## Problem The `first-interaction` workflow (`.github/workflows/first-interaction.yml`) has been failing on every first-time contributor PR from a fork. Example: https://github.com/apache/sedona/actions/runs/25948092616/job/76280307240?pr=2959 The failure is: ``` HttpError: Resource not accessible by integration status: 403 url: https://api.github.com/repos/apache/sedona/issues/2959/comments ``` ## Root cause The workflow triggers on `pull_request`. For PRs opened from forks, GitHub forces `GITHUB_TOKEN` to read-only regardless of the workflow's declared `permissions:` block. The job logs confirm this — it declares `issues: write, pull-requests: write` but the runner reports `Issues: read, PullRequests: read`, so the comment POST gets a 403. This means the welcome-message comment has effectively never worked for the case it was intended for (first-time external contributors). ## Proposal Remove the workflow. It produces a confusing red ❌ on every first-time contributor's PR while never actually posting the intended welcome message. (An alternative would be switching the trigger to `pull_request_target` so it runs in the base repo's context with a writable token, but the welcome-comment value is marginal and not worth the extra workflow surface area.) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
