Maintainers could assume a package's complete README license section was captured even when the extractor only accepts a license heading and two specific MIT text markers. Removing that broad assurance avoids treating the guide as evidence for unsupported extraction. https://github.com/github/evals-action/blob/6e4c077e92194c7e75663d8d782426841047e887/tooling/license-notices.mjs#L48-L59 Unresolved entries still block public release and require authoritative terms and release-owner disposition. https://github.com/github/evals-action/blob/6e4c077e92194c7e75663d8d782426841047e887/CONTRIBUTING.md#L80-L85 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Review effort: Lite (auto)
Copilot could add the dedicated token input to an existing environment-based setup because the input table calls it required. The native environment builder accepts the explicit alias and rejects combining it with the dedicated input, so describing the input as supported rather than required avoids that mistaken prerequisite. https://github.com/github/evals-action/blob/6e4c077e92194c7e75663d8d782426841047e887/src/native.ts#L56-L70 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

🧠 How this helps Copilot
Copilot could assume that every complete license section in a package README appears in the generated notices. The extractor recognizes a narrower format. Removing the broader assurance helps Copilot avoid relying on unsupported license capture during release preparation.
Copilot could also add the dedicated token input to an existing environment-based authentication setup because the input table calls it required. That combination is rejected. Clarifying that the input supports explicit runs avoids implying it is the only supported route.
