The GitHub add-on refused classic tokens in the page only, and its
repository list took exact owner/name entries.
A classic token (ghp_) is now an explicit choice of the connection. The
kind declares a token guard: the host refuses a token with that prefix
unless the connection sets the option classicToken to allow, and the
request that turns it on must carry confirm_wider_token. It is checked
when the token is saved and again each time it is used, so switching
the option off stops a stored token. The list and the write mode still
apply. The page shows a warning and two ticks.
The list takes owner/* and *. The host matches them before the add-on
runs, without regard to case and on whole names, so other-owner/x and
owner-evil/x are not covered by acme/*, and a key that holds a star is
never a name. A kind opts in with wildcardResources; only GitHub does,
so the other add-ons keep exact matching. Saving * needs
confirm_any_resource, and the write mode stays separate. A read tool
that declares enumerates (the new list-repos) runs only for a list of *
and asks GitHub which repositories the token reaches.

No release ever shipped add-ons, so there is no installed base on api 1.
The manifest must now declare api {"min": 2, "max": 2}; a manifest with
api 1, no api or a wider range is refused with a message that names the
range.
Every field that was gated on api 2 is now part of the contract, so the
Min*API constants and their gates are gone, and so are HostAPIMin and
the apiMin host field. Three older-manifest shims go with them: the
resource listing the host implied for one add-on, the legacyArgs hint
for arguments an older version of a tool took, and the tests that
checked the gates. All shipped manifests and the test fixtures declare
api 2.

A connection now has a write mode, chosen on the add-on page: off (the
default), propose (each change waits for the person to confirm) or auto
(a chat of the person makes it at once). The host enforces it for every
write tool of an add-on that holds a credential, before the add-on is
called, and holds the call to the repository list of the connection.
Host:
- Binding.WriteMode, stored in both stores and in the connector API
(write_mode). Absent means off, so existing bindings stay read only.
- A credentialed add-on may declare write tools. They name the resource
with the credential slot argument, never resourceId. A tool can set
approval "always", a ceiling that keeps a proposal even in auto.
- The proposal broker fetches the credential for the preview and again
for the apply, so it is never stored. A mode lowered between the
proposal and the confirmation refuses the apply. A proposal that
awaits a person cannot be confirmed by a chat turn.
- New capability name tools.write for the roles a connector kind
declares.
Add-on, tools (kind write): comment-issue, comment-pr, create-issue,
edit-issue (title, close or reopen), add-labels, review-comment-pr.
They preview plain facts, refuse a stale target, cap and screen the
text for secrets, and keep a receipt journal plus a hidden marker in the
text, so a change whose answer was lost is not sent twice.

The previous commit was made on a stale base and so reverted work that
landed on master before it. This commit puts every file back to the
state of its parent's parent. The permission enforcement of the
previous commit stays.

The capabilities, role grants and pairing that a connector binding
stores now decide what a sender can make the agent do.
Authorize is one pure function: the capability must be in the owner's
ceiling for the binding and the sender must be on the allowlist. A
sensitive capability then needs a paired sender; roles never count for
it. Any other capability needs a pairing or a role that the owner
granted and that the kind lists. The default is no.
Each message gets a grant for its sender. A message that joins a
running turn narrows it to what both senders may do. The tool builder
offers a gated tool only for a held capability, and the tool checks
again when the model calls it, so a call that gets through is refused
with the reason. Today this covers propose_change (memory and profile
kinds), revert_change, the trigger tools, and files sent to the bot. A
chat worker gets the grant with the start request.
The capability gate that the trigger features ask is now answered by
Authorize, and the application sets it. Other features can add a
global switch with AddCapabilitySwitch.
Every use records an allow or deny row (time, binding, sender IDs,
roles, capability, result; no text or codes). GET
/api/chats/connectors/{id}/access returns the effective permissions
per kind of sender and the latest rows, for an add-on settings page.
A binding saved before this change has no capabilities, so its senders
lose these features until the owner enables them.

Add the github add-on: manifest with a credential slot, a read-only
tool set (code search, files, trees, issues, pull requests and diffs)
with size caps and untrusted-content framing, rate-limit mapping, a
connector route that checks the token, and a fake GitHub API for tests.

Add a manifest credentials declaration, host-enforced per-binding
resource lists, Request.Credential and ResourceKey set by the host, and
a typed ErrRateLimited that reaches the model as rate_limited.
