+Sync-back script to automatically update action versions in source templates
+from the generated workflow files after Dependabot updates.
+
+This script scans the generated workflow files (.github/workflows/__*.yml) to find
+all external action versions used, then updates:
+1. Hardcoded action versions in pr-checks/sync.ts
+2. Action version references in template files in pr-checks/checks/
+
+The script automatically detects all actions used in generated workflows and
+preserves version comments (e.g., # v1.2.3) when syncing versions.
+
+This ensures that when Dependabot updates action versions in generated workflows,
+those changes are properly synced back to the source templates. Regular workflow
+files are updated directly by Dependabot and don't need sync-back.
