Research direction

Read the workflow markdown sources and the corresponding lock files, then find the repository wrapper used to recompile workflows. Run it across all workflows and commit the generated lock file changes. Confirm the drift check passes and the out-of-sync detection no longer reproduces; inspect merged changes for where recompilation was skipped.

Description

agentic-workflows automation aw-essential cookie

Priority 1/10 | 2 source issues | Impact 4/5 | Confidence 4/5 | Effort 1/5

One assignment, one coherent fix

Lock files are out of sync with their markdown sources, which fails the CI drift job on main and triggers repeated out-of-sync issues.

Implementation scope

Recompile all workflows with the repository wrapper, commit the lock files, and identify which merged change skipped recompilation so it does not recur.

Done when
  • The drift check job passes on main.
  • The out-of-sync detection issue no longer reproduces.
Why now

The CI audit shows four consecutive failing push runs with the same failing step, and the fix is a mechanical recompile.

No corroborating AW discussion; evidence comes from the source issues.

Unchanged AW sources close only after this summary is completed. Newer source activity and not-planned retirement do not trigger source closure. Assigned summaries are frozen; unassign to allow reclustering.
