Pull request overview
This PR migrates the repository’s scheduled/manual “update” workflows away from a personal access token (ACCESS_TOKEN) to a GitHub App installation token, centralizing token creation in a reusable local composite action and updating workflow dependencies accordingly.
Changes:
- Introduces a local composite action (
.github/actions/github-app-token) to generate a GitHub App installation token. - Updates the Spring dependency/support-file/RC test workflows to use the GitHub App token for API calls, checkout auth, and pushing branches/creating PRs.
- Upgrades
actions/checkoutusage in the touched workflows fromv3tov4.
