| # Refreshes .github/star-history/chart.svg from the stargazers API. | |
| # | |
| # DORMANT UNTIL A SECRET IS ADDED. GitHub restricted /stargazers to repo | |
| # admins and collaborators on 2026-06-30, and the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN does | |
| # not satisfy that check — it is a GitHub App installation token and gets | |
| # "403 Resource not accessible by integration" even with permissions: read-all | |
| # (verified 2026-08-11). A user-owned token is the only thing that works. | |
| # | |
| # To enable: | |
| # 1. As a repo admin or collaborator, create a fine-grained PAT with | |
| # read access to this repository. | |
| # 2. Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions -> New repository secret | |
| # Name: STAR_HISTORY_TOKEN | |
| # 3. Nothing else. The job skips itself until that secret exists, so it | |
| # never reports a failure in the meantime. | |
