…ll_request The release PR is opened by github-actions[bot], whose author_association on this repo is CONTRIBUTOR rather than MEMBER/COLLABORATOR -- enough to intermittently trigger GitHub's outside-collaborator approval gate on pull_request-triggered runs. Observed on PR #174 and #177 (two consecutive action_required runs each time, needing a manual label toggle to retry). Same fix already applied and verified on nullplatform/tofu-modules' auto-merge-release.yml: switch to workflow_run, which isn't subject to that gate, and resolve the PR via the REST API since workflow_run doesn't carry pull_request context.

Problem
auto-merge-release-printermittently gets blocked withaction_requiredand zero jobs run, on the release-please PR specifically -- observed twice each on PR #174 and #177, needing a manual label toggle (remove/re-add `autorelease: pending`) to force a retry that succeeds.Root cause: the release PR is opened by `github-actions[bot]` via the default token, whose `author_association` on this repo is `CONTRIBUTOR` rather than `MEMBER`/`COLLABORATOR` -- enough for GitHub's "require approval for outside collaborators" gate to sometimes treat its `pull_request`-triggered runs as needing manual approval, even though the branch isn't a fork.
Fix
Same fix already applied and verified end-to-end on nullplatform/tofu-modules: switch the trigger from `pull_request` to `workflow_run` (on `"Release Charts"` completing), which isn't subject to that gate. Since `workflow_run` doesn't carry PR context, a `find-pr` job resolves the open release PR itself (via the REST API, to correctly match `github-actions[bot]`'s login format) and validates its author/label before calling the reusable workflow with `pr_number`.
