Summary

This PR addresses issue #[issue_number] by verifying that no GitHub Actions workflows in this repository use actions/stale, which would require adding actions: write permission.

Investigation

A comprehensive search was conducted across all workflow files in .github/workflows/ to identify any usage of the actions/stale action:

  • dependabot-auto-approve.yml
  • fossa.yml
  • ossf-scorecard.yml
  • php.yml
  • split_monorepo.yaml
  • update-dependabot-config.yml

Findings

No workflows are currently using actions/stale. The repository does contain a .github/stale.yml configuration file, but this is for the Probot stale app, which is a different tool from the GitHub Actions actions/stale action.

Conclusion

Since no workflows use actions/stale, no permission changes are required. The issue requirement is satisfied by confirming the absence of this action in the repository's workflows.

If actions/stale is added to any workflow in the future, the permissions block for that job should include:

permissions:
  actions: write # because actions/stale deletes its old cache before saving new one
  contents: read
  issues: write
  pull-requests: write
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add missing actions/stale permission</issue_title>
<issue_description>Check if any workflow jobs are using actions/stale.

If so, make sure that the permissions block for that job contains

actions: write

If any of the other permissions lines have trailing comments, then add a trailing comment for this one too:

actions: write # because actions/stale deletes its old cache before saving new one

Place this new permission in a specific order within the permissions, directly before both:

issues: write
pull-requests: write

(which implicitly means after contents: read)</issue_description>
