`"Staging shows what a well-behaved run writes. Now the hard case: an issue written to steer the automation. A free-text issue can name a symptom without naming a file or a label. A keyword rule cannot reliably decide whether it is a bug, duplicate, or question."`,
`"One event starts all three, and all three run unattended in GitHub Actions: someone opens issue #482, and each automation runs on issues: opened. The only difference is who holds the write token." Then follow it through each lane. The rule-based workflow finds neither "crash" nor "error" and leaves it unlabeled, so a person still reads it. The do-it-yourself job sends the issue to an LLM and hands the model a write token; it labels the issue and also obeys the prompt injection in the body, closing #470. The agentic workflow labels it bug and comments; a request to close #470 has nowhere to go, because the separate safe-outputs job applies only the declared label and comment.`,
`"Bounded is the claim, not safe. The agent can still pick a wrong label or write a misleading comment, and a maintainer can see and undo it; it cannot take an action the workflow never declared."`,
`→ Next, every control that stands between an untrusted issue and the repository.`
],
know: [
`The source talk intentionally avoids a general dollar comparison: maintainer attention varies by repository. Gather local run audit and Outcomes evidence instead.`,
`The security tension is that a model step holding a write token can be steered by untrusted text. gh-aw separates agent reasoning from writes, isolates credentials, and limits the network. The next slide lists each control.`,
`Issue #482 is illustrative. Each write type, such as add-labels, add-comment, or close-issue, works only when the workflow declares it under safe-outputs; this example declares labels and one comment.`

`Walk the cards. /plan only splits an issue into sub-issues, yet it is the highest-volume workflow because coding agents built 761 PRs from those issues and people merged 514, 67 percent. Semantic Function Refactor opened 99 issues that led to 142 PRs, 112 merged. Documentation Updater is the other shape: it opens its own [docs] pull request, and maintainers merged 57 of 59. Meta-agents such as the Agent Performance Analyzer watch the other workflows; it flagged draft PRs at 9.6 percent of open PRs, which led to a fix.`,

`A maintainer can compare the agent's labels with their own judgment over the next week. This is a practical first pilot because issues already arrive and labels are reversible.`,
`In the Plan column, a maintainer comments /plan. The plan workflow creates at most five [plan] issues under a tracker, each with an objective, files to touch, steps, and acceptance criteria; here it creates three.`,

`FanHub's lifecycle pilot is a distinct example: issue #110 moved through four label-triggered workflows to draft PR #193. It recorded an incorrect build command, a network adjustment for package restore, and a repository setting change. The PR remained a draft awaiting a maintainer.`
