This PR simplifies prompt wording around Git usage now that ready_to_push_to_pr / ready_to_make_pr already enforce history and workflow-change guardrails.

What changed

  • Simplified push instructions in source workflow prompts to remove redundant “commit locally, then push” wording and keep action steps direct (Use \push_to_pull_request_branch` to push your changes`):
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-mention-in-pr.md
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-mention-in-pr-no-sandbox.md
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-review-addresser.md
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-actions-fixer.md
  • Softened merge-conflict guidance in the push fragment to avoid prescriptive command sequences while preserving required constraints (no git merge / git rebase, single-parent commits, run readiness check before push):
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-fragments/safe-output-push-to-pr.md
    • github/workflows/gh-aw-fragments/safe-output-push-to-pr.md
  • Recompiled corresponding lock files to keep generated workflows in sync with source prompt updates:
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-mention-in-pr.lock.yml
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-mention-in-pr-no-sandbox.lock.yml
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-mention-in-pr-by-id.lock.yml
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-review-addresser.lock.yml
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-actions-fixer.lock.yml

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR updates guidance text across multiple workflow configuration files and markdown documents to clarify merge conflict resolution procedures and streamline the push workflow. The changes replace references to specific git commands (git diff, git merge, git rebase) with more generalized instructions, remove contextual notes about workspace state, and consolidate multi-step push procedures into simpler sequences emphasizing the use of ready_to_push_to_pr before pushing. All modifications are textual; no functional logic or entity declarations are altered.
