docs: harden GITHUB_TOKEN permissions in gitStream workflow templates#850
Conversation
Add `permissions: contents: read` to the generated gitStream workflow templates and all inline snippets in the installation + troubleshooting docs. Add a dedicated section explaining the two-token split (workflow GITHUB_TOKEN vs. gitStream App installation token) and why scoping to contents: read does not affect any feature. Covers: - docs/downloads/gitstream.yml - docs/downloads/gitstream-lite.yml - docs/github-installation.md (inline snippets + new section) - docs/troubleshooting.md (dependabot + lite snippets) - tutorials/basic-usage-python-repo/.github/workflows/gitstream.yml - .github/workflows/gitstream.yml (dogfood) Follows https://github.blog/changelog/2021-04-20-github-actions-control-permissions-for-github_token/
