This PR addresses the permission issues encountered when the GitHub Actions workflow tries to create and apply labels to pull requests.

Changes Made:

1. Enhanced workflow permissions

  • Added repository-projects: write permission to the add-files-changed-label.yml workflow to ensure proper access for label management

2. Improved error handling

  • Added more detailed error messages when permission issues are encountered
  • Provided specific guidance in the error output for resolving permission problems

3. Added documentation

  • Created a comprehensive README.md file in the .github directory with:
    • Step-by-step instructions for creating a Personal Access Token (PAT)
    • Detailed permission requirements for the token
    • Explanation of why a custom token might be needed
    • Troubleshooting tips for permission-related issues

4. Security best practices

  • Maintained the workflow's ability to fall back to the default GITHUB_TOKEN if no custom token is provided
  • Ensured specific guidance on required permissions to minimize security risks

The solution provides two complementary approaches to fix the issue:

  1. Updating workflow permissions to cover all necessary access rights
  2. Providing detailed documentation on setting up a custom token with elevated permissions when needed

Fixes #4311.

💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Explain this complex logic.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai explain this code block.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.
