v0.55.0
π Release Highlights
This release sharpens the developer experience with smarter error messages, a more reliable audit command, and automatic strict-mode enforcement for public repositories.
β¨ What's New
-
Automatic strict mode for public repositories β Lockdown validation now enforces
strict: trueautomatically for public repos, ensuring agentic workflows default to the safest configuration without requiring manual setup. (#19948) -
"Did you mean?" suggestions for permission typos β When a permission level is mistyped (e.g.,
riteinstead ofwrite), the compiler now surfaces a nearest-match suggestion for nested enum violations, making YAML configuration errors much faster to diagnose. (#19925)
π Bug Fixes & Improvements
-
gh aw auditnow surfaces##[error]annotations from flat log files β The audit command previously left theerrorsarray empty for failed runs when GitHub Actions stored logs in the flat per-job format (workflow-logs/{N}_{job_name}.txt). Error annotations are now correctly extracted regardless of log file layout. (#19923) -
CLI consistency fixes across 7 commands β A broken documentation URL in the
project newcommand and several medium/low severity inconsistencies surfaced by automated inspection have been resolved. (#19927)
π Documentation
- Environment variables reference updated β Documentation for
GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARYsupport in agent step summaries has been added. (#19928)
