Grants contents: write and pull-requests: write on the config-sync sync job so it can push the branch and open the sync PR explicitly, rather than relying on the ambient repo default token permissions. Matches the pattern used by the prek/commit-check callers. Pairs with ShipSoft/.github#20.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Improved automated shared configuration synchronization by enabling the required repository update permissions.

Grant contents/pull-requests write on the sync job so it can push the
branch and open the config-sync PR without relying on the ambient repo
default token permissions.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Grant sync job write permissions
.github/workflows/update-shared-configs.yml
The sync job grants write access to repository contents and pull requests before it invokes the shared configuration sync workflow.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8447d

The config-sync job would grant write access to a reusable workflow that is referenced by the mutable main branch, so future changes to that workflow could gain permission to modify repository content and open pull requests. Pin the workflow to a reviewed commit before merging.

Pin the reusable workflow before granting write access.

config-sync.yml@main uses GITHUB_TOKEN to create pull requests and has write permissions. Pin it to a reviewed full-length commit SHA before granting contents: write and pull-requests: write.
