Are those local or cloud agents? Makes a big difference β local ones push as you via git/PAT/SSH, cloud ones (like Copilot coding agent) push via their GitHub App install + Actions. If local: does plain Which 2 are you running? And what's the exact write error? |

@hksae i've been using Greptile and Coderabbit, but mostly Coderabbit. Permissions were granted in the past and over 300 PRs were involved with the project I'm working on, most of which were actually opened up by the AI agent. There is no actions workflow, I'm building locally just because workflows are new to me and as of right now I have more compatibility success by building locally. The AI agents are assisting in general maintenance for my project. It seems like it's coming down to this for both. GitHub reports these permissions for the current integration: pull: false The GitHub App installation check also fails with: HTTP 401: A JSON web token could not be decoded Therefore, this session cannot push [an] implementation branch or create its pull request. The blocker is the current GitHub integration authentication and write access. After that access is restored, the approved [feature] implementation can be created and opened as a non-empty PR. |

Body
I've been using 2 AI coding agents for the past few weeks. All of a sudden in the past day, both agents are saying that they can't write to my repo, yet there is an extensive track record of them being able to. Am I doing something wrong or just missing something here?
