+          You are running inside the lancedb repository on a GitHub Actions runner. Update the Lance dependency to version ${VERSION} and prepare a pull request for maintainers to review.
+
+          Follow these steps exactly:
+          1. Use "python3 ci/set_lance_version.py ${VERSION}" to update Lance dependencies. The script already refreshes Cargo metadata, so allow it to finish even if it takes time.
+          2. Run "cargo clippy --workspace --tests --all-features -- -D warnings". If diagnostics appear, fix them yourself and rerun clippy until it exits cleanly. Do not skip any warnings.
+          3. After clippy succeeds, run "cargo fmt --all" to format the workspace.
+          4. Ensure the repository is clean except for intentional changes. Inspect "git status --short" and "git diff" to confirm the dependency update and any required fixes.
+          5. Create and switch to a new branch named "${BRANCH_NAME}" (replace any duplicated hyphens if necessary).
+          6. Stage all relevant files with "git add -A". Commit using the message "chore: update lance dependency to v${VERSION}".
+          7. Push the branch to origin. If the branch already exists, force-push your changes.
+          8. Create a pull request targeting "main" with title "chore: update lance dependency to v${VERSION}". In the body, summarize the dependency bump, clippy/fmt verification, and link the triggering tag (${TAG}). Use the GitHub CLI if helpful.
+          9. After creating the PR, display the PR URL, "git status --short", and a concise summary of the commands run and their results.
+
+          Constraints:
+          - Use bash commands; avoid modifying GitHub workflow files other than through the scripted task above.
+          - Do not merge the PR.
+          - If any command fails, diagnose and fix the issue instead of aborting.
