Background
RWX-832
rwx/update-packages-githubalready supportedenable-auto-merge, but the lower-levelgithub/create-pull-requestpackage did not — meaning direct consumers couldn't opt into the same streamlined merge flow, andrwx/update-packages-githubduplicated the logic in a follow-on task.Problem
github/create-pull-requesthad no way to enable auto-merge or request reviewers after creating a PR.Solution
enable-auto-merge(boolean, defaultfalse): after create/update, runsgh pr merge "$pr_number" --auto --squash. Failures are logged but don't fail the task.reviewers(string, default""): comma-separated usernames and/ororg/teamslugs ingh's native format. After create/update, runsgh pr edit "$pr_number" --add-reviewer. Failures (self-review, missing permission, invalid user) are logged but don't fail the task.

rwx/update-packages-githubto delegate auto-merge to the inner package is tracked in RWX-840 and will follow once 1.0.7 is published.Further confirmation needed
robinaughas the requested reviewer — confirm this is an acceptable test account (it will receive a review request notification on each CI run, though the PR is closed immediately after).--squash(not exposed as a parameter), consistent with howrwx/update-packages-githubhandled it previously. Confirm this is the right call for the lower-level package.
