fix(ci): use App Client ID for gha-workflows v14 auto-merge#209
Merged
Conversation
The gha-workflows v14 template_automerge_dependabot reusable workflow switched GitHub App auth from App ID to App Client ID and now requires client_id. The caller still passed app_id, which caused startup_failure (invalid workflow file) on the dependabot auto-merge workflow. Map client_id to vars.STAFFBASE_ACTIONS_CLIENT_ID; keep STAFFBASE_ACTIONS_PRIVATE_KEY unchanged. Co-authored-by: GitHub Copilot <copilot@noreply.github.com>

Problem
The
Enable Dependabot Auto-Mergeworkflow fails withstartup_failure("invalid workflow file"). Root cause is not an expired App ID/secret value — it's an undeclared/missing required secret name.Staffbase/gha-workflowsv14 switched GitHub App authentication from App ID to App Client ID.template_automerge_dependabot.ymlnow declaresclient_id(required) instead ofapp_id. The caller still passedapp_id→ GitHub rejects the workflow before any step runs.Fix
Map the App Client ID org variable
STAFFBASE_ACTIONS_CLIENT_IDto the template'sclient_idsecret.STAFFBASE_ACTIONS_PRIVATE_KEYis unchanged.publish-npm.ymlis unaffected (no App auth).Reference:
STAFFBASE_ACTIONS_CLIENT_IDorg variable added in Staffbase/infrastructure (2026-06-05); same pattern already used by keytool-service, customer-control, wams. Companion fixes: cc-saml-test-service-provider#139, cc-custom-plugin-example#540.Co-authored-by: GitHub Copilot copilot@noreply.github.com
