Summary

Latest release: v0.86.2 (2026-08-11). Two prior sync PRs (#52677, #52262) already covered most drift since then. This PR closes the remaining small gap: 3 commits touched .github/aw/ or docs/ after the last sync (04:38 UTC today) that were not yet reflected:

  • 80207fc Remove Pydantic engine and smoke workflow — verified: no .github/aw/*.md file referenced Pydantic, no action needed.
  • d191c58 / ab08a93 — GitHub Actions version bumps and a digest-pin removal, both confined to .github/aw/actions-lock.json (a generated data file, not instruction prose) — no action needed.
  • 595e472 docs: add glossary entries for watchdog, harness retry, MCP partial results, init flags — watchdog/harness-retry were already documented in syntax-engine.md; two gaps remained and are fixed here.
  • 82e5b12 safe-outputs spec bump to 1.28.3 — editorial-only (added a scratchpad-removal tracking link), no normative change, no instruction update needed.

Changes

  • .github/aw/cli-commands.md: gh aw init section now documents that the custom agent (.github/agents/agentic-workflows.md) and MCP server integration are Copilot-engine-only artifacts, and lists --no-mcp/--no-agent to skip them.
  • .github/aw/agentic-workflows-mcp.md: logs tool reference now notes the partial: true response pattern (gateway timeout / token budget guardrail) and that callers should reissue with after_run_id/before_run_id to continue.

Audits performed

  • Release/change audit: compared .github/aw/ and docs/ commits since v0.86.2, isolated to commits after the last sync PR.
  • Size audit: wc -l .github/aw/*.md — all files under their target limits (largest is github-mcp-server.md at 390 lines). No file crossed 400 lines before or after this change.
  • Duplication audit: no new duplication introduced; both edits are one-line additions to their single canonical file.
  • Accuracy audit: checked pkg/workflow/compiler_types.go, pkg/workflow/safe_outputs_config.go, pkg/parser/schemas/main_workflow_schema.json for changes since the last sync — none found, so no safe-outputs/schema instruction updates were needed.

Before/after line counts

File Before After
.github/aw/cli-commands.md 295 298
.github/aw/agentic-workflows-mcp.md 45 47

Both remain well under the 400-line target.

[instructions] Sync instruction files with release v0.86.2
eac3cbb 
Fill two small documentation gaps left after the prior sync (#52677, #52262):
- cli-commands.md: document `gh aw init` Copilot-only artifacts and
  `--no-mcp`/`--no-agent` flags (docs commit 08a03b6, previously undocumented here)
- agentic-workflows-mcp.md: note the `logs` tool's `partial: true` /
  continuation-parameter response pattern for gateway timeouts (docs commit 595e472)

Thanks for keeping the instructions in sync with the release! 🧹

This PR looks great:

  • Clear scope: Updates two instruction files with release v0.86.2 documentation—exactly one thing.
  • Well documented: The PR body is thorough with audits performed (release/change, size, duplication, accuracy), before/after line counts, and explicit rationale for what did not need updates.
  • Appropriately sized: 9 total lines changed across two files.

The PR is ready for review.

Re-ran pr-finisher on unchanged HEAD eac3cbb. The latest base is already an ancestor, no reviews or review threads remain, completed checks succeeded, and the three action_required runs contain zero jobs or failed logs. Refreshed format, lint, full test, recompile, final progress, secret, and security checks passed; no changes were needed.
