/ai Debug the agentic workflow failure using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md

The failed workflow run is at https://github.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/actions/runs/33771037922

Then create a plan what's needed to be done

[github-actions]

Root cause found: the run failed because the agent never emitted any safe-output transaction, so the workflow treated it as a failure.

Evidence from the failed job logs (run / agent in run 33771037922):

• Output file does not exist: /home/runner/work/_temp/gh-aw/safeoutputs/outputs.jsonl — no safe-output items were emitted
• Stored empty collection to: /tmp/gh-aw/agent_output.json
• No agent log artifacts were produced (No log files found in directory: /tmp/gh-aw/sandbox/agent/logs/)

This is consistent with the standard gh-aw failure mode where the assistant exits without calling one of the allowed safe-output tools (add_comment, create_issue, create_pull_request, missing_tool, missing_data, or noop).

Plan to fix

1. Enforce terminal safe-output in the prompt for this workflow so the final step explicitly requires: “before finishing, call a safe-output tool; if no write action is needed, call noop.”
2. Harden issue-assistant instructions to require add_comment for debugging/analysis-only requests (like this one), with noop as fallback only when commenting is impossible.
3. Add a regression check in workflow authoring/tests that fails early if prompts for issue workflows omit explicit safe-output terminal-action language.
4. Re-run the workflow on this issue after prompt update to confirm it now posts the analysis comment instead of failing on empty outputs.

If you want, I can prepare the prompt/workflow patch next (source .md workflow files only; lock files will be regenerated via compile).
