Pull request overview
This PR updates the spam-issue detection workflow to stop depending on a long-lived automation token and instead use the workflow-issued GITHUB_TOKEN.
Changes:
- Removes the job’s dependency on the
cli-automationenvironment (and its secret token). - Switches
GH_TOKENfromsecrets.AUTOMATION_TOKENto${{ github.token }}. - Adds inline documentation describing the intended minimal
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions for the workflow.

Description
This token used to be used for lots more things and had a lot more privilege than necessary. Think it can just go away in favour of an actions token.
