[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/28113666462

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 extension binary is missing from ~/.local/share/gh/extensions/gh-aw/ (directory exists but is empty). Network access is restricted (Forbidden) preventing download of the extension. Without gh aw upgrade and gh aw compile, the nightly workflow upgrade cannot proceed.

  Steps attempted:

1. gh aw version → "failed to run extension: fork/exec /home/runner/.local/share/gh/extensions/gh-aw/gh-aw: no such file or directory"
2. gh extension list → shows no extensions installed
3. Directory ~/.local/share/gh/extensions/gh-aw/ exists but is empty
4. gh extension install github/gh-aw → "failed to download asset linux-amd64: Forbidden" (network restriction)
5. GitHub MCP tools cannot list releases due to integrity policy filtering all release resources

The gh-aw extension must be pre-installed in the runner environment for this workflow to function. The network restriction prevents installing it at runtime.

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.
