Simulated Repository Description
Simulated a tiny repository (0 declared files) with shallow history depth (5 commits), single file (1 file), medium patch (200 KB target), ahead branch state, single commit structure. create_pull_request was called first and succeeded. A follow-up commit was then added to the same local branch and push_to_pull_request_branch was attempted to complete the "ahead" scenario, but it failed on two sequential required-field errors before the 2-attempt recovery limit was reached.

Observed Failure
Two sequential push_to_pull_request_branch calls failed with different required-field errors:
- Without
repo: push_to_pull_request_branch requires repo when safe-outputs.push-to-pull-request-branch.target is '*'. Provide repo and retry.
- With
repo: "github/gh-aw" added, still without pull_request_number: push_to_pull_request_branch requires pull_request_number when safe-outputs.push-to-pull-request-branch.target is '*'. Provide pull_request_number and retry.
The preceding create_pull_request call returned {"result":"success","patch":{"path":"...","size":211943,"lines":2752},"bundle":{"path":"...","size":158898}} — no PR number or any PR identifier is present in this response, only local patch/bundle file paths and sizes.
🔍 Full Observations
create_pull_request succeeded on the first call with no retries needed.- The actual
create_pull_request tool response contains no field identifying the resulting PR (no pull_request_number, number, url, or similar) — only patch and bundle file metadata.
- This workflow's own Step 9 instructions for BRANCH=ahead say to target "the PR just created (use the PR number returned from step 1)" — but step 1's real response has no such field to read.
create_pull_request's own tool schema exposes a temporary_id option (not used in this call, since the workflow's instructions did not call for setting it), which is described elsewhere in this run's tool documentation as a same-run cross-reference mechanism for "future resources created by safe outputs."- Because
create_pull_request succeeds at most once per run (a previously documented finding), there was no way to retry the initial call with a temporary_id set after the missing field was discovered — the omission cannot be corrected within the same run.
- The local git-level measurements for this cell (patch size, file count, commit count) are unaffected by this finding and are all well within configured caps (5120 KB / 200 files); this is a chaining/identifier-availability gap between the two tools, not a git-size boundary issue.
