tokenthe job uses the defaultGITHUB_TOKENof the repository. But this only works if the "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" is enabled on the repository. I don't have perms to see if it is here onrust-psbt, but I bet it isn't. And I bet it is enabled over onrust-bitcoin-maintainer-toolswhich is why it worked over there.In any case, it is probably better to keep that setting disabled and use a user account PAT with just repo permission.
