🌟 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.

✨ What's New

  • Automatic strict mode for public repositories β€” Lockdown validation now enforces strict: true automatically 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., rite instead of write), the compiler now surfaces a nearest-match suggestion for nested enum violations, making YAML configuration errors much faster to diagnose. (#19925)

πŸ› Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • gh aw audit now surfaces ##[error] annotations from flat log files β€” The audit command previously left the errors array 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 new command and several medium/low severity inconsistencies surfaced by automated inspection have been resolved. (#19927)

πŸ“š Documentation

  • Environment variables reference updated β€” Documentation for GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY support in agent step summaries has been added. (#19928)
