 # Triggers on push to master branch (fully automated)

-# IMPORTANT: This workflow requires an ADMIN_TOKEN secret to bypass branch protection rules.
-# The ADMIN_TOKEN must be a Personal Access Token or GitHub App token with:
-# - Contents: Write permission
-# - Actions: Write permission  
-# - Pull requests: Write permission
-# - Repository administration permission (to bypass branch protection)
-#
-# To set up the ADMIN_TOKEN:
-# 1. Create a Personal Access Token with the above permissions
-# 2. Add it as a repository secret named 'ADMIN_TOKEN'
-# 3. Fallback to GITHUB_TOKEN if ADMIN_TOKEN is not available
