Pull request overview
Adjusts the “PR Screenshots - Commit” GitHub Actions workflow authentication so the screenshots branch push uses the job’s GITHUB_TOKEN (with contents: write) instead of a GitHub App token, resolving the observed git push 403 failures. The GitHub App token step is retained but moved to just-in-time usage for gh api comment updates.
Changes:
- Removed the GitHub App token from
actions/checkout, letting it default toGITHUB_TOKENfor authenticatedgit pushtootelbot/screenshots. - Moved the “Get otelbot token” step to immediately before the PR comment update step, and wired it via
GH_TOKENforgh api.
