Add guidance for three workflow-design gaps: fork PR policy checks, issue-template routing, and deterministic CLI work before agent execution.

• Fork PR checks: Explain the default fork exclusion for pull_request, when to allow forks, and when workflow_run is appropriate.
• Issue templates: Document that issues cannot filter by template; describe label-based activation and prompt-level checks with an explicit noop or fallback.
• Runner-side CLI work: Clarify that steps: run outside the AWF network sandbox, recommend exact CLI version pins, and distinguish them from agent tools and pre-agent-steps:.

Example label gate:

on:
  label_command:
    name: bug-report
    events: [issues]

• Fixes Agent Persona Exploration - 2026-11-09 #76278

🟡 Changes recommended

The documentation incorrectly treats the label gate as proof of template origin, although the trigger also runs when the label is added to free-form issues.

What changed in this PR

This documentation-only pull request adds guidance for fork pull-request checks, issue-template routing, and deterministic runner-side CLI preparation before agent execution.

Changes:

• Documents fork behavior for pull_request workflows and when workflow_run is appropriate.
• Explains label-based and prompt-level issue-template routing, including fallback handling.
• Clarifies runner-side steps:, pre-agent-steps:, network boundaries, and exact CLI version pinning.

File	Summary	Review findings
.github/​aw/​workflow-patterns.md	Documents deterministic CLI execution outside the AWF agent sandbox and distinguishes runner steps, agent tools, and pre-agent-steps:.	None
.github/​aw/​triggers.md	Adds issue-template routing and fork pull-request policy-check guidance.	Nit, 1 vote: Add a branches: restriction to the workflow_run recommendation. Nit, 1 vote: Warn that artifacts from untrusted fork PRs must be treated as untrusted data and never executed. Nit, 2 votes: Clarify that label routing does not prove template origin. Nit, 1 vote: Document the default role allowlist or configure roles: all for external issue reporters.
