Description of changes
Previously, even if the check also failed on the base branch, it would look like the PR introduced the failure (though I don't think this even happened).
We can have a better error message for such cases by also running the tool on the base branch, which is achievable with little extra effort.
However the main motivation really is that this paves the road towards #256788.
Note that due to using
pull_request_target
instead ofpull_request
, this PR itself does not trigger the new workflow.Things done
