Good afternoon, Nostr. TIL that workflows using the default `GITHUB_TOKEN` won’t trigger other workflows. So, for example, if your workflow creates a new pull request, regular workflows that would be triggered by this PR (lint, build, test, etc.) won’t run. It does work with Personal Access Tokens and GitHub Apps, though. Time to resurrect Anthony’s Accibot.
