Description

Our repo is a private repo, and it starts to have this error from this morning:

remote: Repository not found.

for any workflow triggered by workflow_dispatch or push.

actions by pull_request work as normal.

and this error appears on both self-hosted runner and normal runners.

it is strange that this only happens on recent commits, if I re-run actions which was executed successfully, there is no issue at all.

Not sure if this is a problem with github or checkout.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by comparing recent push and workflow_dispatch runs with pull_request runs and successful reruns, on both self-hosted and hosted runners. Done means determining whether the checkout failure is reproducible and identifying whether it belongs to the action or GitHub.
