GHA admin workflows fail in fork on pull_request event

[MikeMcC399]

Issue

Two workflows for GitHub Actions triggered by pull_request events cause issues in a fork for pull requests with fork targets.

The workflows are:

Workflow file	Workflow name	Failure reason
.github/workflows/add-issue-to-triage-board.yml	Add issue/PR to Triage Board	Secret ADD_TO_TRIAGE_BOARD_TOKEN missing
.github/workflows/semantic-pull-request.yml	Semantic Pull Request	Missing semantic prefix

• The triage workflow is designed to manage pull requests targeting the main repo. PRs which involve only a fork should be out of scope for this workflow.
• The Semantic Pull Request workflow is to check commits flowing into the main repo's default branch. It does not fit the use case where a PR is created in a fork and the PR is not targeting the main repo at all. There is no need here for a PR to conform to semantic commit conventions.

Workarounds

Workaround - Disable workflows

Refer to the GitHub documentation Disabling and enabling a workflow, individually disable each of the workflows:

Workflow name
Add issue/PR to Triage Board
Semantic Pull Request

A third workflow, associated with issue_comment events might also be disabled at the same time:

Workflow name
Handle Comment Workflow
