Bumps github/gh-aw from 0.47.2 to 0.50.2.

Release notes

Sourced from github/gh-aw's releases.

v0.50.2

🌟 Release Highlights

This release brings a long-awaited gh aw validate command, expanded safe-output capabilities, a new checkout frontmatter field, and a wave of community-reported bug fixes — making workflows more reliable and easier to author.

✨ What's New

  • gh aw validate command (#18191) — Validate workflows with a single, discoverable command instead of chaining compile --validate --no-emit --zizmor --actionlint --poutine. Catch issues before they reach CI. Learn more

  • checkout frontmatter field (#18223) — Fine-tune how actions/checkout is emitted in the agent job directly from frontmatter, giving you more control over repository checkout depth and behavior.

  • duplicate state reason for close-issue (#18257) — Safe-output close-issue now supports state_reason: duplicate, enabling agentic triage workflows to properly categorize and close duplicate issues.

  • New built-in prompt files (#18273, #18272, #18221) — Three new reference prompt files added to .github/aw/: test-coverage.md (with artifact-reading guidance), visual-regression.md (Playwright + cache-memory patterns), and report.md (report generation with markup style guidance).

  • Smarter create-agentic-workflow prompt (#18274, #18271) — The workflow creation prompt now correctly suggests deployment_status triggers for external deployment monitoring, and expands language ecosystem inference to automatically configure network.allowed based on project type.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • threat-detection: false now respected across imports (#18231) — Imported safe-output fragments no longer silently re-enable threat detection when the main workflow has explicitly disabled it, preventing spurious compilation errors with sandbox.agent: false.

  • hide-older-comments now correctly identifies previous comments (#18205) — Fixed a matching bug where hide-older-comments on add-comment safe output failed to find previous comments due to a mismatch in XML marker format.

  • Fixed relative import resolution for nested remote files (#18190) — Nested remote imports now resolve relative to their immediate parent file's directory instead of the top-level workflow, enabling proper modular workflow composition.

  • code-simplifier unblocked for Go projects (#18214) — The go network preset now includes proxy.golang.org so go build, go test, and make lint no longer fail in the code-simplifier workflow.

  • ExitError preserved in workflow validation error chain (#18282) — errors.As(err, &exec.ExitError{}) now works correctly in workflow validation, enabling accurate error type detection downstream.

  • Fixed invalid Compiler Playground URL (#18206) — The broken 404 link in the editors reference documentation now correctly points to the Compiler Playground.

  • GFM Alert syntax for discussion-to-issue fallback warning (#18268) — The fallback warning added to issues when create-discussion fails due to permissions is now rendered as a prominent GFM [!NOTE] alert instead of a plain blockquote.

📚 Documentation

  • Updated docs for gh aw validate, checkout field, and threat-detection behavior from this release (#18254)
  • Clarified mandatory sudo requirement for self-hosted agentic workflow runners (#18210)
  • Condensed and streamlined FAQ page to reduce repetition (#18237)
  • Updated init/upgrade/fix help text to remove stale .github/aw/ prompt file references (#18218)

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
