re: `pull_request_target` and fork PRs - You can get around the !Even More Fun! limitations this has (GITHUB_TOKEN being read-only) by having a workflow called by another workflow.

For example, I wrote a set of workflows[1] to automatically apply a label after 2 'review approvals'.

First, a 'dummy' workflow triggering off PRs (in that context) that uploads an artifact: the PR number

Second, the 'real' workflow that runs in the context of the actual repository, set to be `on: workflow_run: workflows: - Final Review Labeler` - this pulls in the artifact, runs a GraphQL query, and applies the label if applicable.
