-# Bot PR via GitHub App identity
-#
-# Purpose: submit small pilot PRs as lithe-claude-coding[bot] without
-# needing a fresh transient PEM upload for every run. The App private
-# key lives once in GitHub Secrets; this workflow mints a short-lived
-# installation token and opens the PR.
-#
-# Guardrails, matching the repo's v1 bot rules:
-# - Trigger is workflow_dispatch ONLY (maintainer explicitly triggers;
-#   no webhook, no automatic Issue-comment trigger, no bot-to-bot run).
-# - Base branch MUST be `preview`. Any other base fails the job.
-# - No auto-merge, no "mark ready" step. `draft: true` (default) keeps
-#   the PR a draft; `draft: false` creates it open/ready for review
-#   and merge by a human, per the finished-work rule.
-# - The workflow creates one branch and one PR per run; it never
-#   pushes to preview or main directly.
-# - Small pilot patches only: the reviewed unified diff is passed as
-#   the `patch` workflow_dispatch input. Large diffs, binary files,
-#   and refactors stay on the transient-PEM path.
-# - This workflow does NOT run Codex, does NOT claim Issues, and
-#   does NOT review PRs. Those steps are separate.
-#
-# Required repository Secrets (set by the repo owner in Settings):
-#   APP_ID          - GitHub App ID for Lithe Claude Coding
-#   APP_PRIVATE_KEY - whole .pem contents for that App
