Problem

The Firewall Issue Dispatcher workflow was generating malformed URLs when commenting on github/gh-aw issues. Instead of:

🔗 AWF tracking issue: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/issues/1896

It generated:

🔗 AWF tracking issue: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/issues/github/gh-aw-firewall#1896

See: github/gh-aw#25593 (comment)

The AI agent confused URL path format with GitHub's cross-repo reference format (owner/repo#number), embedding the repo name and # in the URL path.

Changes

  1. Made the URL template more explicit — Changed NUMBER to {NUMBER} placeholder with clear instructions that only the numeric issue number should be substituted, and explicitly prohibiting repository names, hash symbols, or any other text in the URL path.

  2. Improved already-audited detection — Updated the comment-scanning pattern to also match GitHub cross-repo references (github/gh-aw-firewall#) in addition to full URLs, so previously-processed issues with either format are correctly detected and skipped.

  3. Recompiled lock.yml — Regenerated via gh aw compile + post-processing.

Pull request overview

Updates the Firewall Issue Dispatcher workflow prompt to prevent malformed cross-repo tracking issue links when commenting on github/gh-aw issues, and regenerates the compiled lock workflow.

Changes:

  • Tightens “already audited” detection to match both full URLs and owner/repo# cross-repo references.
  • Makes the tracking-issue URL template explicit with a {NUMBER} placeholder and rules for substituting only the numeric ID.
  • Recompiled the workflow lock file (and updated the scheduled cron minute).

File Description
.github/workflows/firewall-issue-dispatcher.md Prompt edits for audited-detection and explicit tracking-issue URL formatting (but currently drops the “create tracking issue” step and has numbering inconsistencies).
.github/workflows/firewall-issue-dispatcher.lock.yml Regenerated compiled workflow; cron minute changed while keeping 6h cadence.

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

.github/workflows/firewall-issue-dispatcher.md:84

  • The step numbering/headers are inconsistent after the edit (e.g., Step 3 contains an item labeled "4.", and "### 4. Report Results" appears under Step 3). This can confuse the agent and increases the chance it will skip required actions; renumber the steps and headings to be sequential and consistent.
## Step 3: Create Tracking Issues

For each **unprocessed** issue:

4. **Comment on the original `github/gh-aw` issue** linking to the newly created tracking issue. Use this exact format:

   > 🔗 AWF tracking issue: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/issues/{NUMBER}

   where `{NUMBER}` is replaced with **only the numeric issue number** (e.g., `1896`). Do NOT include the repository name, hash symbols, or any other text — just the number in the URL path. Use the `add_comment` safe output tool with `repo: "github/gh-aw"` and the original issue number.

### 4. Report Results

Report: issues found, skipped (already audited), tracking issues created.
  • Files reviewed: 2/2 changed files
  • Comments generated: 2

Comment on lines 72 to +80
## Step 3: Create Tracking Issues

For each **unprocessed** issue:

1. **Create a tracking issue in `github/gh-aw-firewall`** with:
- Title: `[awf] <component>: <summary>`
- Body: **Problem**, **Context** (link to original), **Root Cause**, **Proposed Solution**
- Reference specific source files. See `AGENTS.md` for component descriptions.
4. **Comment on the original `github/gh-aw` issue** linking to the newly created tracking issue. Use this exact format:

2. **Comment on the original `github/gh-aw` issue**:
> 🔗 AWF tracking issue: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/issues/NUMBER
> 🔗 AWF tracking issue: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/issues/{NUMBER}

## Step 4: Summarize
where `{NUMBER}` is replaced with **only the numeric issue number** (e.g., `1896`). Do NOT include the repository name, hash symbols, or any other text — just the number in the URL path. Use the `add_comment` safe output tool with `repo: "github/gh-aw"` and the original issue number.

In Step 3, the instructions for actually creating the tracking issue in github/gh-aw-firewall were removed, but the workflow still claims it "creates tracking issues" and the safe-outputs include create-issue. As written, the agent is only instructed to comment on the original issue, which will prevent tracking issues from being created. Restore the explicit "create tracking issue" step (title/body/labels + use create_issue safe output) before the comment step.

This issue also appears on line 72 of the same file.

The cron schedule minute changed from "11" to "20" (still every 6 hours). This behavioral change isn’t mentioned in the PR description; confirm it’s intentional and, if so, document it in the PR description (or revert if it was an accidental change from recompile/postprocess).
