Description

Due to security-related changes to how secrets are handled, the PERSONAL_GITHUB_TOKEN token is no longer available for this repository.

It's considered too permissive to use a personal GitHub token for most use cases, so instead the TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN or the native GITHUB_TOKEN should be used/considered.

The changes are most likely relevant in .github/workflows.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all uses of PERSONAL GITHUB TOKEN in the GitHub Actions workflow files under .github/workflows and replace them with TAP GITHUB TOKEN or GITHUB TOKEN as needed. Ensure the token is passed correctly to the actions.
