Document which read-only PR diagnostics work with GITHUB_TOKEN (contents: read + attestations: read for the pinned install) versus which require a GitHub App installation token with Administration: read (squabble fetch / verify-satisfied), and that squabble diagnose needs no token at all.

The v0.1.0 release (signed tag dda8fcc -> commit b854d17, matching install.sh's SQUABBLE_SOURCE_DIGEST) is already published and immutable; its SLSA provenance attests squabble-x86_64-linux-musl sha256 6cbeb457... built by release.yml on a GitHub-hosted runner.

Consumers (e.g. secret-types) wire the action in by pinning to a full merged-main commit SHA (never @main or @v0.1.0); the binary stays independently pinned by sha256 + build-provenance attestation inside install.sh, and the contract suite requires all 27 planned cases so no gate can pass silently.

Closes: none — documentation only.

… v0.1.0 release

Document which read-only PR diagnostics work with GITHUB_TOKEN
(contents: read + attestations: read for the pinned install) versus
which require a GitHub App installation token with Administration:read
(squabble fetch's base-branch ruleset read, squabble verify-satisfied),
and that squabble diagnose needs no token at all. Consumers such as
secret-types wire the action in by pinning a full merged-main commit SHA
(never @main or @v0.1.0); the binary stays pinned by sha256 plus the
build-provenance attestation in install.sh, and the contract suite
requires all 27 planned cases so no gate can pass silently.

The v0.1.0 release itself (signed tag dda8fcc -> commit b854d17, matching
install.sh's SQUABBLE_SOURCE_DIGEST) is already published and immutable
(Immutable-Tags ruleset; push is up-to-date), with SLSA provenance
attesting squabble-x86_64-linux-musl sha256 6cbeb457... built by
release.yml on a GitHub-hosted runner; squabble-action.yml (contract
tests + install/run on a real runner) concluded success on this commit.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified the permissions required for installation, local diagnostics, pull request gate diagnostics and verify-satisfied.
    • Documented when fetch may need Administration access and recommended using a GitHub App installation token with verify-satisfied.
    • Added guidance on workflow permissions and test checks, and on pinning the action to a full commit SHA and the binary to its digest and attested provenance.

The README adds guidance on permissions for action modes, workflow checks, pinning the action to a full commit SHA, and verifying the binary’s digest and attestation.

Changes: Squabble action security documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Permissions and workflow checks
.github/actions/squabble/README.adoc
The README distinguishes permissions for installation, local diagnose, PR fetch and verify-satisfied. It also describes workflow permissions and checks.
Action and binary verification
.github/actions/squabble/README.adoc
The README documents pinning the action to a full commit SHA and the binary’s digest and attestation constraints.

Document the App installation token for squabble fetch.

The surrounding caveat correctly states that GITHUB_TOKEN cannot perform the branch-rules read, but the token column still presents it as the token for fetch. The fetch path always reads branch rules and classic protection, so it can fail with a 403 before it returns a diagnostic. Identify a GitHub App installation token for fetch, and update the token input description to cover both commands.

Suggested documentation update
-| GITHUB_TOKEN, but the ruleset read is an Administration surface
+| GitHub App installation token
-      description: "GH_TOKEN for squabble itself in run mode. verify-satisfied needs Administration:read, which github.token cannot hold, so pass an App token for it. Installing always uses github.token.",
+      description: "GH_TOKEN for squabble itself in run mode. fetch and verify-satisfied need Administration:read, which github.token cannot hold, so pass an App token for either. Installing always uses github.token.",
