Pull request overview
This PR updates the repo’s composite publishing actions to optionally accept a caller-supplied GitHub token (e.g., a GitHub App installation token) so that gh commands inside the actions can read releases/workflow artifacts cross-repo when the calling repository becomes internal/private.
Changes:
- Added an optional
api-tokeninput to both composite actions. - Updated the
GH_TOKENenvironment variable to preferinputs.api-tokenand fall back togithub.token.

Description
Add optional api token input to action to ensure sufficient permissions to execute when repo is made internal:
The workflow GITHUB_TOKEN is issued for the caller repo context, and inside this composite action that is the token used by gh.
For internal repos, that token usually does not automatically grant cross-repo read of releases and workflow artifacts unless access is explicitly allowed and token scope permits it.
The api token is optional and the composite action will fall back to standard GH token if not passed.
TODO add reference to corresponding PR in internal repo,
Context
SDLC now mandates that repos should be internal/private by default.
