However, when the CSR bot's pullRequestWorkItem runs for the first time, it is likely that the PR bot's CheckWorkItem has not yet run, resulting in the absence of the PROGRESS_MARKER in the pull request body. In this case, the CSR bot continues to add the CSR_UPDATE_MARKER, while the PR bot attempts to update the pull request body but finds that it has been recently updated and therefore gives up on the update.
