Notes
The new
on.github-token/on.github-appfields let workflows configure a custom PAT or GitHub App specifically for the activation job (reactions + status comments), independent of the tokens used by the agent job itself. This is useful when the defaultGITHUB_TOKENlacks the permissions to post reactions or comments on the triggering item (e.g., fine-grained PAT scenarios or cross-repo comment flows).Other PRs from this scan (bug fixes, internal refactors, dependency bumps, and already-documented changes) did not require documentation updates.
