Unclear doc regarding `out` parameter `path`

[drahnr]

I am not sure what this is supposed to be, so far I tried to equal it to the directory name of my task execution, hence dir: x would imply path: x:

path: Required. The path of the repository to reference the pull request.

resources:
- name: pr-firmware
  type: pull-request
  source:
    access_token: ((github-access-token))
    private_key: ((sshkey))
    repo: myorg/myrepo
    base: master
    uri: git@github.com:myorg/myrepo.git


jobs:
  - name: check-pr-firmware
    plan:
    - get: firmware
      resource: pr-firmware
      trigger: true

    - get: container-geared-up

    - task: firmware-builds-check
      image: container-geared-up
      config:
        platform: linux
        inputs:
        - name: firmware
        outputs:
        - name: binary
        run:
          path: zsh
          args:
          - -exec
          - |
            build.sh
          dir: firmware


      on_failure:
        put: pr-firmware // fails
        params:
          path: firmware
          status: failure
          context: compile-test

      on_success:
        put: pr-firmware
        params:
          path: firmware  // fails
          status: success
          context: compile-test

      on_failure:
        put: pr-firmware // fails
        params:
          path: pr-firmware
          status: failure
          context: compile-test

yet I am getting:

Is the repo something the access token has access to write to? It's pretty standard for the GitHub API to return 404 when you don't have access to do something. That way it doesn't expose data.

Seems my second comment got lost. It was exactly that. Still I wasn't aware of the issue and a hint by the resource would be appreciated.
If you differ, feel free to close this issue.
