feat(workflow): add action to trigger PR creation via issue comment or manual run
…r manual runs

This commit introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow that listens for issue comments of type 'created' and also supports manual triggering via workflow_dispatch. The goal is to automate PR-related tasks — such as automatically opening or modifying pull requests — based on comments made on issues or via admin control.

Key Features:

• Listens for issue_comment events (e.g. /create-pr)
• Can be triggered manually using workflow_dispatch
• Grants scoped permissions to write to contents and pull requests

Use Cases:

• Enable maintainers to trigger automated PRs via comments
• Support CI/CD pipelines that require comment-based automation
• Enhance contributor and bot collaboration (e.g., Dependabot integration)

Security Notes:

• Only users with write permissions on the fork will be able to push changes
• Permissions are limited to only what's necessary: contents: write, pull-requests: write

Next Steps:

• Add conditionals to filter comments (e.g. specific slash commands)
• Extend with job steps to create or modify PRs automatically

This workflow is foundational for scaling automation in this repo while keeping manual control where necessary.

Pull Request Overview

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that can be triggered by issue comments or manually to automate creating pull requests for updating the CHANGELOG.

• Introduces descriptive header metadata for the new workflow
• Modifies the workflow’s name field but leaves it empty
• Lacks the required on: trigger configuration

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (3)

.github/workflows/auto-pr-on-comment.yml:1

• Invalid YAML key feat. Workflow files require top-level keys like name or on. Move this description under comments (prefix with #) or into a valid key, and replace it with a proper name: field.

feat: trigger PR creation on issue comment or manual dispatch

.github/workflows/auto-pr-on-comment.yml:7

• Empty name: value. Please provide a descriptive workflow name (e.g., name: Auto PR on issue comment or manual dispatch).

name: 

.github/workflows/auto-pr-on-comment.yml:10

• Missing on: section. You need to define triggers such as:

on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]
  workflow_dispatch: {}

# **What it does**: If a member of the github org posts a changelog comment, it creates a PR to update the CHANGELOG.md file.
