Users on older actions/create-github-app-token pins (e.g. v2.2.1) see Warning: Unexpected input(s) 'permission-discussions' when using create-discussion safe outputs with a GitHub App. The action only declared permission-discussions as a valid input starting in v3+.

Changes

  • Comment correction (safe_outputs_app_config.go): Removed the outdated explanation that permission-discussions was an undeclared input forwarded via INPUT_PERMISSION-* env var passthrough. The pinned version (v3.1.1) now formally declares it, so the workaround rationale is no longer accurate.
  • Test comment (safe_outputs_app_test.go): Updated TestSafeOutputsAppTokenDiscussionsPermission to reflect that permission-discussions is a proper declared input in v3+.
  • Changeset: Added patch entry documenting the fix.

Note on max: 1 with create-discussion: The max field is a per-run limit (how many messages are processed in one job execution), not a global cap across runs. Multiple discussions across separate workflow runs is expected. Use close-older-discussions: true to automatically close prior discussions when a new one is created.

…app-token v3+ support

The `permission-discussions` warning was caused by users using an older version
of actions/create-github-app-token (e.g. v2.2.1) which didn't declare it as a
valid input. The action was pinned to v3.1.1 which properly declares
`permission-discussions`, eliminating the "Unexpected input" warning.

Updated the outdated code comments that incorrectly stated `permission-discussions`
was undeclared, and added a changeset documenting the fix.

The changeset text says the actions/create-github-app-token pin "was updated to v3.1.1", but this PR only updates comments and does not change any pin/version. Please reword this to reflect what actually changed in this PR (e.g., that comments/docs were corrected, or that the default pin is already v3.1.1), or include the pin update in the PR if it’s intended to be part of this release note.

Test Classification Details

Test File Classification Issues Detected
TestSafeOutputsAppTokenDiscussionsPermission pkg/workflow/safe_outputs_app_test.go:120 ✅ Design No explicit error path; otherwise solid

Flagged Tests — Requires Review

No tests flagged for mandatory review.


💡 Suggestion: TestSafeOutputsAppTokenDiscussionsPermission

Classification: Design test ✅
What design invariant does this test enforce? It enforces the behavioral contract that when create-discussion safe outputs are configured with a GitHub App, the compiled token-minting step must include permission-discussions: write. This is exactly the regression this PR fixes.
What would break if deleted? A future change to convertPermissionsToAppTokenFields that accidentally removes the permission-discussions field would go undetected — which is precisely the bug this PR resolves.
Suggestion (non-blocking): Consider adding one error-path row: e.g., verify that a workflow configured with safe-outputs but without create-discussion does not emit permission-discussions, ensuring the permission is only added when appropriate.


Language Support

Tests analyzed:

  • 🐹 Go (*_test.go): 1 test — unit (//go:build !integration)
  • 🟨 JavaScript (*.test.cjs, *.test.js): 0 tests

Verdict

Check passed. 0% of new tests are implementation tests (threshold: 30%). The single modified test is a genuine behavioral contract test that directly validates the fix introduced in this PR. The doc-comment update correctly reflects the new understanding that permission-discussions is a declared input in actions/create-github-app-token v3+, removing the "unexpected input" warning.

The score is capped at 70 rather than 100 because the test covers only the happy path (discussions permission is included when configured) without an explicit negative case (e.g., confirming the permission is absent when discussions are not configured).


📖 Understanding Test Classifications

Design Tests (High Value) verify what the system does:

  • Assert on observable outputs, return values, or state changes
  • Cover error paths and boundary conditions
  • Would catch a behavioral regression if deleted
  • Remain valid even after internal refactoring

Implementation Tests (Low Value) verify how the system does it:

  • Assert on internal function calls (mocking internals)
  • Only test the happy path with typical inputs
  • Break during legitimate refactoring even when behavior is correct
  • Give false assurance: they pass even when the system is wrong

Goal: Shift toward tests that describe the system's behavioral contract — the promises it makes to its users and collaborators.
