The stale workflow was failing due to insufficient permissions for the reusable workflow at
cpp-linter/.github/.github/workflows/stale.yml@main.Error:
Root Cause:
The calling workflow only provided
issues: writepermission at the workflow level, but the reusable workflow's job requirescontents: readandpull-requests: writepermissions that weren't being inherited.Solution:
Following security best practices with the principle of least privilege:
permissions: {})contents: read- Required by the reusable workflowissues: write- Maintained existing functionalitypull-requests: write- Added missing permission that was causing the failureThis change ensures the reusable workflow has the necessary permissions while maintaining security through job-level permission scoping.
Fixes #128.
