Research direction

Start with the GitHub Actions workflow that runs super-linter and review its permissions against the suggested actions, checks, and statuses settings. Reproduce the 403 during a pull request, then verify that super-linter no longer emits the noisy GitHub API error while genuine linting errors remain visible.
