Workflow Failure
Workflow: Nightly Workflow Upgrader
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-mcpg/actions/runs/31406794220
Warning
Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
-
Cannot install/use the
gh awCLI extension required to rungh aw version,gh aw upgrade, andgh aw compile. The extension install fails with a 403 Forbidden downloading the release asset, andghitself is unauthenticated in this sandbox (GH_TOKEN not set), so extension install/auth cannot be worked around.Commands run:
-
gh --version→ gh version 2.96.0 -
gh aw version→ "failed to install extension: failed to download asset linux-amd64: ... Forbidden" -
gh extension list→ "To use GitHub CLI in a GitHub Actions workflow, set the GH_TOKEN environment variable."
Without a working gh aw extension, I cannot check the current/latest gh-aw version, run gh aw upgrade, or recompile workflows as required by the nightly-workflow-compiler task. No file changes were made since the mission could not begin.
This is a structured incompletion signal (report_incomplete), not a real task outcome. Any other safe outputs emitted alongside this signal (e.g., comments) describe the failure state, not a completed review or action.
