What this PR does / why we need it:

Resolves the open CodeQL alert py/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization (CWE-20) in plugins/jira/skills/status-analysis/scripts/gather_status_data.py.

The GitHub PR URL check used substring tests ("github.com" in url and "/pull" in url), which CodeQL flags because the host is not pinned — a URL like https://evil.net/github.com/o/r/pull/1 would pass. The fix reuses the class's existing anchored PR_PATTERN regex (https?://github\.com/[^/]+/[^/]+/pull[s]?/\d+), which pins the host immediately after the scheme. This is the same pattern PRRef.from_url already relies on, so behavior is unchanged for legitimate URLs while the bypass is closed.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes

Special notes for your reviewer:

  • One-line change; verified the anchored pattern matches valid PR URLs (https://github.com/o/r/pull/1, .../pulls/12) and rejects bypass forms (https://evil.net/github.com/o/r/pull/1, https://evil-github.com/o/r/pull/1).

Checklist:

  • Subject and description added to both, commit and PR.
  • Relevant issues have been referenced.
  • This change includes docs.
