[P1] Daily Issues Report Generator: 121+ consecutive failures (lockdown token)

[github-actions]

Workflow Failure — Long-Running P1

Workflow: Daily Issues Report Generator
File: .github/workflows/daily-issues-report.md
Latest run: #22604788496 (run #121)
Failure streak: 121+ consecutive failures (since workflow was first deployed)

Failure Pattern

The Daily Issues Report Generator fails on every scheduled run (daily at ~02:00 UTC) due to the same lockdown token issue affecting other workflows in this repository:

• Root cause: lockdown: true in workflow configuration requires GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN secret
• Error: Lockdown check fails — token not provisioned
• Duration: 121+ consecutive days of failures

Impact

• Zero successful runs — the workflow has never produced output
• Daily issues analytics not being generated
• Visibility gap — no automated daily summary of repository issue activity

Related Issues

This is part of the systemic lockdown token problem:

• [P1] Lockdown mode failing: GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN not configured — 5 workflows affected #17414 — Add GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN → CLOSED "not_planned"
• [q] fix(workflows): remove explicit lockdown:true to stop recurring failures #17807 — Remove lockdown: true from workflows → CLOSED "not_planned"
• [aw] Issue Monster failed #18919 — Issue Monster failing (same root cause) — OPEN
• [aw] PR Triage Agent failed #18952 — PR Triage Agent failing (same root cause) — OPEN

Possible Resolutions

Since both programmatic fix paths are closed, options remaining:

1. Manual admin action: Provision GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN secret with appropriate scopes
2. Disable workflow: If the workflow is not expected to work without the token, disable or archive it
3. Redesign workflow: Remove the lockdown: true requirement if the workflow can function with standard GITHUB_TOKEN
