Bumps korthout/backport-action from 4.3.0 to 4.5.0.

Release notes

Sourced from korthout/backport-action's releases.

Backport-action v4.5.0

What's Changed

This release introduces a new comment_style input with two options:

  • legacy (default): one comment per target branch. This is the same behavior as you know from previous versions.
  • summary: a single comment per workflow run that updates progressively as each target is processed. It links back to the workflow run, shows a status table for every target, and includes recovery hints for known failure modes (e.g. push permission denied, cherry-pick conflicts).

Here's what a summary comment looks like mid-run:

Backport-action is backporting this pull request in workflow run 15439584062.

Target Status
stable/8.7 ✅ Created #612
stable/8.6 ⚠️ Drafted with conflicts #613
stable/8.5 ❌ Failed
stable/8.4 ➖ Skipped (PR already exists)
stable/8.3 ⌛ Pending

Tried to cherry-pick commits onto stable/8.5, but the cherry-pick failed.

Please cherry-pick the changes locally and resolve any conflicts.

git fetch origin stable/8.5
git worktree add -d .worktree/stable/8.5 origin/stable/8.5
cd .worktree/stable/8.5
git switch --create <backport-branch-name>
git cherry-pick -x a1b2c3d e4f5g6h

Opt in by adding comment_style: summary to your workflow:

- uses: korthout/backport-action@v4.5.0
  with:
    comment_style: summary

I'd love feedback on summary while it's opt-in. Drop a comment on #611 with anything that's confusing, missing, or broken. Once it's proven stable in real workflows, I plan to make it the default and deprecate legacy in a future major release.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
