fix(ci): check PR author not actor for bot linear exemption#25
Merged
Conversation
github.actor reflects whoever triggered the workflow (last pusher), not the PR creator. If a human pushes a commit to a Renovate branch, actor becomes their username and the bot exemption is skipped. Use github.event.pull_request.user.login instead — this is the PR creator and is immutable regardless of subsequent pushes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
