In the original PR (#6), a Personal Access Token (PAT) was used, but that resulted in the comment being left as if coming from my account, which is misleading, which is why the `repo_token` was initially switched back to `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN`, with a reminder that a test would need to be done with a PR coming from a fork to verify that the auto-comment would still work. As the first PR from a fork has now come in (#38), it has become clear that the auto-comment does not work with the default GitHub token, so this commit switches the `repo_token` back to the Personal Access Token and updates the message to make it clear I did not leave the comment. We'll still have to test (again) whether using the PAT works for PRs coming from forks. If not, we'll have to revisit this workflow step.
