Policy Bot looks for its own status context to identify when people or apps might be impersonating it, but it used a simple prefix match. This meant it could falsely trigger on unrelated contexts that shared the same prefix. Change to using an exact match or a prefix match followed by a ':', which will match the contexts with a branch name.
