+name: Assign PR Reviewer (round-robin)
+
+# Auto-assigns one reviewer to each new external PR, so community contributions
+# have a named, accountable reviewer instead of sitting in a shared queue. PRs
+# authored by someone in AUTHORIZED_USERS are left unassigned. That same list is
+# the reviewer pool, so there is no separate roster to maintain.
+#
+# Uses pull_request_target (same rationale as pr-size.yml): a fork PR's default
+# token is read-only and cannot request reviewers, so we need the base-repo token.
+# Safe because this workflow ONLY reads PR metadata and assigns a reviewer — it
+# never checks out or executes untrusted PR code.
