**Why these token scopes?**
- - `api` lets Hacktron post review comments. With Maintainer access, it also
- lets Hacktron create and manage project webhooks and read-only clone
- credentials. These write operations need more than read-only API access.
- - `read_api` covers reading project and merge request information,
- including the diffs Hacktron reviews.
- - `read_user` covers reading the connected account's profile so Hacktron
- can identify the service account during connection.

- three scopes. Token scopes do not raise the account's GitLab project role.
+ - `api`: Post review comments and, with Maintainer access, manage webhooks
+ and clone credentials.
+ - `read_api`: Read project and merge request information, including diffs.
+ - `read_user`: Identify the connected service account.
