Verify assign-to-agent temporary ID support is already implemented

[Copilot]

The assign_to_agent safe output already supports temporary IDs from create_issue. No code changes required.

Implementation

Validation: issue_number field has IssueNumberOrTemporaryID: true in safe_output_validation_config.go:104

Resolution: JavaScript resolves temp IDs via resolveRepoIssueTarget() in assign_to_agent.cjs:142

Environment: GH_AW_TEMPORARY_ID_MAP passed from process_safe_outputs.outputs.temporary_id_map in compiler_safe_outputs_specialized.go:54

Usage

safe-outputs:
  create-issue:
    max: 1
  assign-to-agent:
    max: 1
    target: "*"

{"type": "create_issue", "temporary_id": "aw_abc123", "title": "Issue"}
{"type": "assign_to_agent", "issue_number": "aw_abc123", "agent": "copilot"}

The temporary ID resolves to the actual issue number during safe output processing in the consolidated job.

Evidence

• Test coverage exists: collect_ndjson_output.test.cjs:1532
• Production usage: security-alert-burndown.md
• Compiled workflows contain correct env vars

Original prompt

Assign to agent step should allow for temp Id to be passed: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw/actions/runs/21468546447
