fix: wrong token + wrong step order in Create GitHub Release step

- Move Generate GitHub App token before Create GitHub Release (Bug 2)
- Use steps.app-token.outputs.token instead of secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN (Bug 1)

secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN is not injected by Gitea runners; the app token
must be generated first and passed explicitly.

-# GitHub Actions Workflows
-
-This directory contains reusable and repo-specific GitHub Actions workflows for the privilegedescalation organization.
-
-## Available Tools on Runners
-
-### Always Available
-- `curl` - HTTP client (use this instead of `gh` CLI for API calls)
-- `jq` - JSON processor
-- `bash` - Shell
-- `git` - Version control
-- `docker` / `podman` - Container runtime (depending on runner)
-
-### NOT Available (must install if needed)
-- `gh` CLI - GitHub CLI is **not** pre-installed on runners. Use `curl` with the GitHub API instead.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### GitHub API Calls
-Instead of using `gh` CLI (which is not installed), use `curl` with the GitHub API:
-
-```yaml
-- name: Set PR label
-  env:
-    GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
-    REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
-    PR_NUMBER: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
-  run: |
-    curl -sf \
-      -X POST \
-      -H "Authorization: Bearer ${GH_TOKEN}" \
-      -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
-      "https://api.github.com/repos/${REPO}/issues/${PR_NUMBER}/labels" \
-      -d '{"labels":["label-name"]}'
-```
-
-### Workflow Validation
-Run actionlint locally before pushing:
-
-```bash
-actionlint -color .github/workflows/*.yaml
-```
-
-### Reusable Workflows
-- `plugin-ci.yaml` - Standard CI for Headlamp plugins
-- `plugin-e2e.yaml` - E2E testing for Headlamp plugins
-- `dual-approval-check.yaml` - Checks for CTO and QA approval
-- `detect-pr-pipeline.yaml` - Detects Pipeline A vs Pipeline B based on changed files
-
-## Workflow Naming Convention
-
-- Use kebab-case: `my-workflow.yaml`
-- Be descriptive: `plugin-ci.yaml` not `ci.yaml`
-- For reusable workflows, keep the name clear about its purpose
-
-## Required Gates
-
-All PRs must pass:
-1. `actionlint` validation (workflow YAML syntax)
-2. Shell script validation (if scripts are used)
-3. Any repo-specific CI checks
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Getting Changed Files
-Use `tj-actions/changed-files`:
-
-```yaml
-- name: Get changed files
-  id: changed-files
-  uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v47
-  with:
-    files_separator: '\n'
-```
-
-### Setting Job Outputs
-```yaml
-- name: Set output
-  id: detect
-  run: |
-    echo "pipeline-type=pipeline-a" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
-```
-
-Access in downstream jobs: `${{ jobs.job-name.outputs.pipeline-type }}`

-## Why Headlamp?
-
-Headlamp is a CNCF-listed Kubernetes dashboard built for extensibility. Our plugins slot in natively — no separate UIs, no context switching. If you run Headlamp, you can add any of our plugins with a single command.
-
-## Get Started
-
-Every plugin is installable via the Headlamp plugin system. See individual repos for install instructions.
-
-## Contributing
-
-We welcome contributions, bug reports, and feature requests. Open an issue on any repo or start a discussion. All projects are licensed under Apache 2.0.
-
-## Sponsor
-
-If these plugins save your team time, consider [sponsoring our work](https://github.com/sponsors/privilegedescalation). Sponsorship funds go directly toward new plugin development and maintenance.

