Research direction

Open workshop/side-quest-06-03c-copilot-github-token-ui-only.md and review the three checklist sections identified in the issue. Consolidate or move procedural items so the page contains no more than 10 checkboxes total, while preserving the outcome-oriented checks.

Violations

Checkpoint checklist size limit

Offending text:

  • I can see a newly created PAT in my token list
  • I copied the token value before leaving the page
  • I noted the token expiry date
    ...
  • The secret name is exactly COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN
  • The secret now appears in the repository Actions secrets list
  • I closed the token tab only after confirming the secret was saved
    ...

✅ Checkpoint

  • You generated a new fine-grained PAT and copied it before leaving the token page
  • The token has Copilot requests: Read-only under Account permissions
  • COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN exists in Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
  • copilot-requests: write is not present in the source workflow
  • The agent recompiled and committed the updated lock file
  • You set a reminder to rotate the PAT before the expiry date
  • You understand when to use Method 1 vs Method 2

This page has 13 total checkboxes across all checklists (3 in "Quick check" after Sub-exercise A, 3 in "Quick check" after Sub-exercise B, and 7 in the final Checkpoint), exceeding the documented maximum of 10 checkboxes per page (combined across all checklists).

Suggested fix:
Trim the checklist items to 10 or fewer total. Consider consolidating the two mid-page "Quick check" lists into fewer, higher-value items (e.g., merge "I copied the token value" and "I noted the token expiry date" into one item), or move some procedural items out of checklist form into plain prose, keeping only outcome-oriented items across the page.
