Pull request overview
This PR hardens the “Gardener - Investigate Issue” GitHub Actions workflow and the associated investigating-github-issues skill to be strictly report-only and read-only, reducing the risk of unintended repository modifications during automated investigations.
Changes:
- Reduced workflow
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions from write scopes to read-only. - Removed write-capable Claude tools (edit/write, commit/push/PR creation) from the workflow and skill allowlists.
- Updated the investigation skill and workflow prompt/schema to always return an investigation report and only describe proposed fixes.
