Automated maintenance PRs authored by github-actions[bot] should be evaluated as trusted team contributions and should not receive contributor-facing comments.

  • Contribution Checker
    • Short-circuit evaluation for github-actions[bot].
    • Return an aligned lgtm result with an empty comment.
    • Leave the existing checklist, verdict rules, and comment behavior unchanged for human authors.
If the author is `github-actions[bot]`, treat the PR as a trusted team member contribution.
Return verdict `🟢`, quality `lgtm`, and an empty `comment`.

Great work on improving the Contribution Checker agent! 🎯 This change makes the bot's maintenance PRs (from github-actions[bot]) bypass the standard contributor checklist, treating them as trusted team contributions.

The update is minimal, focused, and well-motivated. It improves the contributor experience by avoiding unnecessary friction on automated maintenance PRs while keeping the full evaluation intact for human contributors.

✅ This PR looks ready for review.
