+# Automatic black formatting migration for Dependabot PRs
+#
+# When Dependabot upgrades black, this workflow installs the new version
+# and runs `black .` so the PR already contains any formatting changes
+# introduced by the upgrade, while leaving the PR open for review.
+#
+# Black uses calendar versioning.  Only the first release of a new calendar
+# year may introduce formatting changes (major bump in Dependabot's terms).
+# Minor and patch updates within a year keep formatting stable, so they stay
+# in the regular Dependabot groups and are auto-merged normally.
+#
+# The companion auto-dependabot workflow skips major black PRs so they're
+# handled exclusively by this migration workflow.
+#
+# XXX: !!! SECURITY WARNING !!!
+# pull_request_target has write access to the repo, and can read secrets.
+# This is required because Dependabot PRs are treated as fork PRs: the
+# GITHUB_TOKEN is read-only and secrets are unavailable with a plain
+# pull_request trigger.  The action mitigates the risk by:
+#   - Never executing code from the PR (the migration script is embedded
+#     in this workflow file on the base branch, not taken from the PR).
+#   - Gating migration steps on github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]'.
+#   - Running checkout with persist-credentials: false and isolating
+#     push credentials from the migration script environment.
+# For more details read:
+# https://securitylab.github.com/research/github-actions-preventing-pwn-requests/