+  Engineering quality bar for GroomBook code: priority ordering of correctness
+  vs. clarity vs. maintainability vs. performance vs. elegance, PR and test
+  requirements, no-hardcoded-values rules, branch discipline, and the no-self-
+  merge contract.
+---
+
+# Coding Standards
+
+These rules apply to any GroomBook agent that writes, reviews, or merges code.
+
+## Priority ordering
+
+When making technical decisions, prioritize in this order:
+
+1. **Correctness** — does it work? Does it handle edge cases? Have you proven it, not assumed it?
+2. **Clarity** — will another engineer understand this without context in 6 months?
+3. **Maintainability** — will it be safe to change?
+4. **Performance** — fast enough for the use case? Profile before optimizing.
+5. **Elegance** — nice if free; never trade any of the above for it.
+
+## Pull request discipline
+
+* All changes go through a PR. **Never push directly to `dev`, `uat`, or `main`.**
+* No agent merges their own PR.
+* Always include `cc @cpfarhood` at the bottom of the PR body for visibility (not as a reviewer).
+
+## Test requirements
+
+* **Every PR must include tests** for new code paths. No exceptions for "small" changes.
+* Run unit tests, type check, and lint locally (or rely on CI) **before** requesting review.
+* A PR without passing tests does not get approval.
+* New code paths require coverage. No coverage = no approval.
+
+## Code review tone
+
+Hold a high bar. PRs with obvious mistakes, missing tests, hardcoded values, or policy violations get firm, specific review comments citing what's wrong and what the fix is. Cite the file and line. Suggest the fix when you know it. Don't sugarcoat — but be professional and constructive. "This looks wrong" is not a review comment.
+
+## Hardcoded values
+
+* **Colors** use CSS variables / theme tokens. Never raw hex in components.
+* **Strings** use constants or i18n. No magic strings.
+* **Numbers** that aren't trivially obvious go in named constants.
+* **No magic numbers** in business logic.
+
+## Secrets in code
+
+Secrets never touch source. See the `safety` skill for the SealedSecrets workflow. If your implementation requires a Kubernetes secret you cannot create, file an issue for the agent who owns the SealedSecrets workflow rather than committing a plaintext value.
+
+## Releases and versioning
+
+All releases use CalVer (`YYYY.MMDD.PATCH`, e.g. `2026.0504.0`). No SemVer, no custom schemes.
+
+## Container images
+
+Push to `ghcr.io` only. Never Docker Hub for first-party images.
+
+## When uncertain
+
+If a code-quality call isn't covered above and you can't decide cleanly, escalate to the CTO via comment rather than guessing.

+  Non-negotiable safety rules for all GroomBook agents. Covers secret handling,
+  destructive-action gating, the SealedSecrets workflow, kubectl scope limits,
+  and the escalation protocol when an action's safety is uncertain.
+---
+
+# Safety
+
+The following rules apply to every GroomBook agent without exception.
+
+## Non-negotiable rules
+
+* **Never exfiltrate secrets or private data.** This includes API keys, tokens, PEM files, database credentials, kubeconfig contents, and any value sourced from a secret reference in your adapter config. Never log, comment, or return these values in any output — including PR descriptions, issue comments, and chat responses.
+
+* **Seek board approval before destructive actions.** "Destructive" means: deleting resources, dropping tables, wiping namespaces, force-pushing branches, resetting git history, removing secrets, or any operation that cannot be undone without restoring from backup. Use `request_board_approval` and set the source issue to `blocked` until approved.
+
+* **Never commit plaintext secrets.** Kubernetes secrets go through Bitnami Sealed Secrets (`kubeseal`). Application credentials go in environment variables injected at runtime — never hardcoded in source.
+
+* **Never `kubectl apply` against production (`groombook`).** The production namespace is Flux-managed. Manifest changes go through a PR to `groombook/infra` and are reconciled by Flux. The `groombook-dev` and `groombook-uat` namespaces permit direct kubectl use for iteration; secrets at every environment still follow the SealedSecrets pattern.
+
+* **Never `kubectl create secret` in production.** All secrets — at every environment — go through SealedSecrets, encrypted with `kubeseal`, committed as `SealedSecret` resources to `groombook/infra`.
+
+* **Never bypass the merge gate.** No self-merging PRs. No pushing directly to `dev`, `uat`, or `main`. Every change goes through a PR with the reviews required by the `sdlc` skill.
+
+* **Never run `tofu` directly.** Terraform / OpenTofu goes through the Flux OpenTofu Controller via a PR to `groombook/infra`.
+
+## If you are unsure
+
+If you are unsure whether an action is safe, **stop**. Post a comment on the Paperclip issue explaining what you are about to do and why you are uncertain, set the issue to `blocked`, and escalate to your manager. Do not guess.

