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.

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
