This commit adjusts a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically labels pull requests based on CI results. It adds a built-in repository token, tells the artifact download step to merge single-file artifacts, and explicitly sets the reposi…

ci: actually capture exit code to pass on to label artifact

This is a small GitHub Actions workflow fix. It corrects how the exit code from a semver compatibility check script is captured and passed to later steps. There is no security issue here—just a CI plumbing bug being fixed.

ci: migrate semver check labeller to ci labeller

This commit is a routine cleanup of GitHub automation. It merges two separate PR-labeling workflows into one, removing duplicated code. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin library code or to how user funds or data are handled.

This commit changes a GitHub Actions workflow so that an 'API break' label is added when a version-compatibility check fails and removed when it passes. Previously the label was only added and a comment was always posted. There is no secur…
