The smallstep/winget-pkgs fork drifted ~86K commits behind microsoft/winget-pkgs, causing winget releases to fail with API errors. This workflow syncs the fork monthly to prevent drift. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
smallstep/winget-pkgsfork withmicrosoft/winget-pkgsContext
The Winget release flow stopped working 7 months ago, I think it was because the fork drifted ~86K commits behind upstream. When goreleaser tried to sync the fork during release, it failed with 502/500 errors due to the massive divergence.
This workflow prevents that by keeping the fork reasonably up to date.
