gh-aw v0.89.22 (github/gh-aw#63011) dropped the implicit trust for bot/app actors in the "Checkout PR branch" step: the triggering actor must now have write-or-higher collaborator permission. A GitHub App's bot user can't be a repository collaborator, so the API reports "none" for bootc-bot[bot], and every review run on a PR the bot pushed now fails before the agent starts. The fix agent hits the same once the review agent applies agent/fixme. Changing the workflows' token permissions doesn't help, since the check is on the actor, not the token. v0.89.21 is gh-aw's latest non-prerelease and still trusts Bot senders there. The bump to v0.90.1 in bootc-dev#120 was for Claude Code support of claude-opus-5-5, which needs 2.1.280+, so pin the engine version instead until gh-aw lets allowlisted bots through.

The review agent fails on every PR pushed by bootc-bot[bot] since #120 bumped gh-aw to v0.90.1, e.g. run 36787073334 on #121:
gh-aw v0.89.22 (github/gh-aw#63011) removed the bypass for
sender.type == "Bot"incheckout_pr_branch.cjs, so app actors now need write collaborator permission, which a GitHub App bot can't have. It isn't a token orpermissions:problem. This pins gh-aw back to v0.89.21 (latest non-prerelease, still has the bypass) and pins Claude Code to 2.1.285 inshared/defaults.md, since claude-opus-5-5 needs 2.1.280+ and v0.89.21 bundles 2.1.273.Tested: compiled all five workflows with the gh-aw v0.89.21 release binary, then recompiled the committed result and
git diff --exit-code -- .github/workflows/was clean (the CI drift check). Checked that the pinnedgh-aw-actions/setupSHA (v0.89.21) still has the Bot bypass. The agents themselves haven't run with this yet.Follow-up: gh-aw should trust actors in the workflow's
bots:allowlist (already gated by pre_activation) for PR checkout; until then, don't take the next gh-aw upgrade.The
