Description

In order to setup a GitHub Action to auto-PR changes, the ncu-team command seems to need the more interactive config/login that I couldn't figure out a way of getting around.

Maybe just a documentation issue, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to either accept the built-in GitHub Actions secret token, or how one might be provided so an auto-PR could be created.

Research direction

Start at the ncu-team sync command and trace its interactive config and login flow, then check how GitHub Actions secret tokens are currently handled. Define the noninteractive authentication path needed for auto-PR workflows and document or test the resulting invocation so completion can be verified.
