Pull request overview
This PR adds GitHub App token generation to the release-please workflow, enabling the release process to use a GitHub App's credentials instead of the default GITHUB_TOKEN. This is commonly done to overcome limitations of the default token, such as the ability to trigger other workflows or bypass branch protection rules.
Key changes:
- Added GitHub App token generation step using
actions/create-github-app-token - Updated
release-please-actionto use the generated token - Pinned both actions to specific SHA commits for security
