Comment (by sajith):

 The docs on both CircleCI and !GitHub are confusing and my head hurts from
 trying to figure them out, but my current reading is that we'll need to
 install a "CircleCI !GitHub App" in the tahoe-lafs !GitHub organization.

 https://circleci.com/docs/github-apps-integration/

 It seems that tahoe-lafs was originally configured with an old-fashioned
 "!GitHub OAuth app". That is what the URL
 `https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/tahoe-lafs/<blah-blah-blah>`
 suggests.  If we were using the "CircleCI !GitHub App", that would have
 been `https://app.circleci.com/tahoe-lafs/circleci/<blah-blah-blah>`. With
 that, CircleCI should be able to generate checkout keys, and presumably
 share the public part of those keys with !GitHub.

 I could complain about the useless error message from CircleCI, but that
 would produce nothing useful...

 I have not been keeping up, but it is possible that either !GitHub or
 CircleCI stopped working with the old-fashioned OAuth app. I do not have
 admin permissions on tahoe-lafs GitHub project, so I can't install the
 "CircleCI !GitHub App" there.
