Research direction
Open .github/workflows/daily-secrets-analysis.md and compare its tools frontmatter and prompt with cli-version-checker.md or sibling daily-audit workflows. Add the cache-memory configuration and the requested daily-metrics persistence and prior-day trend instruction, then run make recompile. Done means the workflow contains the configuration and prompt changes and recompiles successfully.

Description
Description
.github/workflows/daily-secrets-analysis.md has no cache-memory tool configured (confirmed via direct read — no cache-memory key anywhere in its frontmatter). Its own generated report explicitly recommends "Persist daily stats (e.g. cache-memory) to enable trend comparison; none was available today," but the workflow can't act on that recommendation without the config. Other workflows in this repo (e.g. cli-version-checker.md) already use the simple cache-memory: true form successfully.
Add cache-memory: true to the workflow's tools: block, and add a short step in the prompt instructing the agent to write that day's summary metrics (total secrets references, unique secret types, redaction/permission-block counts) to /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/ and read the prior day's file back for a day-over-day trend line in the report.
Expected Impact
Turns a currently point-in-time daily report into a trend-tracking one, matching the pattern already used by several sibling daily-audit workflows — lets future runs flag actual regressions (e.g. a sudden drop in redaction coverage) instead of only reporting the current snapshot.
Suggested Agent
GitHub Copilot coding agent (workflow frontmatter + prompt edit, then make recompile).
Estimated Effort
Quick (< 1 hour)
