[deep-report] Handle Copilot assignment permission errors in safe_outputs #16128

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Description

Safe output health reported a failure when attempting to assign @copilot to a newly created issue due to insufficient write permissions (GraphQL replaceActorsForAssignable FORBIDDEN). The core issue creation succeeded, but the workflow failed during the optional assignment step. Implement graceful handling (warn and continue) or add explicit permissions to avoid false failures.

Expected Impact

Prevents workflows from failing after successful issue creation and improves safe_outputs reliability.
