GitHub is enforcing (2026-11-02) a default Actions event policy for public repositories that blocks workflows triggered by pull_request_target unless an explicit policy allows it. Without action this workflow would stop triggering on pull requests. A repository-level Actions event policy explicitly allowing pull_request_target, scoped to this workflow file, has been created via the GitHub REST API so the workflow keeps working after enforcement. This commit documents why and how, for future maintainers. Assisted-by: GitHub Copilot Claude Sonnet 5

GitHub is enforcing (2026-11-02) a default Actions event policy for public repositories that blocks workflows triggered by
pull_request_targetunless an explicit policy allows it (see https://docs.github.com/actions/reference/security/securely-using-pull_request_target).Without action,
.github/workflows/ci.yml(which relies onpull_request_targetto safely accessAPIKEY/APISECRETsecrets while checking out PR content into a subdirectory for inspection only) would stop triggering on pull requests after that date.Action taken:
POST /repos/os-autoinst/opensuse-jobgroups/actions/policies) that explicitly allowspushandpull_request_target, scoped to.github/workflows/ci.yml, withenforcement: active. This keeps the workflow triggering correctly both before and after GitHub's Nov 2, 2026 enforcement date.pull_request_targetis safe (no PR code is ever executed, only linted/inspected as data), and where to find/manage the policy.No functional changes to workflow steps.
