[workflow-patrol] Workflow drift detected: missing trigger callers for 10 workflow_call workflows #398

Findings

1. Ten workflow_call workflow sources have no matching dogfood trigger workflow

Why this is drift

• In .github/workflows/gh-aw-*.md, all 45 sources use on.workflow_call.
• 35/45 (77.8%) have a matching .github/workflows/trigger-(name).yml caller, so this exceeds the 75% threshold.
• The outliers still have consumer examples (gh-agent-workflows/(name)/example.yml) and README entries, which makes the missing trigger callers look like structural drift rather than intentional internal-only design.

Workflows missing trigger callers

• .github/workflows/gh-aw-docs-patrol-external.md
• .github/workflows/gh-aw-flaky-test-investigator.md
• .github/workflows/gh-aw-issue-fixer.md
• .github/workflows/gh-aw-mention-in-issue-no-sandbox.md
• .github/workflows/gh-aw-mention-in-pr-no-sandbox.md
• .github/workflows/gh-aw-newbie-contributor-patrol-external.md
• .github/workflows/gh-aw-performance-profiler.md
• .github/workflows/gh-aw-release-update.md
• .github/workflows/gh-aw-scheduled-audit.md
• .github/workflows/gh-aw-scheduled-fix.md

Majority pattern examples (trigger present)

• .github/workflows/trigger-duplicate-issue-detector.yml:16 uses ./.github/workflows/gh-aw-duplicate-issue-detector.lock.yml
• .github/workflows/trigger-pr-review.yml exists and follows the same trigger-(name).yml convention
• .github/workflows/trigger-agent-suggestions.yml exists and follows the same convention

Not already tracked

• Checked open [workflow-patrol] issues; only [workflow-patrol] Workflow drift detected: missing frontmatter name in 9 gh-aw workflow sources #388 is open and it tracks missing frontmatter name, not trigger-caller drift.

Suggested Actions

• Add trigger-(name).yml callers for each of the 10 workflows above (or explicitly document exempt workflows if intentional).
• Regenerate any generated workflow artifacts (dogfood/compiled outputs) using the repository’s normal compile flow.
• Add a guard/check that verifies every public gh-aw-*.md workflow_call source has a corresponding trigger-*.yml file.
