Disable daily AI credits guardrail for Expert Code Review workflow

[Copilot]

The Expert Code Review (command) agentic workflow hit its per-workflow daily AI Credits guardrail (5.7K used vs. the 5K default cap), blocking /review runs until the 24h window resets. Per the remediation steps in the failure issue, disable the guardrail for this workflow.

Context

• The guardrail is a per-workflow 24h AIC spending cap defaulting to 5K (GH_AW_DEFAULT_MAX_DAILY_AI_CREDITS).
• This workflow is slash-command triggered (/review), so runs are already opt-in and bounded by the shared PAT pool budget, making the fixed daily cap unnecessarily restrictive.

Changes Made

• review.agent.md: added max-daily-ai-credits: -1 to the frontmatter to explicitly disable the guardrail.
• review.agent.lock.yml: regenerated via gh aw compile (v0.79.8), removing the guardrail wiring:
  • activation-job Check daily workflow token guardrail step, its GH_AW_MAX_DAILY_AI_CREDITS env, and daily_ai_credits_* outputs
  • daily_ai_credits_exceeded gating on the agent and conclusion jobs, plus the safe-output-artifact-client condition and GH_AW_DAILY_AI_CREDITS_* conclusion env
  • updated frontmatter_hash metadata to match the new source

timeout-minutes: 60

max-daily-ai-credits: -1

Testing

• Regenerated the lock file with the pinned compiler; confirmed the diff against the original is limited strictly to guardrail wiring plus the frontmatter hash, and the result is valid YAML.

Notes

• Scoped to review.agent only; other agentic workflows retain the default cap.
• The lock file was regenerated offline by building gh-aw@v0.79.8 from source (the gh aw extension cannot be installed in the sandbox); a maintainer re-running gh aw compile should produce an identical result.

Hello @copilot, I noticed that you’re changing an .swr file or any file under src/Package/MSBuild.VSSetup.. Please make sure to validate this change by an experimental VS insertion. This is accomplished by pushing to an exp/* branch, which requires write permissions to this repo.

@ViktorHofer let's do either this PR or set the GH_AW_DEFAULT_MAX_DAILY_AI_CREDITS repo variable to something higher like 100000
we're hitting this every day

Cool, I didn't know about this credits cap. Thanks

Pull request overview

Disables the per-workflow 24h “daily AI Credits” spending cap for the Expert Code Review (command) slash-command workflow (/review), addressing the guardrail exhaustion reported in #14312 by explicitly opting out via frontmatter and updating the compiled lock workflow accordingly.

Changes:

• Add max-daily-ai-credits: -1 to review.agent.md frontmatter to disable the per-workflow daily AI Credits guardrail.
• Regenerate review.agent.lock.yml to remove the guardrail job wiring (activation guardrail step, related outputs/env, and downstream gating).
