should the "Approve Workflows" button warn us when the coding agent has edited workflows?

Body

From reading https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/162826#discussioncomment-13787532 and the rest of that discussion thread, my understanding is that the reason why we can't auto-approve workflow runs after copilot makes commits (and why we probably shouldn't use the workarounds proposed in that thread) is that Copilot might have edited those workflows in dangerous ways.

That does seem like a realistic concern to me, but I'm already finding myself tempted to click the "Approve workflows" button without checking for changes in the workflows first. It would be great if the Github PR interface could show a warning message on that button when workflow files have been edited or added.
