The 'members: read' permission key added in #586 is not a valid GitHub Actions permission, causing the workflow YAML to fail validation. This broke auto-closing of PRs (#587, #588). The repos.checkCollaborator API works with the default GITHUB_TOKEN repo access — no extra permission is needed. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Problem
PR #586 added
members: readto the workflow permissions block, but this is not a valid GitHub Actions permission key. This causes the workflow YAML to fail validation, completely breaking the redirect automation. PRs #587 and #588 were not auto-closed as a result.Fix
Remove the invalid
members: readpermission. Therepos.checkCollaboratorAPI (Signal 2 in the cascading check) works with the defaultGITHUB_TOKENrepo access — no extra permission key is needed.This is urgent — merge ASAP to restore PR redirect automation.
