# pull_request_target runs with base-repo permissions (including write) even
# for fork PRs, allowing us to post a comment directly without the artifact
# hand-off to a second workflow_run workflow.
#
# Only git history is read here — no PR code is built or executed — so
# checking out the PR head SHA is safe under pull_request_target.
