Description

Currently if "signed commits" are required in branch protection there is no good way to have actions update code using the token provided for use with github actions and the current repository. Seems like github actions should provide a way for changes made by actions@github.com to be signed and show as verified through the interface.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how branch protection requires signed commits and how GitHub Actions tokens are used to update the current repository. Done means changes made by actions@github.com can be signed and shown as verified while satisfying signed-commit protection.
