The token configuration was changed from ${{ secrets.ADMIN_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} to only ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}. This removes the fallback to ADMIN_TOKEN which may be intentional, but could impact functionality if ADMIN_TOKEN was required for specific permissions that GITHUB_TOKEN lacks.

Similar to line 130, the token configuration was changed from ${{ secrets.ADMIN_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} to only ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}. This removes the ADMIN_TOKEN fallback which may have been necessary for certain repository operations.
