…en usage and adding documentation.
## Summary
Fixed PR creation failures in GitHub Actions workflows by standardizing token usage to `github.token` and adding clear documentation headers explaining the required repository permission setting.
## Files Changed
### Modified (2 files)
- `.github/workflows/dispatch-erk-queue.yml` - Added documentation header with required repository setting
- `.github/workflows/implement-plan.yml` - Added documentation header and standardized token reference
## Key Changes
- Standardized token usage in `implement-plan.yml` checkout action from `${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` to `${{ github.token }}`
- Added identical documentation headers to both workflow files explaining the required "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" repository setting
- Provided clear error message context in documentation for troubleshooting PR creation failures
## Critical Notes
- GitHub token permission setting must be enabled in repository settings under Actions > General > Workflow permissions for workflows to successfully create pull requests
