Dependabot creates branches in the main repo (not a fork), so the existing fork check passes — but GitHub withholds repository secrets from Dependabot PRs, leaving CI_ACCESS_APP_PKEY empty and causing create-github-app-token to fail. Add `github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]'` guards alongside the fork checks so dependabot PRs skip secret-dependent steps (app token, sccache, auto-commit) and use the plain checkout path instead. Fixes #5746
