Pull request overview
Switches Dependabot auto-merge to use a GitHub App token so the resulting merge commit triggers post-merge Actions (which are skipped when using the default GITHUB_TOKEN). Also normalises version comments on pinned Actions so Dependabot can detect and bump them.
Changes:
- Add
actions/create-github-app-tokenstep in the Dependabot auto-merge workflow and pass the generated token togh pr merge. - Update trailing version comments on SHA-pinned Actions to full
vX.Y.Zform across workflows. - Minor cleanup (whitespace in
merge-release.yml, fixed comment spacing).
