ci: scope stale-repos App token to least privilege#40
Merged
Conversation
The create-github-app-token step set no permission-* inputs, so the installation token inherited blanket permissions (zizmor github-app). Scope it to what the workflow needs: contents:read + pull-requests:read (stale-repos activity/PR/release metrics) and issues:write (the report issue).

What
Adds least-privilege
permission-*inputs to theactions/create-github-app-tokenstep instale-repository-identifier.yaml. Without them, the installation token inherits all of the App's permissions (zizmorgithub-appfinding).Scopes the token to exactly what the workflow uses:
permission-contents: read+permission-pull-requests: read— stale-repos reads repo/PR/release activitypermission-issues: write— opens the stale-report issueContext
This hardening was written during #39 but landed on that branch after it was squash-merged, so it never reached
main(the alert was PR-surfaced only, not active onmain). This is the focused follow-up to land it.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
