description: >-
Optional PAT used to enable auto-merge. When set, the eventual
server-side merge commit is attributed to the PAT owner, so the
caller repo's push workflows (CI, deploys) fire on bot merges —
GITHUB_TOKEN-attributed merges trigger nothing (GitHub recursion
guard). Cross-org callers MUST map this explicitly; `secrets:
inherit` is a silent no-op across orgs.
required: false
# GITHUB_TOKEN is automatically passed to reusable workflows; no need to declare.
