fix: resolve "latest" CLI version using the action's own token, not an env var - #852
Conversation
…n env var `resolveLatestTag()` only checked `process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN`/`GH_TOKEN` for authenticating the GitHub API call that resolves `cliVersion: latest`. GitHub Actions does not inject GITHUB_TOKEN into a JS action's process environment automatically - a calling workflow has to set it explicitly via `env:` - and essentially no consumer workflow had reason to do that before this action started making its own API calls. So this was unauthenticated for effectively every consumer, not just ones under unusual load, and the unauthenticated limit (60 req/hour, shared across every job on the runner's IP) is easy to exhaust. Hit live via game-ci/unity-test-runner#328's consumer, whose six-version test matrix failed simultaneously with "GitHub API returned 403" - this action shares the identical resolveLatestTag/downloadCli pattern (copy-pasted, per the original comments referencing each other) and is exposed to the exact same gap. This action had no `githubToken` input at all, unlike unity-test-runner, so there was no way for a consumer to hand it a token even deliberately. Added one, defaulting to `${{ github.token }}` - populated by GitHub Actions on every run with no consumer action needed - and threaded it through downloadCli -> resolveLatestTag, ahead of the env var fallback (kept for the CLI/install.sh path, which has no Action input to read from). 2 new tests, confirmed to catch the regression: removing the parameter threading fails exactly "sends an Authorization header from the githubToken parameter" and "forwards its githubToken parameter to resolveLatestTag", and nothing else in the existing 12.

Addresses a CodeRabbit nitpick on PR #852: the existing tests covered the GITHUB_TOKEN and GH_TOKEN fallback paths individually but not the precedence rule itself (githubToken > GITHUB_TOKEN > GH_TOKEN) when more than one is present at once. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN are not automatically injected into a custom JS action's process environment - a calling workflow has to set them explicitly via env:, which essentially no consumer had reason to do. So resolving cliVersion: latest hit the GitHub API unauthenticated for effectively every consumer, exhausting the shared 60 req/hour rate limit under any real concurrency (e.g. a multi-version test matrix). Confirmed live via a Mirror Networking Actions run and the identical bug already fixed in game-ci/unity-test-runner#332 and game-ci/unity-builder#852. Adds a githubToken input (default: ${{ github.token }}, populated by Actions on every run with no consumer action needed) and threads it through downloadCli -> resolveLatestTag ahead of the env-var fallback.

Same root cause as game-ci/unity-test-runner#332:
resolveLatestTag()only checkedprocess.env.GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKENfor authenticating the GitHub API call that resolvescliVersion: latest. GitHub Actions does not injectGITHUB_TOKENinto a JS action's process environment automatically — a calling workflow has to set it explicitly viaenv:— and essentially no consumer workflow had reason to do that before this action started making its own API calls. So this was unauthenticated for effectively every consumer, not just ones under unusual load.Hit live via a unity-test-runner consumer's six-version test matrix, which failed simultaneously with
GitHub API returned 403. This action shares the identicalresolveLatestTag/downloadClipattern — the original comments in both files reference each other — and is exposed to the exact same gap.The fix
Unlike unity-test-runner, this action had no
githubTokeninput at all, so there was no way for a consumer to hand it a token even deliberately. Added one, defaulting to${{ github.token }}— populated by GitHub Actions on every run with no consumer action needed — and threaded it throughdownloadCli→resolveLatestTag, ahead of the env var fallback (kept for the CLI/install.shpath, which has no Action input to read from).Tests
2 new tests added to the existing suite (not replacing it), confirmed to catch the regression — reverting the parameter threading fails exactly those two and nothing else in the existing 12.
