Change summary
This PR updates pull_request_target workflows to comply with GitHub's recent policy change announced on November 7, 2025 Actions: pull_request_target and environment branch protections changes.
Background
GitHub updated how pull_request_target workflows are evaluated. Previously, these workflows were evaluated using the PR's target branch. Now, they are always evaluated using the repository's default branch (current). This means branch-filtered workflows will only trigger reliably if they exist and match on the default branch.
Changes
Updated the workflows to include all supported branches in their pull_request_target trigger:
Since pull_request_target workflows are now evaluated from the default branch, the workflow file must exist unchanged on the default branch. To support branch-specific triggering across all maintained branches (current, circinus, sagitta), the branch filters must explicitly list all branches or be removed entirely.
These changes ensure that:
Workflows trigger correctly for PRs targeting any of the three supported branches
The workflow files are evaluated from the current branch as per GitHub's new requirement
Note:
As this workflow doesn't have any branch-specific logic (works as per the incoming target branch), no changes needed apart from this.
