🪲 [Fix]: Super-linter can now post PR comment summaries

[Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug)]

Super-linter's inline PR comment summaries now appear when lint errors are found. Previously, the linter detected issues but silently failed to post the summary comment, requiring developers to navigate to the Actions log to see what went wrong.

• Fixes Add pull-requests: write permission to Lint-Repository workflow #307

Fixed: Lint error summaries now visible directly on PRs

When super-linter detects markdown, YAML, or other linting issues, it posts a summary comment on the pull request for quick feedback. This was failing with a 403 error because the Lint-Repository.yml reusable workflow's permissions: block only granted contents: read and statuses: write, omitting the pull-requests: write permission needed by the GitHub Issues API to create comments.

The error looked like this in the Actions log:

[WARN] Failed to call GitHub API: curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 403
[WARN] Failed to create GitHub issue comment
[WARN] Error while posting pull request summary

Lint failures are still correctly reported — only the inline PR comment was missing.

Technical Details

• Added pull-requests: write to the permissions: block in .github/workflows/Lint-Repository.yml.
• When a reusable workflow defines its own permissions: block, it overrides (not inherits) the calling workflow's permissions. The parent workflows (workflow.yml and consumer repos) already grant pull-requests: write, but Lint-Repository.yml was restricting the GITHUB_TOKEN to a narrower scope.
• No other workflows or jobs are affected — the permission is scoped to the lint job only.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes super-linter’s inability to post inline pull request summary comments by expanding the reusable lint workflow’s GITHUB_TOKEN permissions to include PR write access, aligning the reusable workflow’s permissions with what calling workflows already grant.

Changes:

• Added pull-requests: write to .github/workflows/Lint-Repository.yml so super-linter can create PR summary comments when lint errors occur.
