# No review step: `main` requires 0 approving reviews, so approval is
# unnecessary — and GitHub forbids GITHUB_TOKEN-backed Actions from
# approving PRs ("GitHub Actions is not permitted to approve pull
# requests"), which previously failed this step under `set -e` and
# stopped the merge command from ever running.
# `gh pr merge --auto` enables auto-merge; GitHub completes it once
# the required Backend/Frontend checks pass and the branch is
# up to date (Dependabot keeps its PRs rebased).
