Research direction

Locate the reusable add-to-project workflow and inspect its actions/add-to-project@v1.0.2 invocation and token inputs. Verify the workflow uses the intended secret handling, then confirm that issue and pull-request events can add items to GitHub Projects for codex-cli, subtitle-manager, gcommon, and ghcommon.

Description

bug enhancement github-actions module:ui priority:medium workflow

Fixed the reusable add-to-project workflow that was failing with 'Input required and not supplied: github-token' error.

Problem

The actions/add-to-project@v1.0.2 action was failing because the github-token input wasn't being properly supplied. The reusable workflow was trying to use inputs.github-token || secrets.gh-token but the input parameter was causing issues.

Solution

  • Removed the confusing github-token input parameter from the reusable workflow
  • Modified the workflow to directly use secrets.gh-token
  • Simplified the token handling to use only the secret

Impact

This fixes the add-to-project automation across all repositories using this reusable workflow:

  • codex-cli
  • subtitle-manager
  • gcommon
  • ghcommon
    The workflows will now successfully add issues and PRs to GitHub Projects automatically.
