+          
+          For auto-approval eligibility, PRs must:
+          - Be created by \`rhdh-bot\`
+          - Not be in draft state
+          - Use a topic branch matching the auto-approval patterns
+
+          If eligible, the workflow will automatically add \`lgtm\` and \`approved\` labels and approve the PR.
