Research direction

Read .github/workflows/daily-doc-updater.md, focusing on Steps 1b and 1c. Check how those steps currently classify closed documentation issues, then add the proposed external/non-docs-path category before the site-build/UI check. Done means the wording explains when to skip and how to record the target path in Skipped Issues.

Description

automation doc-healer documentation
Overview

No documentation content gaps were found this run. All 18 issues labeled documentation and closed in the last 7 days (2026-10-23 through 2026-10-30) are automated reports from other agentic workflows in this repo, not user-filed doc bugs. Cross-referencing confirmed:

  • The one real code-driven drift (#72913, duplicated by #72624 - Copilot web-fetch/web-search offline-mode rejection and missing tools.bash under min-integrity: none) was already fixed by merged PR #72930 (Document common workflow compatibility fixes after upgrading, merged by pelikhan). No further action needed.
  • #72701's claimed --pr-message Options-line gap no longer exists: docs/src/content/docs/setup/cli.md already lists --pr-message in the Options line for init, add, add-wizard, update, upgrade, and deploy.
  • #70893 explicitly states "Documentation drift: none found"; its flag-naming nitpicks (--timeout units, lint --json lacking -j) are CLI-behavior inconsistencies already called out in cli.md (e.g. line 503), not missing docs.
  • #72330 (Multi-Device Docs Tester: missing .hamburger-btn/.tablet-dropdown at <=1050px) is site-build/UI and has been added to the site-build-ui-issues cache-memory skip list.
Systemic gap identified

DDUw's Step 1c classification (.github/workflows/daily-doc-updater.md) only distinguishes two buckets for closed documentation issues: site-build/UI (out of scope) vs. in-scope content gap. There is a third recurring category DDUw has no classification for: automated report issues whose proposed fix target is outside docs/src/content/docs/ entirely - not a site-build/UI concern, just a different repo (or different file) than DDUw edits. These recur daily and burn analysis cycles with no path to resolution or explicit skip-logging.

Examples from this run (8+ recurring instances)
  • [github-docs-seo] baseline reports (8 closed in the last 7 days: #72864, #72576, #72319, #72010, #71819, #71560, #71348, #71041) propose adding AW cross-links to docs.github.com pages (e.g. "Events that trigger workflows", "Deploying with GitHub Actions") - content this repository does not own or edit.
  • [workflow-style] normalization reports (#72980) propose edits to .github/workflows/*.md agentic-workflow prompt files - a different Markdown corpus than docs/src/content/docs/, already owned by the workflow-normalizer workflow itself.
  • [mcp-tools] mapping reports (#71906) propose edits to .github/aw/github-mcp-server-tools.md and .github/aw/github-mcp-server.md - reference files outside docs/src/content/docs/.
Suggested DDUw change

In Step 1c (and Step 1b), add a third classification before the site-build/UI check:

External/non-docs-path (out of scope): If the issue's proposed fix location is not under docs/src/content/docs/ and is not a site-build/UI concern - e.g. a docs.github.com URL, a .github/workflows/.md prompt file, or a .github/aw/.md reference file - classify it as out of scope. Record it in the Skipped Issues section as #NNN - external/non-docs-path: target is <path>, not docs/src/content/docs and skip all further analysis for this issue.

This gives DDUw (and this doc-healer companion) an explicit, loggable skip path instead of silently re-analyzing the same ~10 recurring automated reports every day.

Next actions
  • Maintainer: review and apply the Step 1c wording change to .github/workflows/daily-doc-updater.md if agreed.
  • No PR needed this run - no confirmed docs/src/content/docs gap exists today.
