## Summary
- Fixed all `update-*.yml` workflows that were creating duplicate PRs
every week
## Problem
The update workflows (libarchive, zstd, cares, etc.) were using `${{
github.run_number }}` in the branch name, e.g.:
```yaml
branch: deps/update-libarchive-${{ github.run_number }}
```
This caused a new unique branch to be created on every workflow run, so
the `peter-evans/create-pull-request` action couldn't detect existing
PRs and would create duplicates.
**Evidence:** There are currently 8+ open duplicate PRs for libarchive
alone:
- #26432 deps: update libarchive to v3.8.5 (deps/update-libarchive-56)
- #26209 deps: update libarchive to v3.8.5 (deps/update-libarchive-55)
- #25955 deps: update libarchive to v3.8.5 (deps/update-libarchive-54)
- etc.
## Solution
Changed all workflows to use static branch names, e.g.:
```yaml
branch: deps/update-libarchive
```
This allows the action to:
1. Detect if an existing branch/PR already exists
2. Update the existing PR with new changes instead of creating a new one
3. Properly use `delete-branch: true` when the PR is merged
