# The `git push` above does not trigger CI on the dependabot PR.
#
# By default, workflows can't trigger other workflows when they're just using the
# default `GITHUB_TOKEN` access token. (This is intended to stop you from writing
# recursive workflow loops by accident, because that'll get very expensive very
# quickly.) Instead, you have to manually call out to another workflow, or else
# make your changes (i.e. the `git push` above) using a personal access token.
# See
# https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/triggering-a-workflow#triggering-a-workflow-from-a-workflow
#
# I have tried and failed to find a way to trigger CI on the "merge ref" of the PR.
# See git commit history for previous attempts. If anyone desperately wants to try
# again in the future, make a matrix-bot account and use its access token to git push.
# THIS WORKFLOW HAS WRITE PERMISSIONS---do not add other jobs here unless they
# are sufficiently locked down to dependabot only as above.
