   what is the checkout step's arguments?
   actions/checkout by default only fetches the latest commit with no git history unless you pass it fetch-depth: 0

   fetch-depth: 0 was passed to the checkout. Below is the full action.
   As you can see from the output of the run changeset correctly identified that no changeset exists, but does not return a failure code.

   name: Changeset
   
   on:
     pull_request:
       branches:
         - main
   
   permissions:
     contents: read
   
   concurrency:
     group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.head_ref }}
     cancel-in-progress: true
   
   jobs:
     changeset:
       name: Changeset
       timeout-minutes: 10
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Checkout Repo
           uses: actions/checkout@v3
           with:
             fetch-depth: 0

   apparently status only exits with 1 if no changesets are found and any packages are found to have been "changed" (#504)

   could that be the issue? is changesets detecting the changes if there are any?
