Description
The
pr-tarballjob fails on fork PRs becausegithub.tokenfrom a fork has read-only access to the upstream repo — it cannot create releases or write PR comments.This extracts
pr-tarballinto its own workflow usingpull_request_target(which runs with upstream repo permissions) and gates it onauthor_associationbeing OWNER, MEMBER, or COLLABORATOR. This ensures fork PRs from org members get tarballs while untrusted external PRs are skipped.Related Issue
