Month: 2025-03. This period focused on security/authentication modernization for automation tooling, CI quality improvements, and pipeline reliability in microsoft/go-infra. Key authentications were consolidated to GitHub App-based credentials, with support for both PATs and GitHub Apps, migration of release commands and tooling to App credentials, and token refresh capabilities to minimize downtime. A pipeline configuration typo fix corrected the reviewer PAT parameter naming to ensure correct PAT usage. CI tooling was upgraded (golangci-lint to v2) with updated workflows and improved error handling to aid maintainability and faster triage.
