 # For bot-created PRs (like automated version bumps), the workflow won't trigger automatically
 # due to GitHub's security restrictions. In those cases, you can manually trigger this workflow:
 #
+# Option 1 - Run Validation:
 # 1. Go to Actions > Validate Registry on PR > Run workflow
-# 2. Enter the PR number (e.g., 57)
-# 3. Click "Run workflow"
+# 2. Enter the PR number (e.g., 106)
+# 3. Leave "skip_validation" unchecked
+# 4. Click "Run workflow"
 #
-# This will run the validation checks and report the status to the PR.
+# Option 2 - Admin Bypass (for trusted bot PRs):
+# 1. Go to Actions > Validate Registry on PR > Run workflow
+# 2. Enter the PR number (e.g., 106)
+# 3. Check "skip_validation" checkbox
+# 4. Click "Run workflow"
+# 5. The check will pass immediately without running validation
