Pull request overview
Updates the weekly tag scan GitHub Actions workflow to use a fine-grained PAT (PR_TOKEN) for operations that need to push branches and open/edit PRs, addressing org-level restrictions that prevent GITHUB_TOKEN from creating pull requests.
Changes:
- Switch
actions/checkoutauthentication fromsecrets.GITHUB_TOKENtosecrets.PR_TOKEN. - Switch
ghCLI authentication fromsecrets.GITHUB_TOKENtosecrets.PR_TOKENfor PR creation/editing. - Preserve working-tree changes when checking out an existing
tag-scan/autobranch viagit stash/git stash pop.
