[dependabot]

Bumps github/gh-aw from 0.45.0 to 0.50.4.

Release notes

Sourced from github/gh-aw's releases.

v0.50.4

🌟 Release Highlights

This release introduces configurable autopilot continuation limits for agentic engines, improves the auto-triage workflow, and refines scout report formatting.

✨ What's New

• Configurable max-continuations for engine autopilot — You can now set max-continuations in your engine configuration to cap how many times an agent may continue execution in autopilot mode. This gives you fine-grained control over agent run depth and resource usage (currently supported for the Copilot engine).

  engine:
    name: copilot
    max-continuations: 5

• Auto-triage community label — The auto-triage workflow now automatically applies the community label to issues opened by external contributors (NONE, FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR, FIRST_TIMER associations), making it easier to track and prioritize community feedback.

• Expanded ecosystem domains — Added data.jsdelivr.com, code.jquery.com, cdn.sheetjs.com, and bitbucket.org to the allowed domains list, unblocking Deno/Lume, SheetJS, and Composer-based workflows.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Scout report header normalization — Scout reports now use consistent h3 headers and bold <summary> tags, aligning with the formatting conventions used by ci-coach, ci-doctor, and pr-triage-agent.

v0.40.1 - 2026-02-03

Move from githubnext/gh-aw to github/gh-aw

If you were a former user of the githubnext Agentic Workflows you might have to re-register the extension to reflect the new location. As the gh-aw project moved from githubnext to github please delete the old channel and register the new one.

Example:

gh extension list
NAME   REPO              VERSION
gh aw  githubnext/gh-aw  v0.36.0
gh extension upgrade --all
[aw]: already up to date
gh extension remove gh-aw
gh extension install github/gh-aw
✓ Installed extension github/gh-aw
gh extension list
NAME   REPO          VERSION
gh aw  github/gh-aw  v0.40.1

Bug Fixes

Handle 502 Bad Gateway errors in assign_to_agent handler by treating them as success. The cloud gateway may return 502 errors during agent assignment, but the assignment typically succeeds despite the error. The handler now logs 502 errors for troubleshooting but does not fail the workflow.

Add discussion interaction to smoke workflows and serialize the discussion

flag in safe-outputs handler config.

Smoke workflows now select a random discussion and post thematic comments to validate discussion comment functionality. The compiler now emits the "discussion": true flag in GH_AW_SAFE_OUTPUTS_HANDLER_CONFIG when a workflow requests discussion output, and lock files include discussions: write permission where applicable.

Add discussion interaction to smoke workflows; compiler now serializes the discussion flag into the safe-outputs handler config so workflows can post comments to discussions. Lock files include discussions: write where applicable.

Smoke workflows pick a random discussion and post a thematic comment (copilot: playful, claude: comic-book, codex: mystical oracle, opencode: space mission). This is a non-breaking tooling/workflow change.

Add discussion interaction to smoke workflows; deprecate the discussion flag and
