PATs expire when unused for a year. So, we need to use it regularly. Adding an API hit to the weekly test run should keep the PAT active indefinitely. Here we use the dependencies script so that it runs as early as possible each week before most other things might fail and kill the build. Also, we use `|| true` so that any PR runs can continue passing even if the PAT has expired.
