Problem
Some pull request workflows try to write comments or update project boards. GitHub does not provide the required write token or GitHub App credentials to fork and Dependabot pull requests.
The changeset hygiene workflow completes its setup and report generation before its comment request fails with a 403 response. Example failure: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-js/actions/runs/32717251565/job/97401261439?pr=4614
The feature flags project-board workflow already skips some restricted runs. Its guard only checks fork status for
pull_request, notpull_request_review. It also checksgithub.actorfor Dependabot, but that value identifies the reviewer during review events.Changes
GitHub treats skipped jobs as successful.
Testing
