[aw] Code Scanning Fixer finished without a terminal safe output #65927

Description

@github-actions

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Code Scanning Fixer
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/37360109926

Warning

Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.

Reasons:

  • missing_terminal_safe_output

    Agent finished without emitting a terminal safe output; task completion could not be confirmed.

Security Fix: Insecure temporary file

Alert Number: #1005
Severity: High
Rule: js/insecure-temporary-file
CWE: CWE-377, CWE-378

Location

  • File: scripts/pr-sous-chef.mjs
  • Line: 462

Fix Applied

The candidates file written under /tmp/gh-aw/agent now uses mode 0o600 and is opened with O_NOFOLLOW, so a pre-planted symlink can't redirect the write.

Testing Considerations

Run the PR Sous Chef prefilter script and confirm pr-sous-chef-candidates-compact.json is still written.

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.

Action Required

Assign this issue to an agent to debug and fix the issue.

Debug with any coding agent

Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.):

Debug the agentic workflow failure using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md

The failed workflow run is at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/37360109926
Manually invoke the agent

Debug this workflow failure using your favorite Agent CLI and the agentic-workflows prompt.

Tip

Stop reporting this workflow as a failure

To stop a workflow from creating failure issues, set report-failure-as-issue: false in its frontmatter:

safe-outputs:
  report-failure-as-issue: false
