- Don't require Release builds locally (only as troubleshooting step) - Use --force-with-lease instead of plain force-push - Check remote URLs to identify fork vs upstream - Check PR status within 15-20 min (Windows finishes first) - Reason about automated review comments - Don't create draft PRs (undrafting forces re-build) - Mark green PRs as ready to merge Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
Updates the unattended workflow guidance for autonomous work to reduce unnecessary local friction and improve PR hygiene/safety based on feedback from #15531.
Changes:
- Loosens local build requirements (Debug OK) and adds Release build as a targeted troubleshooting step.
- Improves PR workflow guidance (identify fork vs upstream, avoid draft PRs, check status earlier, mark ready-to-merge).
- Recommends safer force-push behavior with
--force-with-leaseand calls out automated review comments as potentially incorrect.
