fix: pass GITHUB_TOKEN to checkout in node-pr workflow#121
Conversation
Explicitly passing the GITHUB_TOKEN to the checkout action ensures that it has the necessary permissions for subsequent git operations, such as fetching the full history when persist-credentials is set to false.

Description of the proposed changes
Both "Fetch all commits for Nx" steps in the build and test jobs now have
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}. This provides authentication for the full-history fetch whilepersist-credentials: falsestill ensures the token isn't left in the git config after the step completes.Screenshots (if applicable)

Notes to PR author
Notes to reviewers
Only edge case:
a caller that explicitly sets permissions: {} (stripping all token scopes) — but that would already break the initial actions/checkout step at the top of the job, so it's not a new regression from this change.
