Fix auto-version workflow not triggering other workflows on tag push

[Copilot]

Problem

The auto-version workflow creates and pushes version tags successfully, but other workflows (build.yml, update_changelog.yml, update-readme-version.yml) are not being triggered by these tag pushes.

Root Cause

GitHub Actions has a security feature where workflows triggered by the default GITHUB_TOKEN cannot trigger other workflows to prevent infinite loops. The auto-version workflow was using GITHUB_TOKEN for git operations, preventing workflow chaining.

Solution

Updated the auto-version workflow to support Personal Access Token (PAT) configuration while maintaining backward compatibility:

Key Changes

1. Token Configuration with Fallback:

   # In checkout step
   token: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
   
   # In git push step
   env:
     GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

2. User-Friendly Configuration Checking:

   - name: Check token configuration
     run: |
       if [ -n "${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}" ]; then
         echo "✅ PAT_TOKEN is configured - other workflows will be triggered"
       else
         echo "⚠️ PAT_TOKEN not configured - using GITHUB_TOKEN (other workflows won't be triggered)"
         echo "To fix this: Create a PAT with 'contents:write' and 'actions:write' permissions"
       fi

3. Comprehensive Documentation:

   • Added docs/WORKFLOW_TROUBLESHOOTING.md with step-by-step PAT setup instructions
   • Updated README with troubleshooting section
   • Included security considerations and alternative solutions

Backward Compatibility

• Without PAT_TOKEN: Workflow functions exactly as before but shows helpful warnings
• With PAT_TOKEN: Enables workflow chaining to resolve the original issue
• No breaking changes to existing functionality

Setup Instructions

To enable workflow triggering:

1. Create a Personal Access Token with contents:write and actions:write permissions
2. Add it as PAT_TOKEN repository secret
3. Push to main branch - the workflow will detect and use the PAT automatically

Verification

• ✅ All workflow YAML syntax validated
• ✅ Token fallback logic tested
• ✅ Integration tests confirm functionality
• ✅ All dependent workflows verified to have proper tag triggers
• ✅ Existing tests continue to pass

The fix provides clear user guidance while maintaining full backward compatibility, ensuring users can easily resolve the workflow chaining issue when ready.

Fixes #47.
