I don't think we need any of the special abilities of the REALM_CI_PAT for this action. We should be fine with the default GITHUB_TOKEN (docs). One difference is that further github actions cannot be triggered by jobs using the GITHUB_TOKEN, but this is not an issue because the next step in the release process is to approve and manually merge the generated PR.

That's right - if you only work in the same repository and don't need subsequent workflows to trigger for any of the work GITHUB_TOKEN does then I'd say it's the best choice.

3. When ready, merge the PR. You can squash if there are only "prepare release" changes, but use a "merge-commit" strategy if there are functional changes added manually to the PR. On merge, the "make-release" action will run. This takes care of:
- Making a tag
- Publishing the release on Github
- Updating the Changelog
- Making a PR to update the Changelog with the new template section
- Announcing the release in the #appx-releases slack channel

4. Find the freshly generated PR that adds the new changelog section. Approve it and merge it.
