-      # - The `workflow_run` metadata contains an array of `pull_requests`:

-      #   2. There should only be one PR item in the array, verify that it shares the same `head_sha` (latest commit of PR).
-      # - Careful when using GHA context expressions that may have untrusted input here. The expressions are evaluated before the script content itself is run:
-      #   https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/4247#discussion_r1827067475
