tag-bump/release-bump: mint App token so bump PRs trigger CI - #23

…er CI PRs and pushes made with the default GITHUB_TOKEN never trigger workflows (recursion guard), so the required 'test' check sat unreported on every bump PR and the merge gate never opened. Both reusable workflows now optionally accept RELEASE_APP_ID / RELEASE_APP_PRIVATE_KEY (org secrets, scoped to the 18 cascade repos), mint an installation token, re-point the git remote at it (checkout's persisted extraheader would otherwise win), and create the PR as the App — whose events DO trigger CI. Falls back to github.token when the secrets are absent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Final link in the cascade chain: GITHUB_TOKEN-created PRs never trigger workflows, so required checks sat unreported on bump PRs. Both reusable workflows now mint a pilot-release-bot installation token from the new org secrets (scoped to the 18 cascade repos) and push/PR as the App — whose events do trigger CI. Fallback to github.token when secrets absent. Receivers switch to
