# Closes Dependabot PRs while update PRs are gated off via the # CI_ENABLE_AUTO_UPDATES repository variable. Dependabot itself cannot read # repository variables, so the gate is enforced here. # # pull_request_target runs in base-branch context and therefore has # access to repository vars/secrets and a write-scoped GITHUB_TOKEN # even for Dependabot's PRs.
