Version: N/A (workflow-only change)

What does this implement/fix?

Auto Assign now assigns new issues and PRs to the user in the AUTO_ASSIGNEE organization variable (currently WestwardWinds) instead of a name hard-coded in this repo.

Workflow-only change, no firmware change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Automation
    • Pull request assignment automation now runs for pull requests from forks as well as other pull requests.
    • The workflow no longer supplies explicit assignee settings when invoking the assignment process.

Drop the hard-coded assignee and call the shared Workflows autoassign
workflow, which now falls back to the AUTO_ASSIGNEE organization
variable. Run on pull_request_target so assignment also works on
fork-submitted PRs; the workflow never checks out PR code.

Walkthrough

The auto-assign workflow now uses pull_request_target for pull requests. It retains the issues trigger and invokes the reusable workflow without a fork-origin condition or explicit assignee inputs.

Changes

Auto-assign workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update workflow trigger and invocation
.github/workflows/autoassign.yml
The workflow uses pull_request_target and retains the issues trigger. The job no longer skips fork-originated pull requests or passes explicit assignee inputs to the reusable workflow. Comments describe the trigger and the AUTO_ASSIGNEE organization variable.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: bharvey88

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 96903

The change moves auto-assignment to pull_request_target and the organization variable. Check that the repository's Actions event policy allows pull_request_target so PR auto-assignment keeps working. No other concrete risk remains.

site:docs.github.com pull_request_target default policy November 2 2026 public repositories

💡 Result:

GitHub’s **default `pull_request_target` policy** applies to **public repositories without an applicable Actions event policy**. It is currently in evaluate mode, so workflows continue to run while you review which ones would be blocked.

GitHub says it will enforce the policy on **November 2, 2026**, for affected repositories that used the default policy before general availability. It doesn’t apply to private or internal repositories, and it doesn’t override an applicable policy you already configured. To keep using `pull_request_target`, configure an applicable policy that explicitly allows it; otherwise, the event’s workflows will be blocked after enforcement.

Check the Actions event policy for this public repository.

.github/workflows/autoassign.yml uses pull_request_target. GitHub will block this event after November 2, 2026 in public repositories that still use the default policy. Configure an applicable policy that explicitly allows pull_request_target if this repository does not already have one.
