This is a structured incompletion signal (report_incomplete), not a real task outcome. Any other safe outputs emitted alongside this signal (e.g., comments) describe the failure state, not a completed review or action.

The pre-PR targets scope formatting, linting, tests, and workflow drift checks to the branch changes.\n\n> **Timeout budget:** `make agent-report-progress` should normally finish in under 30 seconds. Workflow source or compiler changes additionally run the full workflow drift check. Set `TEST_UNIT_RUN_FULL=1` only when the full Go suite is required.\n\n### Change-type command matrix\n\n- Go file changes: `make fmt`\n- Workflow markdown changes: `make recompile`\n- JavaScript (`*.cjs`) changes: `make fmt-cjs && make lint-cjs`\n\n### Common focused checks from recent repository work\n\n- `pkg/workflow/` edits: run `go test ./pkg/workflow -count=1` during iteration; narrow with `-run` when only one workflow behavior is under active change.\n- `actions/setup/js/` edits: after `make fmt-cjs && make lint-cjs`, run the targeted `actions/setup/js/*.test.cjs` suites for the files you touched. Gateway changes commonly validate with `npx vitest run actions/setup/js/start_mcp_gateway.test.cjs`.\n- Workflow source changes that also touch compiler or runtime code: run `make recompile`, then rerun the affected focused Go or JavaScript checks before the final `make agent-report-progress`.\n\n### Merge-main playbook\n\nWhen explicitly asked to merge main:\n\n1. Run `make merge-main`.\n2. If conflicts exist in `.go` or `.cjs`, resolve and stage files.\n3. Run:\n   ```bash\n   make build\n   make recompile\n   git commit\n   make fmt\n   ```\n\n## Capitalization Guidelines\n\nThe gh-aw CLI follows context-based capitalization to distinguish between the product name and generic workflow references.\n\n### Capitalization Rules\n\n| Context | Format | Example |\n|---------|--------|---------|\n| Product name | **Capitalized** | \"GitHub Agentic Workflows CLI from GitHub Next\" |\n| Generic workflows | **Lowercase** | \"Enable agentic workflows\" |\n| Technical terms | **Capitalized** | \"Compile Markdown workflows to GitHub Actions YAML\" |\n\nThis convention distinguishes between the product name (GitHub Agentic Workflows) and the concept (agentic workflows), following industry standards similar to \"GitHub Actions\" vs. \"actions\".\n\n### Implementation\n\nThe capitalization rules are enforced through automated tests in `cmd/gh-aw/capitalization_test.go` that run as part of the standard test suite.\n\n\n\n## Sub-Skills\n\nThe following sub-skills cover specific areas of the codebase. Load them lazily when the task requires the specific domain:\n\n| Sub-skill | When to use |\n|-----------|-------------|\n| `.github/skills/developer-code-organization/SKILL.md` | Creating new files, refactoring, WASM stubs, file size decisions |\n| `.github/skills/developer-security/SKILL.md` | Implementing new features, reviewing for security, template injection concerns |\n| `.github/skills/developer-internals/SKILL.md` | Working on compiler internals, validation, safe outputs, MCP server, schema changes |\n| `.github/skills/developer-release/SKILL.md` | Creating a release, evaluating breaking changes, firewall log analysis |\n[info] [safeoutputs] Bridge invoked: argumentCount=0\n[info] [safeoutputs] Showing top-level help (5 tools)\nUsage: safeoutputs <command> [--param value ...]\nTip: safeoutputs <command> --help\n\nCommands (5):\n  create_pull_request, missing_data, missing_tool, noop, report_incomplete\n","exit_code":0,"status":"completed"}}
