The
PR Author Checklistworkflow (.github/workflows/authorChecklist.yml) runs on every PR opened againstmain. Itschecklistjob already skips known bots by comparinggithub.actor(OSBotify,imgbot[bot]). PRs authored by the Melvin GitHub App run through this job unnecessarily — Melvin is not an external contributor and has no author checklist to fill out.This adds
