debugging workflow
What changed, and why it matters
This commit changes a GitHub Actions workflow file. It adds triggers for pull requests and pull_request_target events, switches the runner label, and adds spacing. The pull_request_target trigger is notable because it can run workflows in the context of the base repository when a pull request comes from a fork, which can be risky if secrets or write permissions are exposed to untrusted code. However, this commit also adds a guard limiting that trigger to fork PRs and routes it through an 'external_contributors' environment, which suggests an attempt to isolate untrusted builds. There is no direct evidence in the diff of a vulnerability being introduced or fixed.
Review the reusable-build.yml workflow and the 'external_contributors' environment configuration to ensure secrets and write permissions are not granted to untrusted fork code. Verify that pull_request_target is necessary and that checkout/actions do not mix base-ref and head-ref contexts unsafely. Consider whether the switch from self-hosted runners to ubuntu-latest affects build integrity or signing steps.
Security signals we found
pull_request_target trigger added

Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies .github/workflows/pr_test_build_android.yml. Changes: (1) expands workflow triggers from push-only to push, pull_request, and pull_request_target; (2) changes runs-on from a custom self-hosted label [Linux, amd64, forlinux] to ubuntu-latest; (3) adds blank lines around the pull_request_target conditional job. The pull_request_target job is gated to fork PRs and uses an environment named external_contributors. pull_request_target runs with base repository permissions/secrets, so misuse can lead to secret exfiltration or repository compromise if the reusable workflow or environment is misconfigured. The switch to ubuntu-latest removes reliance on a self-hosted runner label, which could reduce self-hosted runner poisoning risk but also changes trust boundaries. The commit title/message ‘debugging workflow’ gives no security context.
