### Relevant log output

This seems to be a general issue with GitHub Actions and not directly with git-auto-commit. It seems the "Expected — Waiting for status to be reported" message comes from protected branch rules.

According to this Stack Overflow answer, the issue can be resolved by using a personal access token or by closing an reopening the pull request (obviously not a great solution).

While searching through the issues in this repo, I found that the issue last time was resolved by using a personal access token too: https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/issues/163#issuecomment-869004916
