The job condition uses github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]', which will stop enabling auto-merge if a non-Dependabot user triggers a pull_request event on a Dependabot PR (e.g., via “Update branch”/rebases that generate a new synchronize event). Consider gating on the PR author instead (e.g., github.event.pull_request.user.login) so the workflow consistently applies to Dependabot-authored PRs regardless of who triggered the latest event.
