Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's not really a feature, but I was unable to make the action work with only permissions.pull-requests: read.

I had to add permissions.statuses: write. Indeed, after trying a lot of combinations, I tried permissions: write-all and noticed a new status check added.
I don't know why I seem to be the only one though 🤔 The action runs in a public repo with the Action GITHUB_TOKEN.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add the mention in the docs. I'm willing to open a doc PR if you agree!

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the documentation for configuring the action's GITHUB_TOKEN permissions, then verify where the required statuses: write permission should be documented. Done means the permission requirement is clearly mentioned for users configuring the action.
