Code Review

The pull request modifies the permissions in the bazel-steward.yaml workflow file. The change replaces contents: write with write-all and adds TODO comments for contents: write and pull-requests: write. The description references issue #420, which likely provides context for this change. Overall, the change seems straightforward, but it's important to understand the implications of using write-all and whether the TODOs will be addressed.

Summary of Findings

• Permissions Scope: The use of write-all grants broad permissions. It's crucial to understand the scope of these permissions and whether they are necessary for the Bazel Steward workflow. Consider if more granular permissions would be more appropriate.
• TODO Comments: The TODO comments indicate that contents: write and pull-requests: write might be needed. It's important to understand why these were initially removed and whether they will be re-added in the future. Clarification on the purpose of these TODOs would be beneficial.

Merge Readiness

The pull request introduces a significant change in permissions by using write-all. While the change is small, the implications are potentially large. Before merging, it's crucial to understand the scope of write-all and whether it's the most appropriate solution. The TODO comments also need to be addressed or clarified. I am unable to approve this pull request, and recommend that it not be merged until the above concerns are addressed.

[gemini-code-assist]

Using write-all grants broad permissions to the workflow. Is this level of access truly necessary? It might be more secure and aligned with the principle of least privilege to use more granular permissions if possible. Could you elaborate on why write-all is needed here? Consider if contents: write and pull-requests: write (as indicated in the TODOs) are sufficient, or if other permissions are required. If write-all is indeed necessary, please document the specific reasons why in a comment.

# Consider using more granular permissions if possible, such as:
# contents: write
# pull-requests: write
write-all

[gemini-code-assist]

These TODO comments suggest that contents: write and pull-requests: write might be needed. Can you provide more context on why these were commented out and whether they will be re-added in a future commit? If they are intended to be re-added, it would be helpful to provide a brief explanation of their purpose in the comments.

# TODO contents: write # Add back if needed for ...
# TODO pull-requests: write # Add back if needed for ...
