Pull request overview
This PR updates the release workflow to stop using a long-lived GitHub PAT and instead generate a short-lived GitHub App installation token for GoReleaser, aligning the release process with app-based authentication.
Changes:
- Added a “Generate App Token” step using
actions/create-github-app-token@v3. - Switched GoReleaser to use the generated token (
steps.app-token.outputs.token) instead ofsecrets.GH_ACTION_PAT.

- This job currently relies on the repository’s default
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions. Since the release/publish operations are now done via the GitHub App token, it’s safer to explicitly scope the workflowGITHUB_TOKENfor this job to the minimum needed (typicallycontents: readforactions/checkout).
