- Add missing checkout step to fix 'fatal: not a git repository' error - Add required permissions (metadata: read, actions: read) for auto-merge - Improve error handling with GitHub API and graceful fallback behavior - Add informative comments to PRs when auto-merge fails due to permissions - Ensure workflow doesn't fail when auto-merge permissions are insufficient Fixes dependabot auto-merge workflow failures and provides better user experience.
- Add repository check to prevent workflow from running on forks - Fixes unwanted failure notifications on personal forks - Ensures workflow only runs on openshift/backplane-cli where intended
- Use environment variable reference instead of direct secret interpolation - Add explicit comments about automatic token masking - Add silent flag to curl commands to reduce log verbosity - Addresses security concerns about token exposure in public repo logs Co-authored-by: feichashao
- Remove X-GitHub-Api-Version header to avoid version binding - GitHub REST API is backward compatible and version header is optional - Simplifies API calls and reduces maintenance overhead
