📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Extends the skip condition in checkTargetBranch within the Danger script so pull requests authored by the GitHub Actions bot (github-actions[bot] / type Bot) bypass target-branch validation, alongside existing OWNER and MEMBER exemptions.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Branch validation bot exemption scripts/dangerfile.js	Adds a local author variable and extends the skip condition to also bypass target-branch checks when the PR author is the GitHub Actions bot (author.login === 'github-actions[bot]' && author.type === 'Bot').

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/dangerfile.js`:
- Around line 150-157: The code incorrectly reads danger.github.pr.author into
the variable author causing undefined for contributor PRs; update the assignment
to use danger.github.pr.user instead and ensure subsequent checks that reference
author (and authorAssociation) still work (the conditional that checks
['OWNER','MEMBER'].includes(authorAssociation) and the bot check that uses
author.login and author.type should operate on the new author variable). Locate
the author/authorAssociation initialization and replace the source for author
from pr.author to pr.user so the bot/type access no longer throws a TypeError.
