Code Review
This pull request updates the name of a GitHub token secret used in the update_generation_config.yaml workflow. The change from CLOUD_JAVA_BOT_TOKEN to CLOUD_JAVA_BOT_GITHUB_TOKEN improves clarity. My review includes a suggestion to further enhance security by using the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN with appropriate permissions, instead of a personal access token, where applicable.

While renaming the secret for clarity is a good step, for enhanced security it's recommended to use the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN instead of a personal access token (PAT) here and for the GH_TOKEN on line 46. The GITHUB_TOKEN is short-lived and its permissions are scoped to the repository, which is more secure than a long-lived PAT.
To make this change, you would need to grant the necessary permissions to the job:
permissions:
contents: write # to push branches
pull-requests: write # to create pull requestsThen you could remove this token input (as actions/checkout defaults to GITHUB_TOKEN) and set GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} on line 46.
If this token needs to perform actions on other repositories, a PAT might be required. But if all actions are within this repository, GITHUB_TOKEN is the preferred approach.
