v0.79.7

🌟 Release Highlights

This release focuses on AI credit management hardening, codemod reliability, and expanded tooling support — with stronger guardrail enforcement and cleaner failure diagnostics throughout.

⚠️ Notable Changes

• daily_effective_workflow_* metrics renamed to daily_ai_credits_* (#38611): Workflow run metrics are now standardized under the daily_ai_credits_* namespace. If you reference these metrics in dashboards, queries, or configurations, update them to the new names. See the migration guide for details.

✨ What's New

• Codemod exclusion flags for fix and upgrade (#38688): gh aw fix and gh aw upgrade now accept exclusion flags, giving you fine-grained control over which codemods are applied during automated maintenance runs.
• Pi CLI support (#38724): The @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent CLI is now tracked in the cli-version-checker, expanding agent compatibility monitoring.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Guardrail enforcement hardened (#38639): The max_daily_ai_credits guardrail now fails as a hard stop, preventing cost overruns while correctly preserving workflow conclusion failure handling.
• Guardrail coverage expanded (#38705): Daily AI credit guardrails now apply to label-triggered and slash-command-triggered workflows, closing a gap where these trigger paths were previously unenforced.
• Codemod shell comment handling (#38682): Shell comment lines are now correctly skipped when scanning run: blocks for expression hoisting, preventing false-positive codemod transformations.
• Actionable COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN error messages (#38722): When COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN is missing, agent failure issues now include a permissions.copilot-requests: write suggestion, making the fix immediately actionable.
• Faster OIDC api-proxy startup (#38718): The initial awf-reflect models probe is deferred until after startup, reducing cold-start latency for the harness.

📚 Documentation

• Azure Foundry OpenAI v1 BYOK (#38641): Documentation now covers Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) configuration for Azure Foundry OpenAI v1 deployments.
