v6-beta

What's Changed

Updated persist-credentials to store the credentials under $RUNNER_TEMP instead of directly in the local git config.

This requires a minimum Actions Runner version of v2.329.0 to access the persisted credentials for Docker container action scenarios.

Updates actions/download-artifact from 4 to 8

Release notes

Sourced from actions/download-artifact's releases.

v8.0.0

v8 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.

[!IMPORTANT] Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).

Direct downloads

To support direct uploads in actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to true.

Enforced checks (breaking)

A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the digest-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

What's Changed

Full Changelog: actions/download-artifact@v7...v8.0.0

v7.0.0

v7 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v7 now runs on Node.js 24 (runs.using: node24) and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. If you are using self-hosted runners, ensure they are updated before upgrading.

Node.js 24

This release updates the runtime to Node.js 24. v6 had preliminary support for Node 24, however this action was by default still running on Node.js 20. Now this action by default will run on Node.js 24.

Updates actions/upload-artifact from 4 to 7

Release notes

Sourced from actions/upload-artifact's releases.

v7.0.0

v7 What's new

Direct Uploads

Adds support for uploading single files directly (unzipped). Callers can set the new archive parameter to false to skip zipping the file during upload. Right now, we only support single files. The action will fail if the glob passed resolves to multiple files. The name parameter is also ignored with this setting. Instead, the name of the artifact will be the name of the uploaded file.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

Updates github/gh-aw from 0.50.1 to 0.68.3

Release notes

Sourced from github/gh-aw's releases.

v0.68.3

🌟 Release Highlights

This release delivers a major overhaul of push_signed_commits.cjs for edge-case reliability, significant improvements to shared workflow imports, smarter AI model error handling, and a wave of community-driven fixes.

✨ What's New

  • Model-not-supported detection — When a model is unavailable or not supported by your Copilot plan, the workflow now stops retrying and surfaces a clear, actionable error in the failure report rather than spinning indefinitely. (#26229)
  • checkout field in shared imports — Shared importable workflows now support a checkout field, giving you control over which ref is checked out when importing a shared workflow. (#26292)
  • env field in shared imports — You can now pass environment variables via env: in shared import blocks, eliminating the need for workarounds when shared workflows require custom env context. (#26113)
  • Time Between Turns (TBT) metricgh aw audit and gh aw logs now report Time Between Turns, a key indicator of whether LLM prompt caching is effective for your workflows. (#26321)
  • OTEL token breakdown — Conclusion spans now include token category breakdowns as attributes, enabling richer cost analysis in your observability dashboards. (#26121)
  • API consumption charts as inline images — API consumption reports now render charts as inline Markdown images for instant visibility without requiring external image hosting. (#26150)

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

push_signed_commits.cjs — five targeted fixes:

  • File content is now read from commit objects (not the working tree), preventing stale-file bugs in agent-driven commits. (#26287)
  • Copy/rename detection and C-quoted filenames are now handled correctly. (#26277)
  • Non-100644 file modes (executables, symlinks) are detected and handled gracefully. (#26259)
  • Commit ordering uses --topo-order and merge commits are handled with a git push fallback. (#26306)
  • Submodule entries now fall back to a plain git push instead of erroring. (#26298)

Other notable fixes:

  • on.github-token propagated to activation job — Cross-org workflow_call setups no longer fail because the GitHub token was missing from checkout and hash-check steps. (#26137)
  • copilot-driver --resume auth recovery — Authentication failures during --continue/--resume are now handled instead of crashing the driver. (#26146)
  • add_comment gains reply_to_id — The reply_to_id parameter is now documented in the MCP tool schema so agents reliably pass it when threading replies. (#26288)
  • safe-outputs.actions tools exposed — Custom action tools defined in safe-outputs.actions are now included in the agent's MCP toolset. (#26291)
  • engine.max-turns preserved through shared imports — The max-turns setting no longer silently drops when the engine config is sourced from a shared import. (#26122)
  • Docker no longer required for gh aw compile --validate — Validation now skips Docker image checks when Docker is unavailable; opt in with --validate-images when needed. (#26074)
  • GH_HOST env var used for GH CLI callsgh repo view and gh pr create now respect GH_HOST, fixing failures in GHES and cross-org contexts. (#26311)
  • resolveIssueNumber strips stray quotes — Item numbers wrapped in quotes no longer cause resolution failures. (#26114)
  • --safe-update renamed to --approve — The flag name now more clearly conveys its intent. (#26160)
