Code Review
This pull request introduces a helper function _gh_write in scripts/canary-rollout.sh to route GitHub tag write operations through a repo-scoped write token (CANARY_WRITE_TOKEN) when available, falling back to the ambient GH_TOKEN otherwise. This resolves permission issues where owner-wide tokens are refused bypasses on protected channel tags. Corresponding unit tests have been added in tests/canary_rollout.bats to verify the token routing behavior. There are no review comments, and I have no feedback to provide.

Pull request overview
Addresses #745 by ensuring canary promotion tag mutations run with a repo-scoped GitHub App installation token (so protected channel-tag updates honor the release-channel-tags ruleset bypass), while preserving the existing owner-wide App token for fleet-wide read paths (run-history enumeration).
Changes:
- Add
_gh_writewrapper to route only tag-writegh apicalls throughCANARY_WRITE_TOKENwhen present. - Mint and inject a second, repo-scoped App token (
permission-contents: writeon.github+.github-private) into the canary-rollout workflow. - Add bats coverage asserting
_gh_move_tagand_gh_create_annotated_taguse the write token for mutations and fall back toGH_TOKENwhen unset.

@donpetry-bot please review — implements the #745 two-token fix (repo-scoped CANARY_WRITE_TOKEN for _gh_move_tag/_gh_create_annotated_tag, owner-wide token retained for the gate reads). The only red checks are the benign dev-lead/dispatch+ci-relay concurrency cancellations. |

Cascade: triage → audit (triage: haiku 4.5 → deep: opus 4.8 + duck: o4-mini → audit: fable 5)
Summary
PR #746 mints a second, strictly narrower GitHub App installation token (repos: .github + .github-private, Contents:write only) from the same App key and routes only the protected channel-tag PATCH/POST through it, fixing the #745 403. Independently verified: the pinned create-github-app-token SHA is the authentic v3.2.0 tag; triggers are schedule + human-gated dispatch with no expression-injection or pull_request_target surface; the App was already a listed bypass actor on the release-channel-tags ruleset, so no new protection bypass is introduced. All security CI (gitleaks, CodeQL, ShellCheck, Agent Security Scan, SonarCloud) is green and CODEOWNERS/branch protection still requires org-leads human sign-off before merge.
Findings
- info: actions/create-github-app-token@bcd2ba4 independently verified against the upstream repo: it is exactly the v3.2.0 (and v3) tag commit dated 2026-05-12. Pin-with-version-comment matches org ci-standards.
- info: Second token is a scope REDUCTION relative to the existing owner-wide token: same App key (RELEASE_MANAGER_APP_KEY), repositories limited to .github + .github-private, permission-contents: write only. Token flows only via step output -> env (CANARY_WRITE_TOKEN) -> GH_TOKEN for the gh child process; never echoed, and _gh_write error output contains only the API response body, not the credential.
- info: The App (Integration 4193127) is already an always-mode bypass actor on the release-channel-tags ruleset per issue #745; the PR changes the token form GitHub honors for that existing grant rather than adding any new bypass actor or weakening any ruleset.
- minor: CodeRabbit's fallback concern (empty CANARY_WRITE_TOKEN silently retries with the owner-wide token) is effectively moot in CI: a failed 'Mint repo-scoped write token' step fails the job before the engine runs, so the fallback branch is reachable only in tests/local runs, and a real 403 re-fails loudly. An explicit non-empty guard mirroring the first token's verify step would fail marginally faster at the credential boundary. Non-blocking.
- info: Workflow triggers remain schedule + workflow_dispatch (choice/boolean inputs, promote defaults to dry-run); workflow-level permissions are contents: read; the mint step consumes only vars.RELEASE_MANAGER_APP_CLIENT_ID and secrets.RELEASE_MANAGER_APP_KEY with a static repositories list — no untrusted data reaches the credential path.
