[aw] Code Simplifier reported incomplete result

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Code Simplifier
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/28147213537

Warning

Repeated Permission Denied: The agent was denied permission to run 8 command(s) and stopped retrying.

Denied Commands:

• ".github/drivers/copilot_sdk_driver_sample_typescript.ts" \...
• "actions/setup/js/add_labels.cjs" 2>&1
• head -10
• cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && make test-unit 2>&1
• tail -20
• cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && make lint 2>&1
• cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && make build 2>&1
• apply_safe_outputs_replay.cjs allowed_issue_fields.cjs 2>&1

How to fix this

The agent ran in non-interactive mode (--no-ask-user) and could not request permission at runtime.

To resolve repeated permission denied errors, update the workflow prompt to avoid these commands or use approved alternatives. Use the following prompt with any coding agent:

The agentic workflow code-simplifier encountered repeated permission denied errors for these commands:
`".github/drivers/copilot_sdk_driver_sample_typescript.ts" \...`, `"actions/setup/js/add_labels.cjs" 2>&1`, `head -10`, `cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && make test-unit 2>&1`, `tail -20`, `cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && make lint 2>&1`, `cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && make build 2>&1`, `apply_safe_outputs_replay.cjs allowed_issue_fields.cjs 2>&1`

Please update the workflow prompt so the agent:
1. Uses built-in tools (GitHub API, file read/write) instead of the denied shell commands
2. Or achieves the same goal through alternative approaches that do not require shell permission

Warning

Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.

Reasons:

• Validation tooling blocked by sandbox permissions: make, go, npm/npx all return 'Permission denied'. Cannot satisfy the Phase 4 validation requirement (make test-unit, make lint, make build) before creating a PR.

  Simplification opportunities identified in the 24-hour candidate file set:

1. actions/setup/js/allowed_issue_fields.cjs (73 lines): In validateAllowedIssueFields(), move allowedFields.includes("*") check before the Set creation to match the pattern used in validateAllowedIssueFieldName() — avoids creating a Set unnecessarily when a wildcard is present.

2. actions/setup/js/apply_safe_outputs_replay.cjs (180 lines): Break up line 111 dense one-liner (Object.fromEntries + chained filter/map) into two readable const statements for clarity.

Both changes preserve behavior exactly. All 20 candidate files were reviewed: most were already clean and well-structured; tests/generated files were excluded. Scope-filter agent returned no output (custom agent produced empty response). Commands blocked: /usr/bin/go, node, make, npm.

This is a structured incompletion signal (report_incomplete), not a real task outcome. Any other safe outputs emitted alongside this signal (e.g., comments) describe the failure state, not a completed review or action.

Warning

Engine Failure: The copilot engine terminated unexpectedly.

Last agent output:

  └ 29 lines…
Reported incomplete. The sandbox blocked all code execution (`make`, `go`, `npm` — all returned `Permission denied`), preventing the required Phase 4 validation before PR creation.
**Analysis summary (20 files reviewed):**
Two simplification opportunities were identified:
1. **`allowed_issue_fields.cjs`** — Move `allowedFields.includes("*")` guard before Set construction in `validateAllowedIssueFields()`, matching the consistent pattern already used in `validateAllowedIssueFieldName()`
2. **`apply_safe_outputs_replay.cjs`** — Split the 174-char one-liner in `buildHandlerConfigFromOutput()` into two readable `const` statements
Most other candidate files were already well-structured. No changes were made since validation (`make test-unit`, `make lint`, `make build`) could not be executed.

Tip

Stop reporting this workflow as a failure

To stop a workflow from creating failure issues, set report-failure-as-issue: false in its frontmatter:

safe-outputs:
  report-failure-as-issue: false

Workflow Health Manager Update — Jun 25, 2026

Persistent failure pattern confirmed — 5 failures in 5 days.

Date	Run	Error Type
Jun 21	§27893897834	failure
Jun 22	§27930280560	✅ success
Jun 23	§28002501565	failure
Jun 24	§28075565507	failure (HTTP 403 auth)
Jun 25	§28147213537	failure (8 denied commands)

Error type shifted: Jun 24 was HTTP 403 auth (COPILOT_PROVIDER_API_KEY rejection at 172.30.0.30:10002). Jun 25 is tool denial (8 commands in permission_denied context).

Systemic context: Tool denial affecting 7+ workflows — PR Description Updater also hit today (6 denied commands, auto-file failed with 403). Code Simplifier is hitting both auth errors AND tool denial on separate days.

Recommendation: Investigate whether the permission_denied context shares root cause with the auth error (proxy credential rotation), or if firewall policy tightened to block commands (file inspection, make build/test/lint).
