v0.82.2

🌟 Release Highlights

This release focuses on ARC/DinD (Actions Runner Controller + Docker-in-Docker) reliability, expanded skills: frontmatter capabilities, and a wave of quality improvements to ESLint rules, safe-outputs, and the Windows CI matrix.

✨ What's New

• ARC/DinD topology is now fully supported. Three coordinated fixes (#42815, #42855, #42906) redirect runtime-critical paths to daemon-visible locations (${RUNNER_TEMP}/gh-aw), redirect DOTNET_INSTALL_DIR and GOPATH, and pre-create required mount directories — so compiled workflows run reliably on ARC/DinD runners without path-visibility failures. Requires AWF firewall ≥ v0.27.22.

• Per-skill GitHub auth in skills: frontmatter. Each skill entry can now carry its own github-token or github-app credential, enabling multi-org or multi-repo skill installs with distinct authentication. (#42594)

• Runtime reviewers, team-reviewers, and assignees in create-pull-request. Reviewer and assignee fields now accept template expressions resolved at runtime — routing the created PR to the triggering actor or any dynamically computed value. (#42621)

• PR Sous Chef auto-dismisses stale bot reviews. After an agent addresses feedback, pr-sous-chef can now dismiss stale CHANGES_REQUESTED reviews from github-actions[bot], letting PRs proceed without manual cleanup. (#42626)

• reasoning_depth A/B experiment in plan workflow. A three-variant experiment (shallow, baseline, deep) measures whether lighter or deeper prompts improve sub-issue quality and cost. (#42955)

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Safe-outputs pre-flight full-branch validation — the allowed_files check now validates the full commit history reachable from a pushed ref, preventing false-safe pushes when older commits touched .github/workflows/. (#42585)
• Skill install failures surface as agent failure context — when gh skill install fails, the failure is detected and attached to the agent's failure context for clearer diagnostics. (#42642)
• BYOK provider inheritance for sub-agents — fixes sub-agents not inheriting the BYOK provider from the headless sidecar environment. (#42613)
• Windows cmd/direct quoting fix — resolves a .NET vs cmd.exe quote escaping mismatch causing cmd/direct scenario failures in the Windows CI matrix. (#42951)
• Workspace wipe prevention during local-actions checkout — generated checkout steps now include clean: false so .git state is preserved for subsequent local-action post-steps. (#42611)
• ESLint rule improvements — no-unsafe-promise-catch-error-property brought to parity with its sibling rule, null-safe companion requirement for typeof err === "object" catch guards, and new require-async-entrypoint-catch rule. (#42953, #42568, #42935)
• timesleepnocontext linter boundary fix — stops incorrectly crossing non-Go/defer FuncLit boundaries when attributing time.Sleep calls. (#42946)

📚 Documentation

• skills: frontmatter reference — new documentation covering pinned refs, per-skill auth, and a real-world complex example. (#42747)
• Safe outputs reference slimmed down — the safe outputs reference is now significantly shorter and easier to scan. (#42814)
• app: → github-app: migration completed — gh aw fix now covers top-level app: blocks in addition to nested occurrences. (#42794)
