The original implementation used the org membership API check which requires read:org scope that the default GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't have, causing all PRs to be treated as external. Switch to using author_association from the webhook payload with a fallback repo permission check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
