This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>[lint-monster] lint-monster: function-length refactoring backlog</issue_title>
<issue_description>Authoritative tracking issue for the shared function-length refactoring backlog from the daily custom-linter scan.

Current authoritative count

• 673 function-length findings total
• pkg/cli: 385 findings
• pkg/workflow: 288 findings

Scope

Treat all largefunc findings in pkg/workflow and pkg/cli as one shared backlog. Do not split into separate tracking issues by package, part number, or count snapshot.

Representative diagnostics

• pkg/workflow/awf_helpers.go:229: BuildAWFCommand is 377 lines long.
• pkg/workflow/safe_outputs_config_extraction.go:45: extractSafeOutputsConfig is 370 lines long.
• pkg/workflow/awf_config.go:470: BuildAWFConfigJSON is 301 lines long.
• pkg/cli/add_interactive_workflow.go:17: checkStatusAndOfferRun is 146 lines long.
• pkg/cli/add_workflow_pr.go:53: addWorkflowsWithPR is 128 lines long.
• pkg/cli/add_wizard_command.go:15: NewAddWizardCommand is 123 lines long.

Next slices to refactor

• Start with the most localized 61-80 line functions in pkg/workflow.
• Refactor the smallest pkg/cli overages next to retire many findings quickly.
• Extract narrow helpers; preserve behavior and signatures where possible.
• Re-run make golint-custom and update this issue with the new count.

Remediation guidance

• Keep each PR scoped to a small batch of related functions.
• Prefer helper extraction over semantic rewrites.
• Validate with make golint-custom.

Duplicate issue handling

• No authoritative duplicate issue could be confirmed from the current sandbox reads, so this issue is the consolidated tracker for today.
