The action queries the GitHub API to resolve and download the Task release. Unauthenticated, those requests are rate limited per runner IP, which is shared across all GitHub-hosted runners. When that budget is exhausted the step fails with "API rate limit exceeded for <ip>" a few seconds into the job, failing otherwise healthy pipelines. Pass `repo-token` so the requests are authenticated and get the larger per-token allowance. `check-self.yml` already attempted this, but set `GH_TOKEN` in the step env. The action only reads the `repo-token` input, so it had no effect and that job was unauthenticated too.

This took down the
ClnVersionManager / sourcejob on an unrelated PR, andwill keep doing so at random. Passing
repo-tokenauthenticates the requestsso they get the much larger per-token allowance.
check-self.ymlalready tried to do this, but setGH_TOKENin the step'senv. The action reads only therepo-tokeninput — itsaction.ymldeclares no env fallback — so that had no effect and the job was
unauthenticated too. Switched to the input.
