Upgrade Assessment

Urgency: Recommended

Relevant Changes

v0.61.2

Bug Fixes

• Missing safe-output handler registry entries (including noop) fixed: release notes state noop could be absent from the safe-outputs handler registry, causing silent failures.
• Why relevant here: this repository uses noop broadly in gh-aw workflows (for example .github/workflows/gh-aw-scheduled-audit.md line 82 and .github/workflows/gh-aw-release-update.md line 74), and many scheduled/reporting workflows require noop as the no-action completion path.

v0.62.2

Breaking Changes (awareness)

• lockdown: true replaced by min-integrity: approved.
• Impact on this repo: no lockdown: usage was found in .github/workflows/gh-aw-*.md, so no immediate workflow edits are required for this change.

v0.62.3 / v0.62.4

New Features / Reliability

• New safe-output capabilities and reliability fixes were added in patch/minor releases, including safer output handling improvements and update-discussion token support.
• These are additive, but upgrading picks up current defaults and fixes.

Repository Evidence

• Pinned version: Makefile line 4 (GH_AW_VERSION := v0.58.3)
• noop declared in workflow frontmatter, e.g.:
  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-scheduled-audit.md:82
  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-release-update.md:74

Upgrade Steps

• Update GH_AW_VERSION in Makefile from v0.58.3 to v0.62.4
• Run make compile and ensure compilation succeeds with 0 errors/warnings
• Review generated lock-file changes under .github/workflows/*.lock.yml
• Validate one scheduled audit workflow run that exercises the noop no-action path