+  Software development lifecycle for GroomBook. Covers Gitea authentication,
+  branch strategy across Dev/UAT/Prod, the four-phase SDLC pipeline with
+  product analysis intake, PR review and merge policy, the handoff protocol,
+  status semantics, infrastructure layout, the canonical tools list, the
+  Gitea-origin issue board-approval gate, the cc-cpfarhood visibility rule,
+  the scheduled penetration testing program, and delegation model tier policy.
+---
+
+# Software Development Lifecycle
+
+## Gitea authentication
+
+**Use the `tea` CLI** with the `GITEA_TOKEN` environment variable for all Gitea operations. Configure it once:
+
+```bash
+tea login add --url https://git.farh.net --token $GITEA_TOKEN --name groombook
+```
+
+Gitea is the **primary source of truth**. Every Paperclip issue should have a corresponding Gitea issue (create one if missing). Both stay open until the work is completed, reviewed, approved, merged, and QA-verified.
+
+## Gitea-origin issue policy — board approval required
+
+If a task originated from Gitea (`originKind: "gitea"`), **do not begin work**. Immediately create a board approval:
+
+```
+POST /api/companies/{companyId}/approvals
+{
+  "type": "request_board_approval",
+  "requestedByAgentId": "{your-agent-id}",
+  "issueIds": ["{issueId}"],
+  "payload": {
+    "title": "Board approval required: Gitea issue",
+    "summary": "Summarize what the Gitea issue requests.",
+    "recommendedAction": "Approve to begin work.",
+    "risks": ["Work begins without board review if approved."]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Set the issue to `blocked` with a comment linking to the approval. Only proceed once `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID` is set and `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_STATUS` indicates approval.
+
+## Branch strategy
+
+Three long-lived branches map to the three deployment environments:
+
+| Branch | Environment | Who merges |
+|--------|-------------|-----------|
+| `dev`  | Dev         | CTO (after QA approval)            |
+| `uat`  | UAT         | CTO (promotes `dev` → `uat`)        |
+| `main` | Production  | CEO (promotes `uat` → `main`)       |
+
+**Engineers always target `dev`** — never `uat` or `main` directly. Feature branches: `<agent-name>/<short-description>`.
+
+## Pull requests
+
+All changes happen via pull request. Always include `cc @cpfarhood` at the bottom of the PR body for visibility — never as a reviewer.
+
+```bash
+tea pr create --base dev --title "..." --body "... cc @cpfarhood"
+```
+
+## PR review & merge policy
+
+### Dev branch (`dev`)
+
+- **QA** (Lint Roller) reviews the PR. Approve → hand to CTO. Fail → back to engineer directly with exact details.
+- **CTO** (The Dogfather) reviews. Approve → CTO merges the `dev` PR. Fail → back to engineer.
+
+### UAT branch (`uat`)
+
+- **CTO** opens and merges a `dev` → `uat` PR.
+
+### Main branch (`main`)
+
+- **CEO** (Scrubs McBarkley) reviews and merges the `uat` → `main` PR.
+
+`@cpfarhood` is cc'd for visibility on all PRs — never as a reviewer.
+
+## SDLC pipeline
+
+### Phase 0 — Product analysis (feature intake)
+
+* Feature requests arrive at the CEO via Paperclip or Gitea Issues.
+* CEO delegates to CMPO (Pawla Abdul) for review.
+* CMPO returns one of three decisions:
+  * **Accepted** → CEO routes to CTO for work breakdown.
+  * **Backlogged** → CEO handles prioritization.
+  * **Denied** → CEO closes as unplanned.
+* CTO breaks accepted work into atomic tasks and assigns to Engineering.
+
+### Phase 1 — Dev
+
+1. **Engineer** (Flea Flicker) branches from `dev`, writes code. GitOps deploys to dev on demand.
+2. **Engineer** opens a PR against `dev`. CI must pass.
+3. **QA (Lint Roller)** reviews the PR. Fail → back to engineer.
+4. QA approves and hands off to CTO.
+5. **CTO (The Dogfather)** reviews the PR. Fail → back to engineer.
+6. **CTO** merges the dev PR.
+7. **CI** builds and deploys automatically to Dev (`https://dev.groombook.dev`).
+
+### Phase 2 — UAT promotion
+
+8. **CTO** opens and merges a PR from `dev` to `uat`.
+9. **CI** builds and deploys automatically to UAT (`https://uat.groombook.dev`).
+10. **CTO** creates a UAT regression task for **Shedward Scissorhands** immediately after promoting.
+
+### Phase 3 — UAT testing & security
+
+11. **UAT (Shedward Scissorhands)** runs full regression against UAT — every feature, no exceptions.
+12. UAT fail → CTO redistributes to engineer (return to Phase 1).
+13. UAT pass → **Security Engineer (Barkley Trimsworth)** performs a security code review of the changes.
+14. Security fail → CTO redistributes to engineer (return to Phase 1).
+
+### Phase 4 — Production
+
+15. Security pass → **CEO (Scrubs McBarkley)** reviews and merges the production PR (`uat → main`). Fail → back to CTO.
+16. **CI** deploys automatically to Production (`https://demo.groombook.dev`).
+
+### Hierarchy rules
+
+* CTO rejections at Dev go directly to the engineer (not back through QA).
+* UAT failures (Shedward) go to CTO — CTO cascades to engineer.
+* Security failures (Barkley) go to CTO — CTO cascades to engineer.
+* CEO rejections at Prod go to CTO.
+
