Subject: [PATCH] fix: Enable manual validation workflow for bot-created PRs
 (#109)

* fix: Add repository checkout before getting PR details in manual workflow runs

- Fixes 'fatal: not a git repository' error when manually triggering validate-registry workflow
- Adds initial checkout step for workflow_dispatch events before gh pr view command
- Allows manual validation of bot-created PRs (version bumps, doc syncs)
- Resolves issue preventing PR #106 from being merged

* fix: Use pull_request_target to allow workflow on bot PRs

- Add pull_request_target trigger to validate-registry workflow
- Allows workflow to run automatically on bot-created PRs (version bumps, doc syncs)
- Fixes issue where PR #106 and similar bot PRs are blocked
- pull_request_target runs with base branch permissions, safe for bot PRs
