Walkthrough

A new GitHub Actions workflow is added that automatically links pull requests to related issues. The workflow triggers on specified PR event types, configures permissions for repository and issue access, and invokes an external reusable workflow from the kattu repository, passing an authentication token via secrets.

Changes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Auto-link PR to Issues workflow .github/workflows/use-pr-linker.yml	Workflow triggers on PR opened, edited, synchronize, closed, and reopened events, grants read and write permissions for repository contents and issues, and calls the external mosip/kattu/.github/workflows/link-pr-to-issue.yml@develop reusable workflow, passing ACTION_PAT secret for authentication.

Pin reusable workflow to an immutable commit SHA

.github/workflows/use-pr-linker.yml invokes the reusable workflow with @develop (mutable), which can change without this repo’s review. Pin mosip/kattu/.github/workflows/link-pr-to-issue.yml to a full commit SHA.

Suggested change
