@elezar I just added support for PR updates. The bot now detects and updates existing backport PRs when users re-run /cherry-pick commands, using force-push to sync changes and updating PR descriptions with current conflict/merge status. We can now iteratively change backports w/o manual cleanup. |

The cherrypick GitHub Action was running unconditionally on every PR merge. I initially thought this was fine but it caused unnecessary workflow runs and also led to failures. Failures are the bigger issue of the two.
Allow Cherry-Pick Bot to Backport PRs From Just Comments
Now, we can create backports at any point in the review process by using the
/cherry-pickcomment. This prevents running the GHA workflow on every merge and instead only when a user comments/cherry-pickChanges
pull_request_targettrigger, use only/cherry-pickcommentsUse Case
Run
/cherry-pick release-v1.0on an open PR to create a backport early. The bot warns if the source PR isn't merged yet.
