Migrate auto_update to GitHub App token for PR creation#116
Merged
Conversation
The org-level "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" toggle is intentionally disabled, which blocks GITHUB_TOKEN from opening PRs. Authenticate peter-evans/create-pull-request with a scoped GitHub App installation token (actions/create-github-app-token) instead — this sidesteps the toggle cleanly without re-enabling it, and means auto-update PRs will correctly trigger downstream CI workflows. Also: - Bump peter-evans/create-pull-request v3 → v8.1.1 (Node 24, SHA-pinned) - Remove tj-actions/verify-changed-files (CVE-2025-30066 compromised publisher); replace with native git diff/status shell commands - Drop pull-requests: write and contents: write from GITHUB_TOKEN — the App token carries both; GITHUB_TOKEN now only needs contents: read Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
