fix(ci): overlay-promotion-bot pushes/opens PRs with REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN - #1030
Conversation
GitHub does not dispatch pull_request events for refs pushed with the default GITHUB_TOKEN (loop-prevention) — confirmed live: the bot's first real-world run opened PR #1029, which sat at action_required/0 jobs forever, meaning ci.yml never actually ran on it despite the PR description claiming 'CI gates this PR the same as any other'. Use REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN (already granted cross-repo access, used elsewhere for the same class of problem) for the amicode checkout and the push/PR-create steps, so the resulting branch/PR is a real identity and triggers ci.yml normally.

Use a credential authorized for harmoniqs/amicode.
The checkout at line 37 defaults to harmoniqs/amicode, and line 112 pushes to its origin. The repository contract scopes REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN only to harmoniqs/opencode, so the push cannot succeed. GH_TOKEN uses the same PAT for gh pr list and gh pr create; it also needs harmoniqs/amicode access and Pull requests: write. Update the PAT scope or use a separate credential for the amicode checkout, push, and PR operations.

Follow-up to #1025. Live-tested the merged overlay-promotion-bot workflow via manual dispatch and it correctly found real drift (the fork had actually moved to a new, unpromoted commit) and opened #1029. But #1029 has sat at `action_required`/0 jobs since it opened — GitHub does not dispatch `pull_request` events for refs pushed with the default `GITHUB_TOKEN` (a loop-prevention measure), so `ci.yml` never actually runs on the bot's PRs despite the workflow's own PR body claiming otherwise.
Fix: use `REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN` (already an existing secret, already used for the same class of cross-repo/identity problem elsewhere) for the amicode checkout and the push/PR-create steps, so the resulting PR is a real identity and triggers CI normally.
Will re-run the bot after this merges to confirm #1029 (same branch, force-pushed) actually gets CI this time.
