`workflows` is a list of your CI workflows, matched by their `name:` —
the checks that must complete before it's considered safe to auto-merge.
A name that matches nothing is a silently dead trigger; the cron backstop
still works.
To kick off the process of labeling existing PRs for auto-merge you can run this one-liner that will rebase all Dependabot PRs:

```sh
gh pr list --author "app/dependabot" --state open --json number -q '.[].number' | xargs -I{} gh pr comment {} --body "@dependabot rebase"
```
