[WIP] Fix missing GitHub Project URL in workflow#12809
Closed
Conversation
This ensures that the missing_data handler and other non-project safe outputs can access the default project URL when a workflow has a project configured in frontmatter. Previously, GH_AW_PROJECT_URL was only available to project-specific handlers (update_project, create_project_status_update).

Fix missing GH_AW_PROJECT_URL for missing_data handler ✅
Problem
The
missing_datasafe output handler doesn't have access toGH_AW_PROJECT_URLenvironment variable when the workflow has aproject:configured in frontmatter. This caused issues when the agent tried to record missing data about the GitHub Project URL itself, as described in workflow run: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw/actions/runs/21527086220/job/62033708029Root Cause
GH_AW_PROJECT_URLwas only added to the "Process Project-Related Safe Outputs" step but NOT to the "Process Safe Outputs" step wheremissing_data(and other non-project safe outputs) are handled.Solution
GH_AW_PROJECT_URLto the main safe outputs handler stepChanges Made
GH_AW_PROJECT_URLenvironment variable to thebuildHandlerManagerStepfunction (lines 185-191), making it available to all safe output handlersGH_AW_PROJECT_URLis included when a workflow has a project configured.github/workflows/dependabot-burner.lock.ymlto include the new environment variable in the "Process Safe Outputs" stepImpact
missing_datahandler can now properly reference the project URL when recording missing dataVerification
