Use `backport:sync-changelog` instead of `automation` for the pull requests created by the sync-backport-changelog workflow. The `automation` label is already used for unrelated purposes in this repository (dependabot PRs and flaky-test issues), so filtering on it to skip processing sync-changelog PRs would also incorrectly match those. A dedicated label avoids the collision.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
If this looks good, I'll create the label.
💚 Build Succeeded

Proposed commit message
WHY: elastic/integrations#19215 proposed labeling pull requests created by workflows with
automation, so that other automation can skip processing them. However,automationis already applied to dependabot PRs (.github/dependabot.yml) and flaky-test issues (dev/testsreporter/testsreporter.go), so any future check for "does this PR have theautomationlabel" would also match those unrelated PRs/issues.WHAT:
dev/backports/changelog/sync.go: change the label passed togh pr createfromautomationtobackport:sync-changelogwhen creating the changelog-sync PR.Note for reviewers: the
backport:sync-changeloglabel does not exist yet onelastic/integrationsand needs to be created before this takes effect, otherwisegh pr create --labelwill fail.Author's Checklist
backport:sync-changeloglabel onelastic/integrationsbefore/alongside merging this PRHow to test this PR locally
This change only affects the label passed to
gh pr createindev/backports/changelog/sync.go. It can be verified by running the existing unit tests:go test ./dev/backports/changelog/...To confirm end-to-end, trigger the
sync-backport-changelogworkflow (push achangelog.ymlchange to abackport-*branch) and check that the resulting PR is labeledbackport:sync-changeloginstead ofautomation.Related issues
