-name: 🤖 Auto Issue Fix Pipeline
-
-# Multi-agent pipeline that:
-# 1. Scans and triages recent GitHub issues (issue-scanner agent)
-# 2. Fixes the selected issue and pushes a fix branch (issue-fixer agent)
-# 3. Verifies the fix branch against the DTS emulator (pr-verification agent)
-#
-# Agents are chained sequentially via file-based handoff:
-#   issue-scanner → /tmp/selected-issue.json → issue-fixer → /tmp/fix-branch-info.json → pr-verification
-#
-# Note: GitHub Copilot CLI agents do not support built-in handoffs in CI.
-# Chaining is achieved by running agents as sequential workflow steps and
-# injecting the previous agent's output into the next agent's prompt.
-#
-# The fixer agent pushes a branch (not a PR) because the workflow only has
-# pull-requests: read permission. A human opens the PR from the branch.
