GitHub enforces a default Actions policy that blocks pull_request_target in public repositories from 2026-11-02. This repository now has an Actions policy that allows the event for this workflow only, matched by its file path. Renaming or moving the workflow would silently put it back under the default block, so the workflow now says so where someone renaming it will see it.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that the pull request title workflow requires an Actions policy to permit its file path in public repositories. The policy path must also be updated if the workflow file is moved or renamed.

The PR title workflow now includes a comment about the repository Actions policy for its pull_request_target trigger. The comment also notes that moving or renaming the workflow requires updating the policy path.

The workflow note may imply that GitHub is already blocking these runs. Update the wording to state the November 2, 2026 enforcement date so maintainers understand the current policy status.

State the enforcement date.

As of October 15, 2026, GitHub says the default policy is in evaluate mode; enforcement for affected repositories starts November 2, 2026. The present-tense “blocks” can imply that GitHub already blocks these runs. (docs.github.com)
