+# Keeps Solidity pragma floors minimal (`npm run pragma`), opening a PR when any can be lowered.
+#
+# SETUP (one-time, org admin): a short-lived GitHub App token is minted so the opened PR triggers CI
+# (the default GITHUB_TOKEN can't — events it creates don't start workflow runs). Create a GitHub App
+# with Contents + Pull requests set to Read-and-write, install it on this repo, and add two secrets:
+# PRAGMA_BOT_APP_ID and PRAGMA_BOT_PRIVATE_KEY. Reuse an existing org CI-bot App if one exists.
