Pull request overview
Updates the validate-pr-target-branch GitHub Actions workflow to avoid incorrectly treating non-user actors (e.g., Copilot) as external contributors, preventing erroneous PR closures while keeping the release-branch targeting policy intact.
Changes:
- Makes bot detection case-insensitive by lowercasing usernames before comparison.
- Changes permission-check error handling to bail out (including on 404) instead of assuming “external contributor” on API errors.
You can also share your feedback on Copilot code review. Take the survey.
