+name: Trigger edera/6.18-lts rebase
+
+# Starts edera/6.18-lts's own nightly rebase, and does nothing else.
+#
+# edera/6.18-lts drives its own rebase with its own copy of
+# kernel-nightly.yml, but GitHub runs scheduled workflows only from the
+# default branch, edera/mainline. So this schedule lives here and dispatches
+# that copy: a workflow is identified by its path, and --ref picks the
+# branch whose file runs.
+#
+# GITHUB_TOKEN can do this: workflow_dispatch is one of the events it is
+# allowed to trigger runs with.
