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 aw CLI extension required to run gh aw version, gh aw upgrade, and gh aw compile. The extension install fails with a 403 Forbidden downloading the release asset, and gh itself 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.
