Objective

Verify that the Daily Firewall Report workflow has sufficient GitHub token permissions to access workflow runs and artifacts.

Context

The Q workflow investigation (issue #2604) reported:

Permission denied and could not request permission from user

The workflow currently has actions: read and contents: read permissions, but is experiencing permission issues when trying to list workflow runs, download artifacts, and access run metadata.

This issue is part of applying the Daily Firewall Report suggestions from the Q investigation.

Approach

1. Review the current permissions in .github/workflows/daily-firewall-report.md
2. Test if actions: read is sufficient for the required operations
3. Check if additional permissions are needed (e.g., metadata: read)
4. Verify the GitHub token scope is appropriate for the operations

Files to Modify

• .github/workflows/daily-firewall-report.md - Review and potentially update permissions section

Implementation Details

Current permissions (lines 8-10):

permissions:
  contents: read
  actions: read

Investigate whether these permissions are sufficient for:

• list_workflows GitHub API call
• list_workflow_runs GitHub API call
• download_workflow_run_artifact GitHub API call
• gh CLI commands that access workflow data

If additional permissions are needed, add them. If not, investigate why permission errors occurred.

Acceptance Criteria

• Identify root cause of permission denied error
• Update permissions if needed
• Document which permissions are required for each operation
• Run make recompile to regenerate the .lock.yml file if changes made
• Test that the workflow can successfully access workflow runs and artifacts
