Adjust the CodeRabbit workflow to always post the comment

[tpantelis]

CodeRabbit posts a comment that it skipped the review and it includes @coderabbitai review in the comment which causes the workflow to not post the comment as it checks if already present. So remove the check. It's intended for callers to trigger on opened PRs.

Walkthrough

The workflow simplifies CodeRabbit comment posting logic by removing pagination and duplicate detection, replacing conditional posting with unconditional comment creation and a single log statement.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Workflow simplification \\.github/workflows/coderabbit-trigger.yml	Removed logic that paginated and inspected existing comments to check for duplicate CodeRabbit review comments. Replaced conditional posting with unconditional comment creation and a log message indicating the comment was posted.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~3 minutes

• The change is confined to a single workflow file and removes complexity rather than adding it.
• Logic removal and replacement are straightforward with minimal conditional path changes.

Possibly related PRs

• Add reusable workflow to trigger CodeRabbit review on bot PRs #231 — Adds existence-checking and conditional comment posting logic, which this PR reverses by removing the check and making posting unconditional.

Learning: GitHub Actions workflows triggered by bot PRs (Dependabot, submariner-bot) using the `pull_request` trigger always receive a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN, regardless of permissions set in the workflow. To enable write permissions for bot PRs, use `pull_request_target` instead, which runs in the base branch context with full permissions. This is safe when the workflow only performs API actions without checking out or executing PR code.
