Explore GitHub App delivery mode for cross-repo rollouts #24
Description
Summary
Design and prototype a GitHub App mode that can orchestrate patch upgrades across multiple repositories, centralizing configuration and policy enforcement.
Why
Organizations managing many repos need centralized governance. A GitHub App could schedule runs, track policy compliance, and push updates without per-repo workflows.
What needs to happen
- Investigate GitHub App capabilities relative to the current Action.
- Outline architecture for job scheduling, authentication, and repository onboarding.
- Spike on deployment (self-hosted vs. marketplace) and permission scopes.
- Document required API calls and security considerations.
- Deliver a proposal and, if feasible, a minimal prototype.

Acceptance criteria
- Architectural doc detailing the GitHub App approach and trade-offs.
- Identification of blockers or prerequisites for implementation.
- Decision on whether to proceed to full build.
