[step-names] Align \"Set up\"/\"Check out\" step names with established one-word Setup/Checkout pattern #65755

Step Name Alignment Issues

Found via manifest scan of all .lock.yml step names (/tmp/gh-aw/agent/step-alignment-input.json).

The project uses one-word imperative forms Checkout <target> and Setup <component> consistently across ~300 compiled workflows (see glossary-aligned naming patterns tracked in cache memory, and prior accepted fix #30512 for the same Set up → Setup class). Three hand-authored custom-job steps deviate from this with the two-word verb phrases Check out / Set up.

1. [High Priority] .github/workflows/aw-issue-clustering.md:72 — Check out trusted reconciliation code

• Compiled: .github/workflows/aw-issue-clustering.lock.yml:1781
• Breaks the universal Checkout <target> pattern (e.g. "Checkout actions folder", "Checkout repository").
• Suggested: Checkout trusted reconciliation code

2. [High Priority] .github/workflows/aw-issue-clustering.md:76 — Set up safe-output helpers

• Compiled: .github/workflows/aw-issue-clustering.lock.yml:1788
• Breaks the universal Setup <component> pattern (e.g. "Setup Scripts", "Setup Python", "Setup Go").
• Suggested: Setup safe-output helpers (verb-form fix only; the safe-output singular/lowercase wording itself is a separate, already maintainer-rejected naming class — not re-raised here).

3. [Medium Priority] .github/workflows/daily-workflow-security-model.md:24 — Set up Go for the compiled-profile verifier

• Compiled: .github/workflows/daily-workflow-security-model.lock.yml:100024 (approx. line in compiled manifest)
• Same Set up → Setup verb-form deviation.
• Suggested: Setup Go for the compiled-profile verifier

Agentic Task Description

1. Edit each source .md file's name: field for the listed steps as shown above.
2. Run make recompile (or gh aw compile <workflow>.md) to regenerate the corresponding .lock.yml files.
3. Verify the compiled lock files now contain the one-word Checkout/Setup forms.

Priority

High for items 1–2 (hand-authored custom job steps diverging from the dominant pattern used in 44+ other workflows per precedent issue #30512, which was accepted and completed). Medium for item 3 (same class, lower-traffic workflow).