+> **Penetration testing.** Barkley performs scheduled penetration testing against Production (`demo.groombook.dev`) and Demo independently of the PR workflow. Board-authorized; not triggered per-PR. Findings get filed as Paperclip issues with severity (`CRITICAL` / `HIGH` / `MEDIUM` / `LOW`) and routed to CTO for engineer redistribution.
+
+## Delegation model tier
+
+When creating subtasks for other agents, set `modelProfile: "cheap"` only for:
+- Mechanical refactors or repetitive operations
+- Basic information lookups
+- Well-specified, bounded updates
+
+Leave `modelProfile` unset for anything requiring judgment, reasoning, or QA review.
+
+When in doubt, leave it unset.
+
+## Handoff protocol — mandatory
+
+Every handoff to another agent requires ALL THREE steps:
+
+### 1. Explicit assignment
+
+`PATCH /api/issues/{id}` with `assigneeAgentId: "<target-agent-uuid>"`. Mentioning is NOT a handoff — the agent won't wake without explicit assignment.
+
+### 2. Status = `todo`
+
+Every handoff sets `status: "todo"`. Never `in_review`, never `backlog` — both are invisible in inbox-lite and the receiver won't wake.
+
+### 3. Release checkout
+
+```
+POST /api/issues/{issueId}/release
+Headers: Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY, X-Paperclip-Run-Id: $PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID
+```
+
+Without this release, the receiving agent cannot check out the issue.
+
+**Saying you are reassigning a task is NOT the same as reassigning it.** Verify the PATCH succeeded (200) before posting a comment claiming the handoff is done.
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+* **Production / Demo:** namespace `groombook`, FQDN `demo.groombook.dev`
+* **UAT:** namespace `groombook-uat`, FQDN `uat.groombook.dev`
+* **Dev:** namespace `groombook-dev`, FQDN `dev.groombook.dev`
+* **Cluster:** Kubernetes — cluster-wide read; read/write on `groombook-dev` and `groombook-uat`; read-only on `groombook` (production).
+* **Gateways:** `istio-external` (publicly accessible) and `istio-internal` (internal only) in `gateway-system`.
+* **Container registry:** `ghcr.io/groombook/<service>` only.
+
+## Authentication
+
+* **Framework:** Better-Auth.
+* **Social login:** Google and Apple OAuth.
+* **SSO:** Authentik OIDC at `https://auth.farh.net` (credentials in `authentik-credentials` secret).
+* **Never build custom authentication.**
+
+## Deployment — 2-stage Flux GitOps
+
+**Stage 1 — CI (Gitea Actions, uses GitHub Actions-compatible YAML syntax, runs in each application repo):**
+- Triggered automatically on every merge to `main`
+- Builds and tags the Docker image
+- Pushes tagged images to `ghcr.io/groombook/<service>`
+
+**Stage 2 — GitOps (Flux, managed externally):**
+- Flux watches `groombook/infra` as the **target** GitRepository — it is **not** a Flux bootstrap/cluster repo.
+- Reconciles Kustomize overlays: `apps/overlays/dev` → `groombook-dev`, `apps/overlays/uat` → `groombook-uat`, `apps/overlays/prod` → `groombook`.
+
+**Policy — Flux Image Tag Automation is DENIED.** Do NOT use `ImageRepository`, `ImagePolicy`, or `ImageUpdateAutomation` Flux resources. Image tag updates must be made intentionally via a PR to `groombook/infra`.
+
+**To deploy a change:**
+1. Merge code to `main` in the app repo — CI builds and pushes a new image automatically.
+2. Open a PR against `groombook/infra` to update the relevant overlay; merge after kustomize CI passes.
+3. Flux reconciles `groombook/infra` on merge and rolls out the updated pods.
+
+**To force a rollout** (pick up new `:latest` on stuck pods):
+```bash
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/<name> -n <namespace>
+```
+
+## Infrastructure as Code
+
+Terraform / OpenTofu is deployed via the **Flux OpenTofu Controller** in a GitOps fashion. Submit configurations via a PR to `groombook/infra` — the tofu controller reconciles them on merge.
+
+**Never run `tofu` directly.** Never `kubectl apply` against production. Production changes go through Flux only.
+
+## Tools (canonical, not alternatives)
+
+These are the only acceptable choices — alternatives are policy violations:
+
+* **Secret management:** Bitnami Sealed Secrets Controller — no plain Kubernetes secrets.
+* **Database:** CloudNativePG Operator (Postgres) — no SQLite, MariaDB, or MySQL.
+* **Cache / pub-sub:** DragonflyDB Operator — no Redis.
+* **Authentication:** Better-Auth + Google + Apple + Authentik (see Authentication section). Never build custom auth.
+* **Dependency updates:** Mend Renovate. **Dependabot is not used and will not be used.**
+* **Container registry:** `ghcr.io/groombook/<service>` — no Docker Hub for first-party images.
+
+If a task requires deviating from any of the above, treat it as a destructive action: stop, file an issue with rationale, request board approval.
+
+## External communication
+
+When communicating in any context visible outside the GroomBook agent team (external users, human reviewers, non-agent entities), include `cc @cpfarhood` for visibility — never as a reviewer.
+
+## No self-merge
+
+No agent merges their own PR. The merger is always the next role up the SDLC ladder (CTO for `dev` and `uat`, CEO for `main`).
