Dependabot PRs merged with
GITHUB_TOKENdon't trigger downstream workflowson the target branch — this is an intentional GitHub restriction to prevent
recursive workflow runs. As a result, merging a Dependabot PR into
mainnever triggered the release workflow.
In this PR we switch the Dependabot auto-merge workflow to use a GitHub App installation
token via
actions/create-github-app-token, so the merge is attributedto the app and the push to
maintriggers the release workflow normally.Also adds
workflow_dispatchto the release workflow for manual triggering.
