            This PR merges the latest changes from the upstream repository:
            - **Repository**: $UPSTREAM_REPO
            - **Branch**: $TARGET_BRANCH

            ## Conflict Resolution Instructions
            If there are conflicts in this PR, you can resolve them locally by following these steps:

            1. **Fetch the remote branch**:
               ```bash
               git fetch origin ${{ steps.push.outputs.BRANCH_NAME }}
               ```

            2. **Checkout the branch**:
               ```bash
               git checkout ${{ steps.push.outputs.BRANCH_NAME }}
               ```

            3. **Merge the upstream branch manually**:
               ```bash
               git fetch https://github.com/flathub/$UPSTREAM_REPO $TARGET_BRANCH
               git merge FETCH_HEAD
               ```

            4. **Resolve any conflicts**:
               Open each conflicted file and manually resolve the conflicts. Then mark each file as resolved:
               ```bash
               git add <file-with-conflicts>
               ```

            5. **Complete the merge**:
               ```bash
               git commit
               ```

            6. **Push the resolved branch**:
               ```bash
               git push origin ${{ steps.push.outputs.BRANCH_NAME }}
               ```
          base: $TARGET_BRANCH
