gh-aw didn't recognize
issue-fieldsas a valid GitHub Actions permission scope, so workflows requesting it would fail validation with an "unknown permission scope" error. This scope is required to read org issue field definitions and values via GITHUB_TOKEN.Changes
pkg/workflow/permissions.go— addsPermissionIssueFields = "issue-fields"constant and includes it inGetAllPermissionScopes(), making it valid for GITHUB_TOKEN, recognized by the scope-name validator, rendered in YAML output, and included inread-all/write-allexpansionsTests — updates four count-based merge assertions and the write-all dangerous-permissions count to reflect the new scope; adds
issue-fieldsto the valid-scope enumeration test and a newValidatePermissionScopeNamescaseDocs (
reference/permissions.md) — listsissue-fieldsalongside other key scopes and adds a dedicated section explaining when it's needed and least-privilege guidance
