Fix: bimonthly PRs never had CI run against them - #21

Pushes made with the workflow's own GITHUB_TOKEN don't trigger other workflows (a GitHub Actions loop-prevention rule), so ci.yml's normal pull_request/push triggers never fired for the PR this workflow opens. gh pr merge --auto was waiting on required checks that could never appear. Found by actually running the workflow end to end and watching the resulting PR sit with mergeStateStatus BLOCKED and zero checks. Fixed by explicitly running `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref $BRANCH` right after pushing -- the resulting check-runs attach to the commit SHA, which is what branch protection actually matches on, regardless of which event triggered the run.
