v0.86.2

🌟 Release Highlights

This release focuses on hardening the sandbox and MCP gateway, smoothing out safe-output and threat-detection reliability, and shipping a steady stream of security and quality fixes across the compiler and CLI.

✨ What's New

  • Docker sandbox (docker-sbx) rollout continues — the sandboxed execution environment now runs for a larger share of agentic workflows, with fixes for pre-flight step naming, gVisor false positives, and Docker Hub secret handling (#51264, #51294, #51341, #51439, #51949). See the sandbox reference.
  • Agent runtime trackingsandbox.agent.runtime is now stored in aw_info.json, and gh aw logs/gh aw audit gained a --runtime filter for easier debugging across engines (#51465, #52076). See agent runtimes.
  • MCP gateway hardening — explicit mount policy allowlisting for the safeoutputs backend server, plus a bump to gh-aw-mcpg v0.4.9 and github-mcp-server v1.9.0 (#51870, #51828).
  • Skills frontmatter flexibility — non-SHA refs are now allowed in skills frontmatter and pinned automatically at compile time, and an explicit end-marker syntax was added for inline skills/sub-agents (#51455, #51446).
  • Threat detection improvements — inline threat detection for Code Scanning Fixer, rendered detection logs with group/mask macros, and gh-aw's own <system> prompt block is no longer flagged as prompt injection (#51277, #51255, #51818). See threat detection.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed silent failures in the Copilot session data fetcher and in gh aw mcp inspect pagination (#51195, #51193).
  • Fixed Claude harness retrying invalid-JSON body errors with --continue instead of starting a fresh run (#51793).
  • Fixed a CGO/CJS workflow cache key collision that caused widespread job failures (#51342).
  • Fixed recurring gh-aw-firewall digest-pin loss on default firewall version bumps (#51423).
  • Fixed Windows MCP server timeouts by propagating context through GitHub CLI subprocess calls (#51426).
  • Fixed retry handling and denials in the Contribution Check proxy (#51631).
  • Added support for HEAD-only bundles when pushing to pull request branches (#51833).
  • Fixed safe-output run summary classification so entries are always linked and correctly attributed (#51484, #51478).

📚 Documentation

  • Documented the --runtime flag for gh aw logs/gh aw audit, agent runtime selection/troubleshooting, and clarified Claude engine selection in automated bootstrap (#52076, #51427, #52099).
  • Improved overall documentation discoverability and trimmed troubleshooting guides (#52065, #51251).

🔧 Internal

A large batch of custom-linter hardening, dependency bumps, test-parallelization, and dependency vulnerability remediations (container image pinning, ip-address patch, deprecated MCP container replacements) round out this release — thanks to the automated maintenance workflows keeping the codebase clean and secure.> Generated by 🚀 Release · auto · 20.7 AIC · ⊞ 11.3K

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.

Updates actions/github-script from 8.0.0 to 9.0.0

Release notes

Sourced from actions/github-script's releases.

v9.0.0

New features:

  • getOctokit factory function — Available directly in the script context. Create additional authenticated Octokit clients with different tokens for multi-token workflows, GitHub App tokens, and cross-org access. See Creating additional clients with getOctokit for details and examples.
  • Orchestration ID in user-agent — The ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_ID environment variable is automatically appended to the user-agent string for request tracing.

Breaking changes:

  • require('@actions/github') no longer works in scripts. The upgrade to @actions/github v9 (ESM-only) means require('@actions/github') will fail at runtime. If you previously used patterns like const { getOctokit } = require('@actions/github') to create secondary clients, use the new injected getOctokit function instead — it's available directly in the script context with no imports needed.
  • getOctokit is now an injected function parameter. Scripts that declare const getOctokit = ... or let getOctokit = ... will get a SyntaxError because JavaScript does not allow const/let redeclaration of function parameters. Use the injected getOctokit directly, or use var getOctokit = ... if you need to redeclare it.
  • If your script accesses other @actions/github internals beyond the standard github/octokit client, you may need to update those references for v9 compatibility.

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 actions/download-artifact from 6.0.0 to 8.0.1

Release notes

Sourced from actions/download-artifact's releases.

v8.0.1

What's Changed

Full Changelog: actions/download-artifact@v8...v8.0.1

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.
