 This works because `workflow_run` runs in the context of the repository's default branch,
 where secrets such as your `BENCHER_API_TOKEN` and the `GITHUB_TOKEN` are available.
 Therefore, these workflows will only run if they exist on the default branch.
 See [using data from the triggering workflow](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#using-data-from-the-triggering-workflow) for a full overview.
-The pull request number used in the initial workflow must be explicitly passed in since it is not available within  `workflow_run` (ex: `--ci-number $(cat $PR_NUMBER)`).
