Persistent "workflow scope" error during push despite correct token permissions

I am encountering a persistent problem when trying to push changes to my repository, julianosoaresdantas/personal-journal-rails. Specifically, I receive a 'workflow scope' error related to my workflow file (.github/workflows/ci.yml) despite having generated a Personal Access Token that I believe includes the necessary permissions.

I am encountering a persistent issue when trying to push changes to my repository, julianosoaresdantas/personal-journal-rails. The operation consistently fails with the following error:

remote: refusing to allow a Personal Access Token to create or update workflow .github/workflows/ci.yml without workflow scope
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/julianosoaresdantas/personal-journal-rails.git'

To resolve this, I have already taken the following steps, believing I have addressed the token scope requirements:

Generated a new Personal Access Token with both the repo scope (which encompasses code and related actions) and the workflow scope (or explicitly setting actions:read/write).

Utilized the token for authentication: I have ensured that this Personal Access Token is being used to authenticate my Git push attempts, including embedding it directly within the remote repository URL.

Verified persistent failure: Despite these measures, the error related to the workflow scope persists with every push attempt that includes the .github/workflows/ci.yml file. This indicates that the token, even with the intended scopes, is not being recognized as having the necessary permissions for workflow updates.

This persistent rejection despite what I believe are correctly configured token scopes suggests a potential issue beyond my local setup or token management. I would greatly appreciate it if the community or GitHub Support could investigate this.

As a new programmer, overcoming these challenges is a significant learning experience, and I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can provide.
