Subject: [PATCH] ci(digest): create digest PR with PAT so CI triggers (#50)

Problem: GITHUB_TOKEN-created PRs suppress pull_request workflow
triggers, so CI never runs and auto-merge stalls indefinitely.

Solution: use DIGEST_PAT to create the PR. A PAT-created PR is
treated as a real user action, triggering CI normally. Auto-approve
handles the review requirement, auto-merge fires when checks pass.
