Summary

This updates the Dependabot auto-merge workflow to use IMPRESSBOT_TOKEN for the merge API call instead of GITHUB_TOKEN.

Why

GITHUB_TOKEN is blocked from merging pull requests that update files under .github/workflows/, which caused this failure:

Change

  • .github/workflows/dependabot.yml
    • �ctions/github-script merge step now uses ${{ secrets.IMPRESSBOT_TOKEN }}

Expected result

Dependabot PRs that include workflow file updates can be approved and merged by the auto-merge workflow without hitting the workflows permission error.
