GitHub hard-limits GITHUB_TOKEN to read-only for pull_request events from forks, regardless of the permissions block in the workflow. This makes it impossible to post comments from within the verify job itself. The fix splits the concern into two workflows: - verify-generated.yml: runs on pull_request (sandboxed, safe for forks), saves the PR number as an artifact, no write permissions needed. - comment-pr-verification.yml: runs on workflow_run in the base-repo context (write access), downloads the artifact, and posts the comment.
