fix(ci): use GitHub App token for release-please PRs#40
Merged
Conversation
PRs created by GITHUB_TOKEN don't trigger other workflows (GitHub security feature to prevent infinite loops). This causes release-please PRs to have pending required checks that never start. Solution: Use a GitHub App token instead. PRs created by GitHub Apps DO trigger workflows. Required setup: 1. Install the x-repo-auth GitHub App on this repository 2. Generate a private key for the App 3. Add repository secret: X_REPO_AUTH_PRIVATE_KEY (the private key PEM) 4. Add repository variable: X_REPO_AUTH_APP_ID (2608951) Fixes #39 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Fix release-please PRs having pending required checks that never start.

1. Install the GitHub App
Ensure x-repo-auth is installed on this repository.
2. Generate a Private Key
.pemfile3. Add Repository Secret
X_REPO_AUTH_PRIVATE_KEY.pemfile4. Add Repository Variable

Future release-please PRs will be created by the GitHub App and will automatically trigger the lint-test workflow.
