Avoid gh /meta probe in firewall issue dispatcher

[Copilot]

The firewall issue dispatcher was still instructing agents to prefetch upstream awf issues with gh api graphql. On DIFC-proxied runners that fails on the CLI’s startup /meta probe, preventing the workflow from generating the tracking issue summary and proposed solution.

• Prompt fetch path

  • Replaced the prompt’s gh api graphql example with direct curl calls to GITHUB_API_URL
  • Fetches the candidate issue list from search/issues, then hydrates each issue’s first 10 comments from the REST issue comments endpoint
  • Keeps the resulting JSON shape aligned with the existing prompt expectations (number, title, body, url, comments.nodes)

• Proxy-safe auth handling

  • Uses the existing cross-repo token already present in the workflow environment
  • Avoids gh entirely for the prefetch step, so the workflow no longer depends on /meta being reachable

• Compiled workflow sync

  • Regenerated the dispatcher lock file to keep the compiled workflow aligned with the source markdown

Example of the new prefetch pattern:

SEARCH_API="${GITHUB_API_URL%/}/search/issues"
ISSUES_API="${GITHUB_API_URL%/}/repos/github/gh-aw/issues"

curl -fsSL --get \
  -H "${AUTH_HEADER_NAME}: ${AUTH_HEADER_VALUE}" \
  --data-urlencode 'q=repo:github/gh-aw is:issue is:open label:awf' \
  "$SEARCH_API" \
  | jq -rc '.items[]' \
  | while IFS= read -r issue; do
      number=$(jq -r '.number' <<<"$issue")
      comments=$(curl -fsSL "${ISSUES_API}/${number}/comments?per_page=10" | jq '[.[] | {author: {login: .user.login}, body}]')
      jq -n --argjson issue "$issue" --argjson comments "$comments" '{ ... }'
    done \
  | jq -s '.'

Pull request overview

Updates the firewall issue dispatcher prompt to avoid using the gh CLI for issue prefetching (which can fail due to the CLI’s startup /meta probe on DIFC-proxied runners), and keeps the compiled lock workflow in sync with the source markdown.

Changes:

• Replaced the prompt’s gh api graphql example with REST curl calls to GITHUB_API_URL (search issues + hydrate first 10 comments).
• Preserved the JSON shape expected by the prompt (number, title, body, url, comments.nodes) while avoiding gh.
• Regenerated the compiled .lock.yml workflow to reflect the updated markdown prompt.
