💡 Motivation and Context

Python SDK releases currently open a new downstream PostHog dependency PR for every version, leaving superseded updates open.

Match the JS updater's queue-aware reuse behavior:

• Reuse the newest matching open PostHog/posthog Python upgrade PR, including existing version-named branches.
• Use posthoganalytics-upgrade when no matching PR exists.
• Use a version-specific branch when the existing PR is running or waiting in Trunk's merge queue, or its queue status cannot be read. Updating a queued branch can restart checks for the PRs behind it.
• Refresh the reused PR's title and body for the new version.

PR discovery filters by title before applying the result limit, and the queue check reads all comment pages so it does not use a stale first-page status.

This changes only the downstream upgrade workflow. Package publishing and SDK runtime behavior are unchanged; no package release is needed. Existing superseded PRs are not closed by this change.

💚 How did you test it?

• Parsed the workflow YAML and ran actionlint v1.7.7.
• Checked the branch-selection shell with bash -n and ShellCheck at warning severity.
• Executed the actual branch-selection script with mocked gh responses in 14 scenarios: first PR, legacy/stable branch reuse, running/waiting queue, failed queue lookup, cleared queue status, unrelated comments, fork/unrelated-package exclusion, multiple matches, queue-status transitions beyond the first comment page, and failed PR lookup. All passed, along with title/body output wiring assertions.
• A read-only live PR lookup found all three existing Python upgrade PRs in newest-first order.
• git diff --check passed.

No live upgrade workflow was dispatched; branch pushes and PR updates performed by the workflow remain unverified end to end.

📝 Checklist

• I reviewed the submitted code.
• No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.

🤖 Agent context

Autonomy: Human-driven (agent-assisted)

Implemented with Pi, using Git/GitHub CLI for source inspection and local shell/YAML validation. The workflow follows the current JS updater's reuse and queue-protection pattern. A fresh read-only reviewer inspected the change before submission.
