[Incident] [incident] Deployment to gh-aw-actions-release errored (Release run cancelled) #66309

Environment

gh-aw-actions-release — deployment 6896879941 ended in state error (ref main, sha 382f4b0), created by @pelikhan.

• Deployment status log: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/37540124998/job/112535206280
• Workflow run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/37540124998 (Release, workflow_dispatch)

Summary

The Release run was cancelled while the sync_actions job (which targets this environment) was in progress. The deployment went waiting at 22:34:43Z, then error at 22:57:25Z, which matches the run being cancelled at 22:57:24Z. The cause is a cancellation, not a code or build failure. No failed steps were found in any job.

Likely causes (not confirmed from available data):

• A manual cancel of the run.
• A concurrency group cancel by a newer run.
• Environment protection or approval timing out. The job sat about 23 minutes between the waiting status and cancellation.

Evidence

• Succeeded: Pre-activation, Activation, validate_container_pins, config, push_tag, defender, Conclusion.
• Cancelled: sync_actions, release, Agent, Safe outputs, Evaluations, comment_release_prs, Push evaluations state.
• gh run view --log-failed returned no failed-step logs.
• Impact: push_tag succeeded but sync_actions and release did not, so the release may be partial.

Suggested remediation

1. Check whether the tag from push_tag exists without a matching release or actions sync.
2. Confirm who or what cancelled run 37540124998 (audit log, concurrency settings in release.yml).
3. Check the gh-aw-actions-release environment protection rules and reviewer approvals for a stall.
4. Re-run the Release workflow, or clean up the partial tag first if needed.
