The latest Tutorial Update Monitor failures were caused by Copilot CLI running without authentication inside the awf sandbox. Although COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN was set in job env, it was explicitly stripped before process execution.

  • Root cause

    • awf command excluded COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN, so the sandboxed copilot process could not authenticate (Error: No authentication information found.).
  • Change applied

    • Removed --exclude-env COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN from both workflow execution paths in tutorial-update-monitor.lock.yml:
      • main agent execution
      • detection execution
  • Behavioral impact

    • Keeps token propagation for sandboxed Copilot CLI runs while preserving other environment exclusions.
# before
... --env-all --exclude-env COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN --exclude-env GITHUB_MCP_SERVER_TOKEN ...

# after
... --env-all --exclude-env GITHUB_MCP_SERVER_TOKEN ...

@copilot i wanted you to fix the workflow based off the logs

Fixed in 9a2b7ce. The logs showed the agent ran and found issues but finished without calling any safe output tool — neither create_issue nor noop. The noop instruction was buried in the Guidelines section and easy for the agent to overlook.

The fix adds a mandatory Step 6 at the end of the workflow prompt that explicitly requires the agent to call either create_issue (for new findings) or noop (if all findings were duplicates or nothing was found) before finishing. The Guidelines section now also states clearly that finishing without calling either is an error.

Since the .lock.yml imports the .md prompt at runtime, this change takes effect on the next run without needing to regenerate the lock file.
