build(release): 3.1.0 [skip ci]

# [3.1.0](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/compare/v3.0.0...v3.1.0) (2026-04-11)

### Bug Fixes

* **deps:** bump p-retry from 7.1.1 to 8.0.0 ([#357](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/issues/357)) ([3bbe07d](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/commit/3bbe07d928e2d6c30bf3e37c6b89edbc4045facf))

### Features

* add `client-id` input and deprecate `app-id` ([#353](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/issues/353)) ([e6bd4e6](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/commit/e6bd4e6970172bed9fe138b2eaf4cbffa4cca8f9))
* update permission inputs ([#358](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/issues/358)) ([076e948](https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/commit/076e9480ca6e9633bff412d05eff0fc2f1e7d2be))
