…reate-pull-request Root cause: YAML unmarshal error when reviewers field is a string instead of []string The single string was being converted to array AFTER unmarshaling, causing unmarshal to fail silently Solution: Pre-convert reviewers string to array BEFORE unmarshaling This prevents YAML parser errors and allows all fields (expires, title-prefix, labels, etc.) to be correctly unmarshaled Affected workflows: poem-bot, tidy, q, github-mcp-tools-report, technical-doc-writer All now correctly include expires field in handler config Related: #13285 Co-authored-by: pelikhan <4175913+pelikhan@users.noreply.github.com>

Problem
Agentic workflows creating pull requests or issues lacked expiration configuration, allowing created items to persist indefinitely without automatic cleanup.

Example change:
The
expires: 2dconfiguration converts to 48 hours in compiled workflows, after which created PRs/issues are eligible for automatic closure.Known Issue
Workflows with both
create-pull-requestandpush-to-pull-request-branchsafe-outputs have a compiler bug preventing the expires field from appearing in generated lock files. Source .md files are correctly updated; lock file generation issue should be addressed separately.Original prompt
