ci(codeql): grant actions: read in the reusable CodeQL workflow - #69
Merged
Conversation
codeql-action/analyze fingerprints SARIF via GET /actions/runs/{id},
which requires actions: read. Public-repo callers stay green without it
(the read falls back to public visibility), but any private-repo caller
403s at the fingerprint step and the job ends "configuration error" —
observed on forkwright/arche run 33689539168 and forkwright/hestia run
33640480803 with standalone copies of this shape. Granting it here makes
the template correct for private repos the day Advanced Security is
purchased, and removes a silent reliance on public-data fallback for the
public ones.

Summary
Add
actions: readto both job permission blocks in the reusable CodeQL workflow (workflow_call).Why
codeql-action/analyzepost-processes SARIF by adding fingerprints, which callsGET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}. That endpoint requiresactions: read; the jobs currently grant onlysecurity-events: write+contents: read, so the token'sactionspermission isnone.Resource not accessible by integration) and the job endsCodeQL job status was configuration error— observed 2026-09-02 on forkwright/arche (run 33689539168) and forkwright/hestia (run 33640480803), which carried standalone copies of this workflow.Private repos additionally need GitHub Advanced Security for the SARIF upload itself (currently unpurchased — 422 on enablement), so this grant alone doesn't make private-repo CodeQL viable; it makes the template correct for the day GHAS exists, and stops the public-repo path from silently depending on public-data fallback.
