fix: remove agent manifest files from activation job sparse checkout by Copilot · Pull Request #26483 · github/gh-aw

Copilot · 2026-04-15T19:01:23Z

Summary

Removes root instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md) from the sparse checkout in the activation job, while keeping the engine-specific config directories (.claude, .codex, .gemini).

Problem

The activation job's sparse checkout was unnecessarily including root instruction files. These are not needed during activation — the activation job only needs .github, .agents, and engine-specific config directories for workflow configurations and runtime imports. Including the root instruction files was adding noise to the shallow fetch-depth: 1 checkout.

Reference: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/24471291565/job/71511943549#step:6:1

Changes

pkg/workflow/compiler_activation_job.go: Removed GetAllAgentManifestFiles() from extraPaths in generateCheckoutGitHubFolderForActivation. Engine-specific config directories from GetAllAgentManifestFolders() are retained. Updated comments and log messages to reflect the narrower scope.
pkg/workflow/testdata/TestWasmGolden_CompileFixtures/basic-copilot.golden: Updated wasm golden fixture to remove root instruction file entries from the sparse-checkout section.
pkg/workflow/testdata/TestWasmGolden_CompileFixtures/with-imports.golden: Same as above.
.github/workflows/*.lock.yml: Recompiled all 191 workflow lock files to reflect the updated sparse checkout.

Notes

The Save agent config folders for base branch restoration step in the activation job still passes the full registry lists (GH_AW_AGENT_FOLDERS, GH_AW_AGENT_FILES) to the save script — but since the root instruction files are no longer checked out, save_base_github_folders.sh will gracefully skip them with "not found in workspace, skipping". The agent job's restore step is unchanged.

Done in fbfa3e3 — kept the engine-specific config directories (.claude, .codex, .gemini) in the sparse checkout, removed only the root instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md).

Pull request overview

Removes root instruction files (e.g., AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md) from the generated sparse-checkout list used by the activation job, while retaining engine-specific config directories (e.g., .claude, .codex, .gemini) and updating generated fixtures/lockfiles accordingly.

Changes:

Updated activation-job checkout generation to stop appending agent manifest files to extraPaths, keeping only manifest folders (plus actions/setup in dev mode).
Updated WASM golden fixtures to match the new sparse-checkout YAML output.
Regenerated workflow lockfiles to remove the root instruction file entries from the sparse-checkout block.

@copilot merge main and recompile

Done in 7bfca3a — merged main, resolved the conflict in compiler_activation_job.go (keeping our logic of excluding root instruction files while using getActionPin from main), and recompiled all 191 workflows.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
