## Title

    Proposed fix: [google-github-actions/auth WIF] Permission denied: 'Failed to generate Google Cloud federated token' (pool admission / attribute condition) vs 'Failed to generate OAuth 2.0 Access Token

## Body

    Recommended action: Use the error text to pick the layer; verify workload_identity_provider is the full provider path with the project NUMBER (not ID, not pool); set permissions id-token: write; map every attribute used in conditions/principals and match GitHub claim capitalization; wait 5 minutes after changes; checkout must come before auth.
    
    Option: Walk the checklist by failing layer [evidence: official_recommended_action]
    Applies when: WIF permission denied
    Steps:
    1. Confirm permissions: id-token: write, contents: read
    2. Fix workload_identity_provider to projects/NUMBER/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/POOL/providers/PROVIDER
    3. If 'federated token' error: compare OIDC claims (OIDC debugger) to attribute conditions/mappings
    4. If 'OAuth 2.0 Access Token' error: fix principalSet binding and roles/iam.workloadIdentityUser on the SA
    5. Wait 5 minutes after IAM edits and retry
    Expected: auth step issues credentials
