[instructions] Sync github-agentic-workflows.md with v0.40.1 #21138
Description
Instructions Update - Synchronized with v0.40.1
This PR updates github-agentic-workflows.md based on a code audit against the safe-outputs implementation after the v0.40.1 release.
Changes Made
-
add-comment.footer: Added missingfooterboolean field to theadd-commentexample. The field exists inAddCommentsConfig(pkg/workflow/add_comment.go) and the JSON schema but was absent from the instructions. Whenfalse, omits the visible footer while preserving XML markers for searchability. -
safe-outputs.failure-issue-repo: Added missing globalfailure-issue-repostring field. The field exists inSafeOutputsConfig(pkg/workflow/compiler_types.go) and the JSON schema (with description and pattern) but was not documented. Allows redirecting failure tracking issues to another repository when the current repo has issues disabled.

Validation
- Followed prompting best practices (imperative mood, minimal examples)
- Maintained technical tone and brevity
- Updated only necessary sections
- Verified accuracy against current codebase (
compiler_types.go,add_comment.go,main_workflow_schema.json) - Removed outdated or redundant content (none needed)

Subject: [PATCH] docs(instructions): sync github-agentic-workflows.md with
v0.40.1
Add two missing safe-outputs fields identified by auditing code against instructions:
- add-comment.footer: boolean flag to omit visible footer while preserving XML markers
- safe-outputs.failure-issue-repo: string field to redirect failure tracking issues to another repo
Both fields exist in SafeOutputsConfig/AddCommentsConfig structs and in the JSON schema but were absent from the instructions file.
