Describe how the trusted ref is selected.

If dev heads a PR against an older feature branch, the checkout can execute scripts at the PR head. The comment overstates the trust boundary. Describe ref selection rather than commit identity.

Update the trust-boundary comments in the workflow to describe that trusted
scripts are checked out from the fixed dev ref, independent of the PR base and
head, and that patches are read through the GitHub API; remove the inaccurate
claim that PR-head code is never checked out or executed.
