feat(download): send JACTIONLINT_TOKEN with the release download - #342
GitHub throttles anonymous downloads, and then the action fails.
When JACTIONLINT_TOKEN is set, download-jactionlint.bash sends it with the download request. The action gives it the "token" input, which is github.token by default. Without the variable, the script downloads without credentials, as before.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Downloads can use an optional token for authenticated requests, which receive a higher download-service rate limit.
The action’s token input is also used for downloads and is not passed to jactionlint when online checks are disabled.
Bug Fixes
Download failures now report the HTTP status, with a specific message for missing releases.
Documentation
Updated guidance on download options, token use, and the release workflow’s download check.
GitHub throttles anonymous downloads, and then the action fails.
When JACTIONLINT_TOKEN is set, download-jactionlint.bash sends it with
the download request. The action gives it the "token" input, which is
github.token by default. Without the variable, the script downloads
without credentials, as before.
The action now passes its token to the jactionlint download script. The script uses a Bearer authorization header when the token is set and reports HTTP status details for download failures. Documentation and tests describe and check token use.
Changes: jactionlint download authentication
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Token input and environment wiring action.yml, scripts/download-jactionlint.bash, docs/install.md
The action passes its token as JACTIONLINT_TOKEN. The script reads this optional environment variable, and the input documentation describes its use for downloads.
Download requests and validation scripts/download-jactionlint.bash, scripts/test-download-jactionlint.bash, .github/workflows/download.yaml, scripts/README.md
The script adds a Bearer header when the token is set. It handles 404 responses with release guidance and reports HTTP status for other curl failures. Tests check authenticated and unauthenticated requests, and the release workflow supplies a token to the test step.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 85b8b
The change is mergeable with bounded follow-up: authenticated downloads should require a patched curl version, and download-error and test diagnostics need minor corrections. Modern patched curl versions avoid the identified redirect exposure.

Explanation
The title "feat(download): send JACTIONLINT_TOKEN with the release download" names the main change. The changeset makes scripts/download-jactionlint.bash send JACTIONLINT_TOKEN as a Bearer header to curl when the variable is set. The action passes its token input to the script, and the docs and tests cover the same behavior. The title is specific, short, and accurate, and it does not describe anything absent from the changeset.

The download test does not set a token or inspect the request header. A missing -H argument could therefore pass the public-release checks. Add a test that sets JACTIONLINT_TOKEN and verifies the header received by a mocked curl.

Require a safe curl version for authenticated downloads.
With curl 7.55.0–7.57.0, a release redirect can send the GitHub token to the release-asset host. Require curl 7.58.0 or later for authenticated downloads, or follow redirects without forwarding the token.

If curl cannot connect, it can return 000 without receiving an HTTP response. The message then reports a nonexistent HTTP status, which can complicate diagnosis. Curl already prints the connection error to stderr.

The native curl.exe of Git Bash on Windows cannot open the /dev/fd path
of a process substitution, so -H @<(...) broke the download with a
token. The action uses a token by default, so this broke the action on
Windows. Now printf sends the header to curl on stdin (-H @-). The token
stays off the command line.
The test script now checks with a mock curl that the header goes on
stdin and the token is not a curl argument. When GITHUB_TOKEN is set,
it also downloads with the token through the real curl. The workflow
sets GITHUB_TOKEN, so this runs on Windows too.

If the second invocation fails before curl, the test reads the first invocation’s records and incorrectly reports that curl received a header without a token. Clear the records before the second invocation and report its output if curl was not reached.
