Three categories of step name inconsistencies in compiler-generated and source workflows: wrong terminology ("agent" vs "agentic"), wrong verb ("Setup" vs "Write") for file-writing steps, and a misleading step name in release.md.

Compiler changes

  • compiler_activation_job.go / compiler_unlock_job.go: "agent workflow""agentic workflow" in lock/unlock step names (glossary alignment)
  • mcp_setup_generator.go: "Setup MCP Scripts Config" / "Setup MCP Scripts Tool Files""Write MCP Scripts Config" / "Write MCP Scripts Tool Files" (both steps write files via heredoc, consistent with Write Safe Outputs Config)

Source workflow change

  • release.md line 197: "Notify - run sync actions and merge PR""Display release sync instructions" (step writes to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, not a notification)

All 173 workflows recompiled.

Pull request overview

Standardizes human-readable GitHub Actions step names in generated workflows (e.g., “Write …” instead of “Setup …”, and “agentic workflow” wording), and updates the committed lockfile workflows/docs accordingly.

Changes:

  • Renamed MCP scripts steps from “Setup …” to “Write …” in the workflow generator output.
  • Renamed lock/unlock issue step names to use “agentic workflow” terminology.
  • Renamed the release workflow “Notify …” step to “Display release sync instructions” and updated the release lock metadata.
