fix(workflow): add PAT token for improved authentication

- Added `token: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}` to `actions/checkout` steps
  to enhance authentication during checkout.
- Added step to set up remote URL using PAT for secure push operations.
- Removed redundant `env` declarations for `GITHUB_TOKEN` in steps
  where it's not necessary anymore.
