Research direction
Start by reproducing the Repository access behavior with a fine-grained personal access token and a public repository, then trace the GitHub issue-creation integration. Done means confirming whether public repositories can be selected and used successfully, or documenting the supported access configuration if this is a GitHub limitation.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
When defining the Repository access, I think you can't pick "Public repositories".
Trying to debug this, AI gave me:
The likely root cause: your fine-grained PAT is read-only for public repos when set to “All repositories”
Look closely at your PAT screen:
“All repositories … Also includes public repositories (read-only).”
Your repo mgifford/whisper-slides is public. If GitHub is treating “All repositories” as “read/write for private you own, but public read-only”, then the token will fail exactly where you fail: POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues returns “Resource not accessible by personal access token”.
This matches your error.
ChatGPT recommended that I use Repository access: Only select repositories - and this worked.
