+However,

 The expected flow for each Dependabot PR is:
 
-. The reusable workflow appends the changelog commit and converts the PR into draft.
-. A maintainer reviews the change, clicks *Ready for review*, and enables *Auto-merge*.
-. The required-check workflows re-run against the new HEAD; once they pass, *Auto-merge* completes the merge without further manual action.

-For step 3 to work, every workflow providing a required check must subscribe to `ready_for_review`:
