ci(format): fix checkout for fork PRs#5164
Merged

Conversation
The format job checked out github.head_ref without setting repository, so it defaulted to the base repo. For fork PRs the head branch only exists on the fork, making checkout fail with 'a branch or tag with the name <branch> could not be found' (e.g. PR #5099). Resolve repository to the head repo on pull_request events; same-repo PRs are unchanged, so the same-repo-guarded auto-format push-back still works.

Problem
The
formatjob setsref: github.head_refbut leavesrepository:unset, so it checks the head branch out of the base repo. For fork PRs the head branch only exists on the fork, so checkout fails before formatting even runs.Seen on #5099 (fork PR, branch
