Because this job only runs for Dependabot PRs under pull_request_target, GitHub's current Dependabot secret rules say those runs do not receive workflow secrets, so these required app-id/private-key inputs will be empty and actions/create-github-app-token fails before the approve/auto-merge steps. Move the app-token work to a Dependabot-supported trigger such as pull_request with Dependabot secrets, or a follow-up workflow_run that has Actions-secret access. See GitHub's secret-type docs: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/reference/secret-security/secret-types#dependabot-secrets

Summary
Updates the Dependabot auto-merge workflow to use the LayeredCraft GitHub App token for approving and enabling auto-merge. This avoids using
GITHUB_TOKENfor the merge operation so downstream workflows can run after Dependabot auto-merged changes land onmain.Changes
