+name: Comment on external PRs with linter results
+
+# This is a continuation of ./docs-lint-v2.yml, to write comments on external
+# PRs.
+#
+# SECURITY:
+# This workflow runs with write permissions, in the context of code from an
+# external PR. This is safe because no external code is executed. The
+# stringified Markdown output from the linter (downloaded as an artifact) is
+# directly written as the body of a PR comment.

+# Internal PRs:
+# Have write permissions, so comments are written directly by reviewdog.
+#
+# External PRs:
+# Have read-only permissions, so lint results are uploaded as an artifact, to
