 When running as a GitHub Action, the contributors report is automatically displayed in the [GitHub Actions Job Summary](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#adding-a-job-summary). This provides immediate visibility of the results directly in the workflow run interface without needing to check separate files or issues.
