Add workflows write permission for workflow PRs #400

@sentry-junior

Description

@sentry-junior

PRs that touch .github/workflows/ files fail because the GitHub App token lacks the workflows write permission. This blocks Junior from making PRs that add or update CI workflows.

  • GitHub requires explicit workflows write scope to push commits that modify workflow files
  • Current token permissions don't include this scope
  • Affects any PR that needs to add, update, or remove workflow YAML

Considerations:

  • The workflows permission is sensitive — it grants ability to modify CI/CD pipelines
  • Scope the permission to repos where Junior actively operates, if possible
  • Verify whether the GitHub App manifest or installation-level settings need updating

Action taken on behalf of David Cramer.
