Pull request overview
Updates the “Update branches” GitHub Actions workflow summary so key values (branches, commit SHA, actor) remain code-styled while becoming clickable links to their corresponding GitHub pages.
Changes:
- Add computed repository/branch/actor/commit URLs for reuse in workflow summary output.
- Replace plain backticked branch/commit entries with backticked markdown links in the summary table.
- Apply the same linked formatting in the post-merge success message for consistency.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

The branch update workflow summary rendered branch and commit values as plain backticked text, which made the key navigation targets non-clickable. This updates the summary so branch names, commit SHA, and actor references remain code-styled while linking to their GitHub destinations.
