Hello!
Whenever build is canceled via netlify plugin, Github hooks see it as failed task. There was no such issue when we used “build.ignore” via netlify.toml (that setup stopped working for us about 2 weeks ago, so we switched to cancelling builds via plugin)
I followed more or less the tutorial here: How to Deploy Nx monorepos to Netlify. More or less because we have different tech stack, as we use Lerna instead of Nx.
Netlify tells on the (sorry for no pictures, there is limit of 1 image for new users 
) “deploys” page that the build was canceled: “Canceled by Plugin”.
Similar thing says Deploy summary:
Build canceled by ./tools/plugins/netlify/stop-build
Build was cancelled because package ‘shared’ was not affected by the latest changes
this is part of a log that the build:
11:47:52 AM: ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
11:47:52 AM: │ Build canceled by ./tools/plugins/netlify/stop-build │
11:47:52 AM: └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

11:48:25 AM: Finished processing build request in 2m16.09255553s
this is what Github says us;
this is a part of a code of plugin that cancels the build:
if (!projectHasChanged) {
utils.build.cancelBuild(
`Build was cancelled because package '${currentPackageName}' was not affected by the latest changes`
);
}
The goal is to be able to cancel build via plugin, so the Github sees it as cancelled/skipped, not failed.
Thank for help in the advance !
