Replace the hardcoded HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN secret in the bump-formula job with a short-lived GitHub PAT minted by Bandwidth/vault-provider-action (OIDC -> Vault, 1h TTL, auto-revoked). Scope follows the repo's BAND SWI durable team via identity-source: repo, so it no longer depends on who cuts the release. Adds a temporary workflow_dispatch job to validate the issued token can reach the tap before the next real release; delete it once proven.
✅ Snyk checks have passed. No issues have been found so far.
💻 Catch issues earlier using the plugins for VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, and Eclipse. |
The formula bump is the terminal release job and failure is cheap and recoverable, so a dedicated pre-validation workflow isn't worth the cleanup overhead.

Public repos don't support the vault provider action. |

What
Swaps the dead
HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKENstatic PAT in thebump-formularelease job for a short-lived GitHub PAT minted byBandwidth/vault-provider-action@v1(export-github-pat: true). The token is issued via OIDC → Vault, lives for one hour, and is auto-revoked at the end of the job.Scope is pinned to the repo's
BAND SWIdurable team viaidentity-source: repo, so the bump no longer depends on which person cut the release.Why
The hardcoded tap PAT no longer works, so the formula bump is currently broken. This removes the static-secret dependency entirely.
After merge
Bandwidth/homebrew-tap.HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKENrepo secret.The bump is the terminal release job, so if the token is misconfigured the release artifacts are still clean — re-run the bump after fixing.
Prereq (satisfied)
BAND SWIownsBandwidth/homebrew-tap, which is what scopes the issued token.
