+## Copilot Attribution Banner
+
+The safe-output tools (`add_comment`, `create_pull_request_review_comment`, `submit_pull_request_review`) post via a maintainer's PAT (`COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN`), so every comment shows the maintainer's avatar and username. Without an explicit disclosure, readers will mistake an automated review for a personal one from that maintainer. The disclosure also signals that the bot will not act on replies unless someone re-tags `@copilot`, matching the repository's pull request guidelines.

+**Banner — required at the top of every `add_comment` body and every `submit_pull_request_review` body:**

+Substitute `<workflow-run-url>` with the value the orchestrator hands you in the subagent prompt (it is the `GH_AW_RUN_URL` env var on the workflow side, i.e. `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/actions/runs/<run_id>`). Do **not** invent the URL — if the orchestrator did not include a workflow run URL in your prompt, use this fallback variant of the banner verbatim instead (it drops the "Generated by …" sentence entirely so the markdown stays valid):

+Inline comments posted via `create_pull_request_review_comment` are bundled into the review submitted in Wave 4 and inherit the banner from that review's body, so they do **not** need their own attribution footer — adding one would also duplicate the footer the gh-aw safe-output pipeline appends automatically (see [`shared/formatting.md`](../workflows/shared/formatting.md)).

 ## Instructions
 
 1. Fetch the full diff for the pull request.
-2. Call the `expert-reviewer` agent as a **background** task (`task` tool, `agent_type: "general-purpose"`, `model: "claude-opus-4.6"`, `mode: "background"`). Include the PR number, repository owner/name, and the full diff content in the subagent prompt. Also remind the subagent in its prompt that the `submit_pull_request_review` safe-output only accepts `event: "COMMENT"` or `event: "REQUEST_CHANGES"` — `APPROVE` is not allowed and will cause the entire review to be dropped.
+2. Call the `expert-reviewer` agent as a **background** task (`task` tool, `agent_type: "general-purpose"`, `model: "claude-opus-4.6"`, `mode: "background"`). Include the PR number, repository owner/name, the full diff content, **and the workflow run URL** (`${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }}`) in the subagent prompt. The subagent needs that URL to fill in the Copilot attribution banner that goes at the top of every `add_comment` body and every `submit_pull_request_review` body (inline `create_pull_request_review_comment` bodies do **not** carry the banner — they inherit it from the bundled review). See the [Copilot Attribution Banner](../../agents/expert-reviewer.agent.md#copilot-attribution-banner) section of the agent definition. Also remind the subagent in its prompt that the `submit_pull_request_review` safe-output only accepts `event: "COMMENT"` or `event: "REQUEST_CHANGES"` — `APPROVE` is not allowed and will cause the entire review to be dropped.
 3. **Immediately after launching the background task** — do NOT wait for it to finish and do NOT read its result — call `noop` with a brief status message such as `"Expert-reviewer launched in background for PR #N. It will post the review directly."`. Then stop. The subagent has direct access to the safe-output tools and will post its own review (`create_pull_request_review_comment`, `add_comment`, `submit_pull_request_review`) without any further action from you.
 
 > **Important**: Reading the background agent result would pull its entire conversation (2+ million tokens from spawning 21 dimension sub-agents) into your context, causing a server error. Do not call `read_agent` or any equivalent after calling `noop`.
