| # Keep Scheduled Workflows Alive | ||
| # | ||
| # Purpose: | ||
| # GitHub automatically disables scheduled workflows after 60 days of repository inactivity. | ||
| # This workflow prevents that by creating minimal activity when needed. | ||
| # | ||
| # How it works: | ||
| # 1. Runs on the first day of every month | ||
| # 2. Checks if the keep-alive PR exists | ||
| # 3. If PR doesn't exist, creates it with a persistent branch | ||
| # 4. Reopens the PR (if closed) and immediately closes it again | ||
| # 5. This activity prevents workflow deactivation | ||
| # | ||
| # Manual trigger: | ||
| # This workflow can also be triggered manually via workflow_dispatch if needed. | ||
