v0.85.0

🌟 Release Highlights

This release focuses on hardening safe-output handling, smoothing out agentic engine configuration, and continuing the cleanup around the OpenCode engine removal.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• OpenCode engine removed — documentation now reflects the removal of the OpenCode engine; workflows relying on it must migrate to a supported engine. (#50311)

✨ What's New

• Shared workflow engine configuration — agentic engine setup is now unified across workflows, reducing duplication and configuration drift. (#50422)
• Partial-batch status counts for safe outputs — safe-output jobs now expose counts for partially completed batches, making it easier to diagnose incomplete runs. (#50371)
• Normalized JSON-encoded safe-output labels — label values are now consistently normalized, avoiding mismatches from JSON-encoded strings. (#50364)
• Review thread resolution from review comment node IDs — PR review threads can now be resolved directly from review comment node IDs. (#50349)

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Suppressed false-positive RGS-004 runner-guard warnings for activation-gated jobs. (#50370)
• The threat detection parser now accepts Markdown-emphasis-wrapped THREAT_DETECTION_RESULT lines. (#50401)
• Disabled compile watch mode in automated environments to avoid hangs in CI. (#50385)
• Fixed a broken docs/safe-outputs.md link surfaced in the dangerous-permissions compile error message. (#50381)

📚 Documentation

• Added guidance for repository maintenance workflows, including a new "Repo Assist" doc for AI-assisted maintenance and a sample maintainer prompt. (#50414, #50413, #50346)
