Persona evaluations found recurring gaps in clarifying ambiguous scope and recommending replacement behavior. This updates workflow guidance to make those decisions explicit and to scope network access for artifact-based fallbacks.

  • Clarify ambiguity: Ask 1–2 targeted questions when terms like “completed” or “threshold” could change trigger or output recommendations.
  • Replace stale results: Recommend closing superseded digest issues or hiding older PR comments when the latest result is authoritative.
  • Scope fallback networking: Distinguish GitHub Actions artifact access from package-registry access required to recompute results.

#### Choose the previous-result strategy

For every daily or scheduled workflow that creates issues or pull requests, choose the strategy that best matches the workflow's goal:
For recurring or PR-reactive workflows that create visible outputs, choose the strategy that best matches the workflow's goal:

When a recurring digest or PR-reactive update is superseded by the newest result, prefer replacing the prior output instead of accumulating stale results:

- For recurring issue digests, use `create-issue` with `close-older-issues: true`.
