+Triggered on approved review for `release/*` PRs targeting `main`.
 
 #### What it does
 1. Verifies PR review decision is `APPROVED`.
 2. Checks out release branch.
 3. Runs `git flow release finish` (merge to `main` + `develop`, create tag).
 4. Pushes `main`, `develop`, and tags.

+5. Deletes remote `release/<version>` branch.
+6. Closes the release PR.
 
 ## Authentication and Secrets
 
 Both workflows use:
 
 - `RDKCM_DEPLOY_KEY`: SSH private key used by checkout and git push operations.
-- `RDKCM_RDKE`: token used by `gh` API/CLI calls.
+- `github.token`: built-in GitHub Actions token used by `gh` API/CLI calls.
+
+Why `github.token`:
+
+- It is automatically provided for each workflow run.
+- It avoids introducing a custom repository secret for API access.
+- It works with the workflow permissions already declared in these jobs.
