   Thank you for opening the issue.

   The easiest way to reproduce this is to run gh repo sync <remote> using the token issued by GitHub Actions. Please also refer to terraform-linters/magic-modules#7.

   The build log is as follows:
   https://github.com/terraform-linters/magic-modules/actions/runs/13742985933/job/38434464702

   The build log with GH_DEBUG=api is as follows:
