ci: fall back to github.token in the AI policy workflow - #349
Merged

Conversation
Secrets are not exposed to pull requests from forks, so COMMAND_BOT_PAT is
empty there and the first step fails before it checks anything:
gh: To use GitHub CLI in a GitHub Actions workflow, set the GH_TOKEN
environment variable.
Process completed with exit code 4
check-ai-trailers therefore fails on every PR from a fork, regardless of its
commits. The workflow already requests the permissions it needs, so the default
token can read the commit list.
This is what the organization template in nextcloud/.github already does, and
what nextcloud/spreed carries; this copy predates that change.

Problem
check-ai-trailersfails on every pull request from a fork, whatever the commits contain. The first step never gets as far as inspecting them:Secrets are not exposed to
pull_requestruns from forks, sosecrets.COMMAND_BOT_PATis empty andgh apiexits 4.Change
Fall back to
github.token, which is what the organization template in nextcloud/.github already does:nextcloud/spreedalready carries the updated version; this copy predates it. The workflow declares the permissions it needs (contents: read,pull-requests: write,issues: write), so the default token can read the commit list.Noticed because it is the only red check on #343.
