-          # Security concerns:
-          #  - Why a custom token instead of GITHUB_TOKEN?
-          #    - The GITHUB_TOKEN only has "readonly" permissions by default.
-          #  - Why not add "permissions: {contents:write}" to this workflow [1]?
-          #    - While this would elevate the GITHUB_TOKEN permissions to what we require, it
-          #      would do it for the entire job (ALL steps), which increases the attack surface unnecessarily.
-          #  - Why is it safer to use the ROCKSBOT_CHISEL_CONTENTS token?
-          #    1. it is limited to this step of the workflow (unlike GITHUB_TOKEN, which is always available)
-          #    2. this particular step only runs when the "event == release"
-          #    3. the step's script doesn't rely on 3rd party actions
-          #    4. the current workflow triggers are all maintainer-driven, except for "pull_request",
-          #       but the latter is designed not to use any secrets during execution from fork-based PRs
-          #        - NOTE: in fact, custom secrets are never passed to fork-based PR workflows, unlike GITHUB_TOKEN
-          #          which is available with "readonly" permissions [2]
-          # - How could this token be compromised?
-          #   - By unintentionally merging a change that allows this step to run unvetted scripts
-          #     (either via a "pull_request_target", use of an insecure 3rd party action, or malicious changes to the
-          #     current script)
