Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
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
