The scheduled workflow that updates
flake.lockfailed at PR creation in its first nightly run. The reason is,GITHUB_TOKENis governed by the repository/org Actions policy “Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests”. In tiiuae organization, that setting is locked off, so calls fromGITHUB_TOKENto create/update PRs are blocked with:GitHub Actions is not permitted to create or approve pull requests.Using
AUTOMATION_TOKEN(fine-grained PAT) authenticates as a separate principal and is not blocked by that specific Actions toggle, so branch push + PR creation can proceed.Tested in this run: https://github.com/tiiuae/ghaf-infra/actions/runs/22089303773/job/63830626190, which pushed the PR: #887.
