[plan] Grant Bash Execution Permissions to Daily Workflow Updater #14353

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Objective

Fix permission denied errors preventing the Daily Workflow Updater from executing bash commands, specifically gh aw update and action update checks.

Context

From Discussion #14345, the Daily Workflow Updater §21779197565 cannot execute bash commands due to permission restrictions. This prevents the workflow from:

  • Running gh aw update to update workflow files
  • Checking for action updates
  • Performing any bash-based automation

Approach

  1. Review the Daily Workflow Updater workflow configuration
  2. Check if bash tool execution is enabled in frontmatter
  3. Verify required GitHub Actions permissions are granted
  4. Add missing tool permissions in workflow frontmatter:
    tools:
      bash:
        enabled: true
  5. Test workflow can successfully execute bash commands
  6. Verify gh aw update command works correctly

Files to Modify

  • .github/workflows/daily-workflow-updater.md - Add bash tool permissions
  • Possibly .github/workflows/daily-workflow-updater.lock.yml - Will be regenerated

Acceptance Criteria

  • Bash execution permissions added to workflow frontmatter
  • Workflow recompiled with make recompile
  • Test run confirms bash commands execute successfully
  • gh aw update command works without permission errors
  • Action update checks complete successfully
