Motivation
The PyHC website documents fork-and-pull as its contribution model, so contributors are expected to carry copies of these workflow files in their forks.
Someone reported receiving scheduled-workflow notifications from his website fork after GitHub Actions had been enabled there. Investigation showed two unintended fork-side effects:
Forks should remain valid contribution workspaces without running the canonical repository's operational automation.
What changed
PHEP 3 Quarterly Email Reminderjob with an exact canonical-repository check.Update PHEP 3 Schedule Weeklyjob.Both guarded jobs now run only when:
github.repository == 'heliophysicsPy/heliophysicsPy.github.io'If Actions or either workflow is enabled in a contributor fork, GitHub may still create the scheduled workflow run, but these jobs will skip before checking out code, accessing secrets, sending email, or committing generated files.
Validation
actionlint 1.7.12passes with unrelated existingsetup-python@v4and shell-quoting diagnostics suppressed.git diff --checkpasses.
