 **Accepted cost: a body edit on an already-non-draft PR now triggers a real
 run.** Gitea populates no `changes` field for a title-or-body edit, unlike
 GitHub, so the workflow cannot tell the edit that un-drafts a PR from an

-on two capacity slots. It is bounded, though: the workflow's `concurrency:`

+**90 seconds** of a runner shared across four repos on two capacity slots: the

 The evidence for `edited` comes from `daniel/emowheel`, which hit the identical
 bug, shipped the identical wrong fix, and corrected it in commit `08da820` (see
