New repos not being created - how to have repos created by code

[kamcnally]

I'm attempting to use safe-settings in a new org and I can get it running and syncing existing repositories but I have been unable to get any new repositories to be created. I'm aiming for a solution where collaborators can create a PR for a new repo and have this created for them - rather than creating the repo then having safe-settings find it take control over it.
Any ideas as to what could be going wrong/something I am missing?

Using version 2.1.10 but I have also tried downgrading a few versions back and using head of main-enterprise.

My .github/settings.yml:

repository:
  auto_init: true
  private: true
  visibility: private
  default_branch: main
  has_issues: false
  has_projects: false
  has_discussions: false
  has_wiki: false
  allow_squash_merge: true
  allow_merge_commit: false
  allow_rebase_merge: false
  allow_update_branch: false
  delete_branch_on_merge: true

A repo .github/repos/auto-test-1.yml (also another with the same config as you'll see in the logs):

repository:
  name: auto-test-1
  description: Example of a test repository manage by safe-settings
  force_create: true
  topics:
    - safe-settings

I can see the repo config being picked up in the logs but nothing being done with it:

The PR dry run didn't get the new repo either:

Does not work for me as well
