Disable failure-as-issue reporting for adhoc-qa workflow#8734
Merged
Conversation
The adhoc-qa workflow has been creating spurious tracking issues (e.g. #8703) when the copilot engine terminates unexpectedly mid-run. These are environment/engine failures with no actionable code change for the repository, so add `report-failure-as-issue: false` to the workflow's `safe-outputs` block to stop the auto-filed issues.

Pull request overview
Disables auto-filing “workflow failure” tracking issues for the adhoc-qa agentic workflow by setting safe-outputs.report-failure-as-issue: false and regenerating the compiled lock workflow so the runtime environment flips GH_AW_FAILURE_REPORT_AS_ISSUE to "false".
Changes:
- Add
report-failure-as-issue: falseto the workflow frontmattersafe-outputsblock. - Regenerate
adhoc-qa.lock.ymlso the compiled workflow reflects the updated safe-outputs setting (includingGH_AW_FAILURE_REPORT_AS_ISSUE: "false").

Expert Review — PR #8734: Disable failure-as-issue reporting for adhoc-qa workflow
Reviewed against all 21 dimensions. No issues found.
Summary
The change is minimal and correct:
adhoc-qa.md:report-failure-as-issue: falseis added at the correct indentation level (top-levelsafe-outputskey, not nested undernoop). The YAML structure is well-formed.adhoc-qa.lock.yml:GH_AW_FAILURE_REPORT_AS_ISSUEflips from"true"to"false"as expected, and thefrontmatter_hashis updated to reflect the source change. The lock file was regenerated viagh aw compile adhoc-qa --strict(v0.76.1, matching the prior compiled version), satisfying the agentic workflow guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.
The intent (suppressing spurious engine-crash issues while preserving all other safety signals) is correctly expressed by the change. No unrelated code was modified. ✅

Fixes #8703.
The
adhoc-qaagentic workflow keeps creating spurious tracking issues (e.g. #8703) when thecopilotengine terminates unexpectedly mid-run while reading shell output. These are environment/engine failures with no actionable code change for this repository, so the auto-filed issues are pure noise.This PR adds
report-failure-as-issue: falseto the workflow'ssafe-outputsblock (as suggested by the tip at the bottom of #8703 itself) and regeneratesadhoc-qa.lock.ymlviagh aw compile adhoc-qa --strict(gh-aw v0.76.1, matching the previously compiled version). The only meaningful runtime change isGH_AW_FAILURE_REPORT_AS_ISSUEflipping from"true"to"false"; the rest of the lock diff is expected heredoc/hash churn.
