[aw] Nightly Workflow Upgrader reported incomplete result

[github-actions]

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Nightly Workflow Upgrader
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-mcpg/actions/runs/28294384325

Warning

Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.

Reasons:

• The gh aw CLI extension binary is not installed (/home/runner/.local/share/gh/extensions/gh-aw/gh-aw does not exist). Attempts to auto-install it failed with "Forbidden" from release-assets.githubusercontent.com (network policy blocks GitHub release asset downloads). Without gh aw upgrade or gh aw compile, the nightly workflow upgrade cannot proceed. Docker-in-Docker is also disabled, ruling out container-based workarounds.

  Steps attempted:

1. gh aw version → tried to auto-install, got HTTP 403 from release-assets.githubusercontent.com
2. GH_TOKEN=dummy gh aw version → confirmed: "failed to run extension: fork/exec /home/runner/.local/share/gh/extensions/gh-aw/gh-aw: no such file or directory"
3. Searched /usr, /opt/hostedtoolcache, /home/runner for gh-aw binary → not found
4. Checked /home/runner/work/_temp/gh-aw/ → contains only GitHub Actions support scripts (CJS), not the standalone CLI
5. GitHub MCP latest-release query filtered (integrity policy) — latest release appears to be v0.80.9 based on filter error message
6. Current lock file compiler versions: v0.79.6, v0.79.8, v0.80.6 — some are behind latest
7. Docker daemon unavailable: awf version fails with "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon"

The gh aw upgrade command requires the gh-aw extension binary which must be pre-installed in the runner environment before the agent session begins.

This is a structured incompletion signal (report_incomplete), not a real task outcome. Any other safe outputs emitted alongside this signal (e.g., comments) describe the failure state, not a completed review or action.
