The CLAAssistant Actions job was failing on an internal PR because the commit author resolved to slerner-bitdrift, which was not covered by the workflow allowlist. This updates the CLA workflow to treat that internal account the same way as the existing trusted bot/internal identities.

  • Root cause

    • contributor-assistant evaluates PR commit authors, not just the commenter who triggers recheck
    • the failing PR’s commits resolved to slerner-bitdrift, so the workflow continued to report an unsigned contributor
  • Change

    • extend .github/workflows/cla.yaml allowlist with slerner-bitdrift
  • Scope

    • workflow-only change
    • no behavior change for external contributors
allowlist: 'bitdrift-opening-capture-sdk-prs[bot],Copilot,slerner-bitdrift'

  • CHANGELOG.md's "Unreleased" section has been updated, if applicable.
