No built-in safe output for creating or editing wiki pages #28608

Open

Description

@JamesNK

I want to create and edit a wiki page from a workflow. I currently have a custom safe output for doing this. Please add a built-in feature.

    @copilot add safe-outputs.edit-wiki-page (create/update is implied).

    Status (2026-10-07; Maintainer direction): In the October 7 discussion, a maintainer requested safe-outputs.edit-wiki-page, with creation and updates implied. The next step is to specify and implement that built-in safe output; the request does not establish that it has shipped.

    Current-state refresher (2026-10-16): still relevant. Checked default-branch snapshot 0d15bd1, not just the issue's open status.

    Wiki checkout support exists in the checkout generator, but this is not a privileged create/update wiki safe output. The current safe-output configuration does not provide edit-wiki-page. The related implementations in #29626 and #1080 are closed without merging; their descriptions should not be read as shipped support.

    The outstanding work remains the built-in create/update safe output requested in the October 7 maintainer comment, including its trusted write path and policy validation. This is a source/history assessment; no workflow execution was attempted.

    2026-10-22 assessment: still relevant; no built-in safe-outputs.edit-wiki-page.

    The current SafeOutputsConfig still has no wiki create/update output. The implementations #29626 and #1080 remain closed unmerged.

    There are related shipped capabilities, but they are not this API: #28900 added wiki checkout; #19800 added wiki-backed repo-memory; #36818 corrected its changed-file limit. Checkout is read/preparation support, and automatic wiki-memory persistence is not the explicit page-edit safe-output contract requested in the October 7 maintainer direction.

    Next action: implement/review that built-in create/update output with a separate trusted write path, fixed/allowlisted wiki target, bounded page paths/content, explicit credentials and failure reporting, and staged/no-change behavior. Verify existing-page edits and new-page creation without giving the primary agent write credentials. Existing custom output and repo-memory routes may inform the implementation but are not grounds to close this request. No wiki mutation was attempted.
