Close/reopen with GITHUB_TOKEN won't trigger workflows

High Severity

The "Trigger CI checks" step uses GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }} (the GITHUB_TOKEN) to close and reopen the PR. However, GitHub's documentation states that events triggered by the GITHUB_TOKEN — including pull_request.reopened — will not create new workflow runs. This is the exact same limitation the comment on line 296 describes for pushes. The close/reopen cycle will succeed but the resulting event will be silently ignored, so the required CI checks will still never be triggered. A PAT or GitHub App installation token is needed instead.
