+The workflow runs the canonical pre-commit suite once on each workflow run. If
+it changes tracked files on a same-repository pull request, the workflow commits
+the fixes and the resulting push starts the confirmation run. The key is
+provisioned by `tfroot-github` to approved repositories only. Without it,
+pre-commit drift fails the `test` job and the pull request branch must be
