Last agent output:

**Blog post:** `docs/src/content/docs/blog/2026-05-18-agent-of-the-day.md`  
**PR:** `Agent of the Day – 2026-05-18` on branch `blog/agent-of-the-day-2026-05-18`
**Workflow featured:** 🔧 Auto-Triage Issues — Copilot (`gpt-5-mini`) labels unlabeled GitHub issues every 6 hours in a firewalled container.
**Live evidence used:**
- 3 runs in 24 hours, 17 AI turns, ~549k tokens, zero errors
- Runs [#2174](https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/26008527401), [#2176](https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/26020488891), [#2179](https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/26037398435)
- The "risky" behavioral-drift flag on run #2176 (turns doubled, same noop outcome) became the narrative centerpiece — a concrete window into how the framework's observability thinks about agent behavior changes.
