Bot-created pull requests can run workflows if approved GitHub now allows pull requests created by the `github-actions[bot]` to run CI/CD workflows if approved by a user with write access to the repository. The change requires explicit user approval as a security measure to prevent automated workflows from accessing sensitive information. Previously, bot-generated pull requests could not run workflows, risking merges without CI validation. Bot-created pull requests can run workflows if approved Pull requests created by the github-actions bot are now able to run your CI/CD workflows with user approval. Requiring approval is a security measure to ensure generated code does not automatically run workflows which may have access to sensitive information. This matches the behavior of Copilot-generated pull requests https://docs.github.com/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/cloud-agent/configuring-agent-settings allowing-github-actions-workflows-to-run-automatically-when-copilot-pushes . Previously, pull requests generated by github-actions bot were not able to run CI/CD workflows, allowing pull requests to be accidentally merged without having gone through CI. This change allows all pull requests, even bot-generated changes, to run configured CI/CD workflows if approved by a user with write access to the repository.
