The release workflow needs to be able to push commits and tags directly to the repo when making a beta release. The default github-actions[bot] identity can't be added to branch protection ruleset bypass lists, so a new Release Bot GitHub App has been created which should facilitate this bypass mechanism.

Pull request overview

This PR enables the Hypercerts Release Bot GitHub App to bypass branch protection rules during the release workflow. The default github-actions[bot] identity cannot be added to branch protection ruleset bypass lists, so this change introduces a GitHub App with appropriate credentials to facilitate automated releases.

Key changes:

  • Add GitHub App token generation step using actions/create-github-app-token@v1 with secrets for app credentials
  • Update checkout action to use the generated app token for authenticated git operations
  • Enable credential persistence to allow subsequent git push operations to bypass branch protection

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
