dependabot-repair.ymlwas failing withstartup_failureon every PR because the calling workflow had nopermissionsblock, but the referenced external reusable workflow (githubnext/dependabot-campaign/dependabot-repair-reusable.lock.yml) contains jobs requesting write permissions. GitHub validates permission bounds at startup — before anyif:conditions are evaluated — and fails the workflow if nested jobs exceed caller grants.Changes
.github/workflows/dependabot-repair.yml— addedpermissionsblock to thedependabot-repairjob (placed beforeuses:per GitHub convention) covering the max permissions required by any job in the reusable workflow:Same root cause and fix pattern as PR #18629 (
smoke-trigger.yml).
