+name: Trigger edera/6.18-lts audit
+
+# Starts edera/6.18-lts's weekly audit for Edera commits from edera/mainline
+# that it lacks, and does nothing else. The audit runs there, with its own
+# copy of kernel-nightly.yml (audit=true runs lts-audit.yml), and keeps an
+# issue open while anything is missing.
+#
+# GitHub runs scheduled workflows only from the default branch, edera/mainline,
+# so this schedule lives here, like lts-rebase-trigger.yml. It runs after
+# that night's rebases have had time to land.
