Description

When syncing a GitHub repo, the user will retrieve a list of repositories that they read-only access to. Because a web-hook has to be created to configure a web app to a GitHub repo, this will fail unless the user has write access.

Research direction

Locate the GitHub repository-sync API request entry point and trace how read-only repositories are handled before webhook creation. Reproduce the sync with a repository the user can read but not write, then confirm the request headers or flow allow the intended repository list while making the webhook permission failure explicit.
