Description

The current .github/workflows/eval-pr.yml uses pull_request_target which grants access to repository secrets. After eval-gate approval, it checks out and executes fork code (npm ci, npm run build, node scripts/) with
GEMINI_API_KEY injected.

Fix PR: #28232 (structural fix using pull_request + workflow_run separation)

This issue exists to satisfy the PR linking requirement. The full technical report is on file with the Google VRP team (submitted April 25, 2026).

Research direction

Read .github/workflows/eval-pr.yml and PR #28232 first. Verify the pull_request/workflow_run separation prevents fork code from running with GEMINI_API_KEY; done means untrusted fork execution no longer has access to repository secrets.
