Project bot always breaks because some actions move automation cards from the top/bottom slots of the column

I think you might already be aware based on your comment here, but the current constraint of requiring the project-bot automation cards to be at the top or bottom of the column breaks project-bot often.

For instance, earlier, I requested the a teammate make changes to a pull request, which moved the pull-request card to the bottom of the column, underneath the automation card (which was previously at the bottom, because that seems the most stable position), which in turn broke automation for the column, which creates manual work that nobody even knows needs to be done!

This constraint seems like a big risk for this otherwise really useful solution. Project-bot definitely has made our lives easier, but has potential to an invisible backlog of manual work due to the top/bottom of column requirement.

I wonder if projectbot could get its own automation column that we could put down on the end out of view to fix this?

This is my biggest problem! Would love if the note could be anywhere in the column.
