Belongs with the commit before it and was left out of it by mistake.

The repository's fork-pr-contributor-approval policy is now
all_external_contributors rather than GitHub's first_time_contributors
default, so every run on an outside contributor's branch waits to be
started by hand instead of only their first one. A contributor who does
not know that reads a build check that never appears as an orphaned run
-- which this repository has had, during the 2026-08-26 Actions outage --
and pushes again to shake it loose. Neither that nor reopening the PR
starts it, so say so where the other main protection notes are.

**CI on a PR from a fork waits to be approved.** Every workflow run on an
outside contributor's branch sits at *awaiting approval* until a maintainer
starts it by hand, so the **build** check will not appear the moment you open
the PR — that is the gate working, not a broken run. Pushing again will not
start it, and neither will closing and reopening.
