ci: create pre-commit autoupdate PRs with a GitHub App token#1209
Merged
Conversation
Use a GitHub App token (actions/create-github-app-token) for checkout and create-pull-request instead of the default GITHUB_TOKEN. PRs opened with GITHUB_TOKEN do not trigger pull_request workflows, so the required CodeQL and dependency-review checks never ran and the PRs stayed blocked. With an App token the PRs trigger CI and become mergeable automatically.
