Hi!

Our project requires a CI to succeed for a PR to be merged. We, as collaborators, cannot merge forcefully. The problem here is that the CI requires 2 secrets (from the base branch) and code from the head branch (the PR's changes). We tried using the pull_request scope first, but it failed as the secrets were not available in the head branch. After changing to pull_request_target, we can't test the commits in PRs. Is there any good way to do this?

Thanks!
