GitHub Agentic Workflows Files

🌟 Release Highlights

This release focuses on scheduling controls, trajectory-based agent evaluation, and hardened MCP Gateway/validation behavior.

✨ What's New

• on.cooldown workflow gating (#56998) lets workflows enforce a minimum interval between runs, reducing noisy or redundant triggers.
• Typed on.stop-after field (#56983) now supports GitHub Actions expressions, giving finer control over when scheduled/triggered workflows should stop running.
• Trajectory graders expanded with new implementations for policy-near-miss, exploitation-error, exploration-error, lempel-ziv-trajectory-complexity, skill-constraint-coverage, and tool-output-consumption-rate (#56996, #57152, #57087, #56972, #57055, #57252), plus OpenTelemetry span reporting for grader and eval results (#57015, #57166).
• MCP Gateway bumped to v0.4.14 (#57188) and its compiler output migrated to agentId (#56990), with mutually exclusive agentId/agentIds fields now validated in the gateway schema (#56939).
• Agentic Workflow Firewall bumped to v0.28.10 (#56914).

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed Codex harness handling of unsupported-model tool-schema failures with a clearer error message (#57256).
• Fixed trajectory grader duplicate detection (#57255) and prevented oversized MCP query payloads from exceeding argument limits (#57253).
• Fixed remote MCP authentication canary tool check (#57081) and Codex MCP environment fallback rendering (#56924).
• Fixed Playwright MCP TOML sandbox configuration (#56800) and added validation for Playwright mode expressions (#56933).
• Fixed require-getexecoutput-exitcode-check false positive on destructuring assignments (#57088) and improved manualpathconcat/prefer-actions-exec-over-child-process linter detection (#57056, #56985).
• Now requires positive max-runs values in workflow schema (#56911) and rejects top-level roles: per schema validation (#56981).
• Fixed missing Undici dependency in Copilot SDK workflows (#57057) and aligned the Copilot SDK tool catalog with compiled workflow tools (#56976).
• Normalized disabled failure-issue expiry in lockfiles (#56901) and stripped bot footer noise from prompt clustering inputs (#56910).

📚 Documentation

• Fixed invalid YAML example in Job Outputs docs (#56977), broken gallery links in multi-device docs testing (#57082), and stale Daily Firewall Report scope in the metrics glossary (#56979).
• Added documentation on intent-driven workflow design (#57005).
