Research direction

Start by locating the release workflow and reviewing how it handles repeated triggers and lock file changes after Dependabot merges. Reproduce or trace both trigger paths, then confirm that repeated triggers update one PR and that lock file changes no longer create unwanted release PRs.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The release workflow currently has two issues:

  1. Creates a new PR for each trigger, instead of updating the existing one.
  2. Triggers on lock file changes, after each dependabot merge
