This workflow triggers on every pull_request to any branch. Other workflows in this repo scope PR workflows to main; consider switching to on: pull_request: branches: [main] (and using the expanded on: mapping style) to avoid unnecessary runs and keep workflow triggers consistent across the repo.

permissions are set to contents: write and pull-requests: write at the workflow level, which grants a write-scoped GITHUB_TOKEN for every PR event (even though the job later gates on github.actor). To follow least-privilege, set the workflow-level permissions to read-only (or omit them) and move the write permissions down to the jobs.dependabot.permissions (or the specific step) so they’re only granted when needed.
