According to the API docs, I should be able to get the latest check run for a build with a given name CHECK_NAME using the following URL:
https://api.github.com/repos/${OWNER}/${REPO}/commits/${REF}/check-runs?check_name=${CHECK_NAME}&filter=latest
However, when I run
curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" 'https://api.github.com/repos/mit-plv/bedrock2/commits/master/check-runs?check_name=build%20(master,%20coq%20libcoq-ocaml-dev,%20ppa:jgross-h/coq-master-daily)&filter=latest'
I get two builds with that given name, instead of just the latest, so it seems that the option filter=latest was ignored.
Here’s the (shortened) output:

I think that this is a bug, because if I specify a check_name and filter=latest, I would expect that I get at most one check run, namely the latest one with that name. Or does filter=latest have a different meaning?
