Pull request overview
Follow-up to #4177 that strips all label-application behavior from the agentic issue-triage workflow. The workflow now only reads the issue and posts a single triage summary comment; labeling is left to GitHub Projects and human triage.
Changes:
- Removes
add-labelsfrom safe-outputs frontmatter and all label-related instructions/template language inissue-triage.md; adds an explicit "do not calladd_labels" guardrail and moves the AI disclaimer above Next Steps. - Drops the "Required Context" step that scanned
.github/**.mdfiles. - Recompiles
issue-triage.lock.ymland updatesactions-lock.jsonaccordingly.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| .github/workflows/issue-triage.md | Removes label actions, required-context step, and updates triage-summary template/next-steps wording. |
| .github/workflows/issue-triage.lock.yml | Recompiled lock; however it appears to be recompiled with an older gh-aw CLI (v0.68.1) which downgrades many unrelated pinned versions and removes recent features. |
| .github/aw/actions-lock.json | Recompiled lock that downgrades the setup action and removes pinned firewall container digests. |
