Agentic Triage completed successfully but produced no safe outputs because shell access blocked the generated safeoutputs CLI shim.

  • Workflow configuration

    • Allow only the safeoutputs command through the restricted shell interface.
    • Keep the general CLI proxy disabled.
    tools:
      bash: [safeoutputs]
      cli-proxy: false
  • Generated workflow

    • Regenerate the gh-aw lockfile with the safe-output CLI prompt and required command permissions.

🟡 Changes recommended

The regenerated lockfile broadens shell tool permissions beyond what the PR description specifies (allowing more than just safeoutputs).

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Agentic Triage workflow configuration to allow emitting “safe outputs” by permitting the safeoutputs command via the restricted shell interface, and regenerates the gh-aw lockfile accordingly.

Changes:

  • Enable restricted bash access for safeoutputs in the workflow frontmatter.
  • Regenerate issue-triage.lock.yml to incorporate the safeoutputs CLI prompt additions and updated tool permissions.

🔵 Needs a closer look

The lockfile grants broader shell permissions than the workflow’s safeoutputs-only boundary.

.github/workflows/issue-triage.lock.yml:970

  • The generated command line now permits shell(github:*) and generic commands such as cat, grep, and yq in addition to shell(safeoutputs). That makes the effective shell surface broader than .github/workflows/issue-triage.md:36 (bash: [safeoutputs]) and contradicts the PR's stated security boundary; please correct the gh-aw generation/configuration so the committed lockfile grants only the required safe-output shell permission.
