Summary
Auto Author Assignworkflow has been failing on every PR withResource not accessible by integrationwhen calling POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_number}/assignees.issues: write, but the workflow only grantedpull-requests: write. Added the missing scope (minimum-privilege fix; keptpull-requests: writefor forward-compat with future action features like labels/reviewers).Test plan
yq '.permissions' .github/workflows/auto-assign-author.ymlreturns bothpull-requests: writeandissues: write.on:,jobs.assign, and the step'suses/withare unchanged.Auto Author Assign / assignjob is green and the PR author appears under Assignees.
