The
curl -fsSL https://luca.tools/install.sh | bashstep was making unauthenticated requests to the GitHub API to resolve the latest Luca release. GitHub Actions runners share IP addresses across many concurrent workflows, causing the unauthenticated rate limit (60 requests/hour per IP) to be exhausted frequently — resulting in intermittent 403 errors and requiring multiple workflow re-runs to get a green build.The fix is to pass the built-in github.token as GITHUB_TOKEN to the install step. See LucaTools/LucaScripts#6.
The install script picks this up automatically when making GitHub API calls, raising the effective rate limit to 1,000 requests/hour per token. No secrets configuration or extra permissions are required — github.token is available in all GitHub Actions workflows by default.
