Summary
A GitHub App token minting change for the release workflow was merged and reverted within the same 7-day lookback window with no visible external security-review artifact referenced in either commit:
Credential-minting changes to release automation are a high-sensitivity surface (they can affect what scope of write access an automated release process holds). Shipping and reverting such a change in the same window, without a documented security sign-off note in either PR, is a control gap even though the outcome (revert) was itself a good rollback-readiness signal.

Remediation action
- Document the reason for the revert (e.g. in a follow-up PR description or changeset) and require an explicit security sign-off note before re-attempting App-token minting for the release workflow.
- Confirm no lingering App token minting configuration remains partially wired after the revert.
SLA urgency: High — before the next attempt to re-introduce this change.
