The scheduled job has been failing on every run with:
fatal: empty ident name (...) not allowed
fatal: Unable to merge '...' in submodule path 'vendor/ruvector'
Two bugs:
1. `git config user.name/email` was only set inside the "Create PR" step,
but `git submodule update --remote --merge` runs first and the merge
inside vendor/ruvector needs a committer when the pinned commit isn't a
fast-forward of upstream `main` → "Committer identity unknown".
2. `--merge` is the wrong operation here. We only want to bump the
superproject's gitlink to the latest upstream commit on each submodule's
tracked branch — there's no reason to create merge commits inside the
vendored repos, and `--merge` breaks whenever the current pin has diverged.
Fix:
- Add a "Configure git identity" step before any commit-creating operation.
- Replace `git submodule update --remote --merge` with
`git submodule sync --recursive && git submodule update --remote --recursive`
(detached checkout at each `.gitmodules` branch tip).
- Log the pointer diff in the "Check for changes" step for reviewability.
- Tidy the PR-creation step (identity now set globally; clearer commit/PR text).

- Add branch = main to each submodule in .gitmodules
- Add GitHub Actions workflow that checks every 6 hours for
upstream updates and opens a PR automatically
