+name: Dependabot Integration Tests
+
+# Dependabot-triggered runs are sandboxed by GitHub: a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN and
+# access only to the *Dependabot* secrets store — Actions secrets and variables
+# resolve to empty strings, and this holds for pull_request and pull_request_target
+# alike (the restriction keys on the PR author being dependabot[bot], not on the
+# trigger). So the normal Integration Tests workflow skips every credentialed
+# scenario on a bump and reports green without testing anything.
+#
+# This job runs the real suite for Dependabot bumps by reading all four test
+# credentials from `secrets.*`, which on a Dependabot run resolve to the
+# Dependabot store. They must be set there:
+#   Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Dependabot
+#     HOTDATA_SDK_TEST_API_URL
+#     HOTDATA_SDK_TEST_API_KEY
+#     HOTDATA_SDK_TEST_WORKSPACE_ID
+#     HOTDATA_SDK_TEST_CONNECTION_ID
+# The non-secret three live in `vars` for normal runs but ride along here as
+# secrets because Dependabot has no variables store. The guard below fails the
+# job loudly if a credential is missing, so it can never pass green while
+# silently skipping every scenario.
