Uses pull_request_target to get write permissions without exposing secrets to PR code (no checkout step). Approves the PR and enables GitHub auto-merge, which waits for all required status checks to pass before merging. https://claude.ai/code/session_01UWiK5bH6Be6vft43zVVNbH
The auto-merge workflow requires repo settings (allow auto-merge, branch protection) that can't be codified in files. Exclude it from the template so generated repos don't ship with a broken workflow. https://claude.ai/code/session_01UWiK5bH6Be6vft43zVVNbH
Instead of pull_request_target + --auto (which requires branch protection and the "Allow auto-merge" repo setting), trigger on workflow_run after the Test workflow succeeds. This merges directly once tests pass, with no repo settings required. Security: workflow_run always runs base branch code, never checks out PR code, and the PR author is verified both via the event actor and a redundant API check. https://claude.ai/code/session_01UWiK5bH6Be6vft43zVVNbH
