Since GitHub's June 11, 2026 change "Bot-created pull requests can run workflows if approved"[1], workflow runs triggered by the changelog commit pushed with `GITHUB_TOKEN` are created in an approval-required state instead of being dropped. A maintainer can start the required checks with the "Approve workflows to run" button, so the "draft trick" documented in #476 is no longer necessary and the reusable workflow enables "auto-merge" on the PR again. - Update the `process-dependabot-reusable.yaml` documentation to describe the new flow. - Remove the `ready_for_review` trigger from `build.yaml` and `codeql-analysis.yaml`, restoring the default `pull_request` types.

Follow-up to #500, which replaces the draft-mode step in

GITHUB_TOKENare created in an approval-required state instead of being silently dropped. A maintainer can start the required checks with the "Approve workflows to run" button, so the "draft trick" introduced in #475 and documented in #476 is no longer necessary, and the reusable workflow enables auto-merge on the PR again.Changes:
