The "chore: version packages" PR was pushed with the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN, and pushes made with that token never start workflow runs, so CI never ran on it. The release job now mints a token from the release GitHub App (RELEASE_APP_ID, RELEASE_APP_PRIVATE_KEY), scoped to this repository, and hands it to checkout and changesets/action. npm trusted publishing via OIDC is unchanged.

Walkthrough

The release workflow creates a repository-scoped GitHub App token and uses it for checkout and the Changesets action.

Changes: Release workflow token

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Create and use the release token .github/workflows/publish.yml	The release job mints a repository-scoped App token from configured credentials. Checkout and the Changesets action use that token instead of the default token.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Low · previous review f6124

Compromised release dependencies could use the App token to trigger workflows. Disabling checkout credential persistence limits that exposure.

- Line 35: Set persist-credentials to false on the checkout step that uses
steps.app-token.outputs.token, so checkout does not retain the App token in Git

push authentication.

Code Review ✅ Approved 1 closed / 1 findings

🔴 High risk · The release workflow now uses a repository-scoped app token with contents and pull-request write access, which could enable unintended repository changes if misused.

Pushes the version PR with a release GitHub App token instead of GITHUB_TOKEN so CI workflows trigger on it. The app token is now scoped to this repository with only contents and pull requests write permissions, addressing the over-broad token finding. No open issues found.

✅ Security: App token isn't limited to the permissions the release job needs

📄 .github/workflows/publish.yml:24-35
actions/create-github-app-token is called without any permission-* inputs, so the token gets every permission the release app's installation has. Those could include workflows, administration, or ruleset bypass, which the old GITHUB_TOKEN (contents/pull-requests: write) could not do. actions/checkout keeps this token in .git/config (persist-credentials defaults to true) while pnpm install, npm install -g npm@latest and pnpm build run third-party code. A compromised dependency could read the token and, for example, edit workflow files or push to main, which starts publish.yml. Limit the token to what changesets needs with permission-contents: write and permission-pull-requests: write.
