Background
We currently have two separate workflows that react to pull_request_target on PR open:
Pull Request Labeler / labeler — applies labels via actions/labeler.Auto-assign / assign-pr-author — assigns the PR author to the PR.
Having two workflows produce two separate check entries on every PR adds noise without functional value, since both run the same trigger and have the same audience.
There is also a third job, Auto-assign / credit-issue-on-pr-merge, which is unrelated to PR open — it runs on PR close and credits authors on the linked issue.
Proposal
- Move the
assign-pr-author logic into the existing Pull Request Labeler / labeler job as an additional step (gated on action == 'opened').
- Reduce
Auto-assign to just credit-issue-on-pr-merge, triggered only by pull_request_target: closed and gated on pull_request.merged == true.
This keeps all PR-open automation under one check, and keeps the merge-time credit logic isolated and clearly scoped to merged PRs.
