---
# Keeps the main→release PR standing at all times.
#
# Every push to main ensures there is exactly one open PR from main into the
# long-lived `release` branch. GitHub automatically refreshes an open
# branch-to-branch PR as main advances, so if one already exists this is a
# no-op; otherwise it opens one (skipping when main has nothing release
# doesn't already have). Release CI (release-ci.yml) runs the full test +
# E2E matrix on that PR; once it greens up a maintainer merges it and cuts a
# release from `release` via release-staging.yml / release-production.yml.
#
# Two-job split on purpose: `check` runs on every merge to main with only the
# default read token and no environment — the common case (PR already open)
# stops there. `open-pr`, which claims the Release-PR-Automation environment
# and mints a GitHub App token, only runs when a PR actually needs creating.
