# that can fail on configuration rather than on content. Say so plainly
# instead of leaving a bare API error, and still fail the run: a sync
# that silently stops merging would look like nothing had changed.

# Even with auto-merge on, this PR's own CI can sit at "action_required"
# rather than running: GitHub gates pull_request-triggered check runs
# opened under the github-actions[bot] identity behind manual approval
# in the Actions tab, separately from the Allow-auto-merge setting above.
# No workflow-side retry fixes that: it needs a human (or anyone with
# write access) to approve the run once, or the repository's Actions
# settings changed to stop requiring it for this actor.
