…ub App Replace GITHUB_TOKEN (with elevated permissions) with the pr-automation-bot-public app token for all authenticated operations: - Remove workflow-level contents: write + pull-requests: write permissions - Add create-github-app-token step (client-id + private-key from org vars/secrets) - Use app token for gh api, gh pr list, and gh pr create - Update git identity to pr-automation-bot-public[bot] Matches the pattern applied to sync-motoko.yml in #197.
Covers all files changed by the two automated workflows: - sync-motoko: .sources/motoko, .sources/VERSIONS, docs/languages/motoko/* - update-syntax-grammars: syntaxes/*.tmLanguage.json Required by the External PR Ruleset (dfinity/public-workflows check_bot_approved_files.py) which blocked the v1.7.0 Motoko sync PR (#201) with a 404 on this missing file.

Summary
Applies the same bot-token migration from #197 (`sync-motoko`) to the `Update syntax grammars` workflow, and adds the missing `BOT_APPROVED_FILES` policy that was needed for both workflows (the absence of this file caused the External PR Ruleset to block #201).
`update-syntax-grammars` changes:
`.github/repo_policies/BOT_APPROVED_FILES` (new):
After this PR merges, #201 will need a re-run of the `External PR Ruleset` check to pass.
