Pull request overview
This PR attempts to restrict the automatic assignment of pull request authors to only occur when PRs are first created (opened), rather than on every PR update. However, the implementation contains a critical bug.
Key Issues
- The
isAction: action: Openedcondition was added to the wrong policy rule, breaking the intended functionality

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The isAction: action: Opened condition is added to the wrong rule. This is part of the Issue_Comment rule (lines 159-170) that removes the 'waiting-author-feedback' label, not the Pull_Request rule (lines 154-158) that assigns PRs to authors.
To fix this issue and achieve the PR's goal of "assign authors only on PR creation", move these two lines to be part of the previous rule. The corrected structure should be:
- if:
- payloadType: Pull_Request
- isAction:
action: Opened
then:
- assignTo:
author: True
