Without an explicit `permissions:` block the caller workflow inherits the default scope, which on this repo is `pull-requests: none`. The nested reusable workflow at launchdarkly/gh-actions/.github/workflows/lint-pr-title.yml@main requests `pull-requests: read`, so GitHub rejects the workflow with "is requesting 'pull-requests: read', but is only allowed 'pull-requests: none'". Granting the read permission at the caller is the minimal scope the reusable workflow needs to inspect the PR title.

The reusable workflow at `launchdarkly/gh-actions/.github/workflows/lint-pr-title.yml@main` requests `pull-requests: read`. The caller workflow in this repo (`.github/workflows/lint-pr-title.yml`) has no `permissions:` block, so it inherits the default scope which on this repo is `pull-requests: none`. GitHub rejects every run of the caller with:
The fix is a three-line addition declaring the minimum scope the reusable workflow needs:
```yaml
permissions:
pull-requests: read
```
Test plan
Note
Low Risk
Low risk because it only narrows/sets GitHub Actions permissions for a single workflow and doesn’t affect application runtime behavior.
