#
# - Runs triggered by Dependabot start with a read-only token; the permissions key
# below raises it, and no secrets are needed.
# - A push made with GITHUB_TOKEN does not start CI on its own (its pull_request run
# waits for approval), but a workflow_dispatch event always does, and the checks
# land on the same commit.
# - A push made with GITHUB_TOKEN does not start CI on its own: its pull_request runs
# wait for approval, so this workflow approves them. CI then runs as usual and its
# checks show on the pull request, which those of a workflow_dispatch run do not.
# - "[dependabot skip]" in the commit message lets Dependabot keep rebasing the branch.
# A rebase drops the commit and this workflow adds it again.
