📄 Description

Summary

GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't have permission to push to fork branches in workflow_run and issue_comment triggered workflows. This PR switches to using a PAT stored as ACTIONS_UPDATE_TOKEN for workflows that need cross-fork push access.

Changes

  • VRT update workflow: Use ACTIONS_UPDATE_TOKEN for checkout token when pushing VRT screenshot updates to contributor fork branches
  • AI-generated release notes: Pass ACTIONS_UPDATE_TOKEN as environment variable when committing release notes files to PR branches

Notes

  • The ACTIONS_UPDATE_TOKEN secret must be configured in repository settings with appropriate permissions (contents: write)
  • Static analysis may show "Context access might be invalid" warnings for custom secrets - this is expected and informational only
