Conversation
portwing v0.9.7 shipped this snippet as written and the first real cut died on HTTP 403: creating a workflow dispatch is an Actions API write, and contents:write does not imply it. A PAT needs the scope too. Records the tag-push trigger as the other working option, and the evidence that a GITHUB_TOKEN dispatch does create a run, since that was reported as false and it's load-bearing for every cut-dispatched caller in the org.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe workflow documentation now specifies dispatch permissions, failure behavior, token handling, and a tag-trigger alternative. Contract tests enforce these documentation requirements. ChangesStarchart dispatch guidance
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change is mergeable, but the documentation test should also enforce the stated github.token dispatch behavior and permission distinction; otherwise a future edit could silently reintroduce incorrect workflow guidance.

Assert the documented exemption claim.
Line 238 and Line 239 only assert evidence source names. The test can pass if the documentation removes or reverses the conclusion that workflow_dispatch runs can use ${{ github.token }} with actions: write.
Assert the conclusion and the distinction between suppression and a missing scope.

The dispatch snippet in this file's doc comment omitted
actions: write. portwing v0.9.7 shipped it exactly as written and the first real cut failed:Creating a workflow dispatch is an Actions API write.
contents: writedoesn't imply it, so a reader who reasons about permissions from the commit the workflow performs gets it wrong, and a PAT needs the scope as well as the job. This file told three repos to adopt the dispatch step, so the omission is the same shape as the deadrelease:trigger it replaced: correct-looking instructions that fail on first real use. Found by the portwing lane.Also records two things the same report raised.
A
GITHUB_TOKENdispatch does create a run. It was reported as silently succeeding and creating nothing, which would make${{ github.token }}unusable here and would break every cut-dispatched caller in the org. It doesn't hold: portkey-admin-mcp'sauto-tag.ymldispatchesrelease.ymlwith${{ github.token }}andpermissions: {contents: write, actions: write}, and there are fourgithub-actions[bot]-actoredworkflow_dispatchruns on record between 2026-08-04 and 2026-08-10 with real success and failure conclusions. Suppression and a missing scope look alike and aren't: one is fixed by adding the scope, the other can't be fixed. Recorded so nobody rips out a working trigger on the doubt.on: push: tags: ["v*"]is the other working trigger, needing no new scope because the cut already pushes the tag with a PAT so downstream workflows fire. portwing moved to it in #190. Documented with the assertion it needs: the tag trigger present ANDrelease:absent, since the two read as interchangeable and only one runs.Three new contract tests, 90 green. The tag-trigger test flattens the comment before matching rather than asserting a phrase sits on one line, which would pin the line width instead of the claim.
