Update Script Maintenance Report

Date: 2026-03-04

  • Root cause: automation used broad triggers and had no explicit workflow write permissions.
  • Fixes made: narrowed workflow to schedule + manual dispatch, upgraded action versions, added permissions: contents: write, and preserved commit paths for generated files.
  • Validation: reviewed workflow run sequence and staged-file scope (data, datapackage.json, README.md).
  • Known blockers: none identified in this remediation pass.
