⚠️ Areas Needing Attention

1. Cross-repo authentication (Activation checkout does not authenticate cross-repo .github/.agents checkout with on.github-app #21188) — Activation checkout failing for cross-repo .github/.agents — could affect workflows using external agent configs.
2. Expression-size limit (Safe outputs tools.json block triggers expression-size limit when target uses ${{ }} #21157) — Safe outputs tools.json may trigger GitHub Actions expression limits in certain configurations.
3. PATH propagation (AWF agent PATH misses GITHUB_PATH additions #21144) — AWF agent missing GITHUB_PATH additions; may cause tool-not-found errors in workflows.
4. Smoke test failure ([aw] Smoke Update Cross-Repo PR failed #21152) — Cross-repo PR smoke update failed; worth investigating if it's flaky or a real regression.
5. Unformatted stderr (5 plan issues [plan] Fix unformatted stderr output in copilot_setup.go and mcp_list_tools.go #21175–[plan] Fix unformatted stderr output in remaining CLI files (audit, compile, deps, logs, etc.) #21179) — Several CLI files still use raw fmt.Println instead of console formatting — active refactoring effort underway.
