[refactoring] Extract daily audit discussion configuration into shared component

[github-actions]

Skill Overview

44 workflows share an identical safe-outputs configuration pattern for creating daily audit discussions. Extracting this into a parametrized shared component (shared/daily-audit-discussion.md) would eliminate ~8–10 lines of repetitive configuration per workflow, saving ~400 lines across the codebase and creating a single source of truth for audit discussion hygiene settings.

Current Pattern

Every affected workflow manually repeats this block:

safe-outputs:
  upload-asset:            # (some workflows include this)
  create-discussion:
    expires: 3d            # varies: 1d or 3d
    category: "audits"
    title-prefix: "[some-title] "   # varies per workflow
    max: 1
    close-older-discussions: true
  close-discussion:
    max: 10                # (some workflows include this)

Proposed Shared Component

File: .github/workflows/shared/daily-audit-discussion.md

---
# Daily Audit Discussion Configuration
# Provides standardized safe-outputs config for workflows that publish daily audit discussions.
#
# Usage:
#   imports:
#     - uses: shared/daily-audit-discussion.md
#       with:
#         title-prefix: "[my-workflow] "
#         expires: 3d          # optional, default: 3d
#         upload-asset: true   # optional, default: false

import-schema:
  title-prefix:
    type: string
    required: true
    description: "Title prefix for created discussions, e.g. '[daily-report] '"
  expires:
    type: string
    default: "3d"
    description: "How long to keep discussions before expiry (e.g. 1d, 3d, 7d)"
  upload-asset:
    type: boolean
    default: false
    description: "Whether to enable asset uploads (for chart images)"

safe-outputs:
  upload-asset: $\{\{ github.aw.import-inputs.upload-asset }}
  create-discussion:
    expires: $\{\{ github.aw.import-inputs.expires }}
    category: "audits"
    title-prefix: $\{\{ github.aw.import-inputs.title-prefix }}
    max: 1
    close-older-discussions: true
  close-discussion:
    max: 10

Usage Example:

# In daily-secrets-analysis.md
imports:
  - uses: shared/daily-audit-discussion.md
    with:
      title-prefix: "[daily secrets] "
      expires: 3d
      upload-asset: false

Impact

• Workflows affected: 44 workflows
• Lines saved: ~350–440 lines (8–10 lines per workflow)
• Maintenance benefit: A single place to update audit discussion policy (expiry, category, max) across all daily reports. No more forgetting close-older-discussions: true in new workflows.

Implementation Plan

1. Create shared component at .github/workflows/shared/daily-audit-discussion.md
2. Migrate high-volume workflows first (daily-* series, ~20 workflows)
3. Migrate remaining 24 workflows
4. Recompile all affected workflows with make recompile
5. Test 2–3 affected workflows
6. Update documentation
