[AW Top 10] 03 Fix agent assignment Bad credentials failures #67374

Description

@github-actions

Priority 3/10 | 2 source issues | Impact 3/5 | Confidence 4/5 | Effort 1/5

One assignment, one coherent fix

Issue Monster and LintMonster fail to assign the Copilot agent because the assignment token is rejected with bad credentials.

Implementation scope

Verify the token used for Copilot assignment, switch to the documented personal token secret, and add a preflight check that reports an actionable error before assignment is attempted.

Done when

  • Issue Monster assigns the Copilot agent successfully in a run.
  • A preflight failure names the missing or unsuitable token and the documented remedy.

Why now

Both failures show the same Bad credentials response from the assignment API, which blocks the automated backlog pipeline; the cause is likely configuration, so effort is small.

AW source issues and corroborating reports

No corroborating AW discussion; evidence comes from the source issues.

Unchanged AW sources close only after this summary is completed. Newer source activity and not-planned retirement do not trigger source closure. Assigned summaries are frozen; unassign to allow reclustering.
