Summary

  • Fine-grained PATs do not actually support gist API access (despite listing a "Gists" permission in the UI)
  • Correct all docs to specify classic PAT (ghp_ prefix) with gist scope
  • Reverts the incorrect fine-grained guidance added in docs: clarify PAT requirements for gist subscriber store #124
  • Also updates the send-file composite action description

Files changed: README.md, gist.mdx, environment.mdx, getting-started.mdx, send-file/action.yml

Context

noxaudit works (uses a dedicated SUBSCRIBER_GIST_TOKEN classic PAT), while tokencost-dev was broken (reused RELEASE_PLEASE_TOKEN which is fine-grained).

Test plan

  • Verify docs site renders correctly
  • Confirm the admonition note in gist.mdx renders

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Fine-grained PATs do not support gist API access despite listing a
"Gists" permission. Correct all docs to specify classic PAT (ghp_)
with gist scope. Reverts the incorrect fine-grained guidance from #124.
