Add unassign_from_user and assign_to_user to compile-time safe outputs schema ✅

Summary

Successfully added the unassign_from_user tool to the safe outputs toolset, enabling workflows to remove assignees from issues/PRs during cleanup operations.

Root Cause

The unassign_from_user tool existed at runtime but was missing from the compile-time schema, causing:

  • Workflow validation failures during compilation
  • Missing tool errors in workflows like Smoke Codex
  • PR cleanup automation failures

Changes Implemented

  1. Added tool to compile-time schema (pkg/workflow/js/safe_outputs_tools.json)

    • Full schema definition with assignee/assignees, issue_number, and repo fields
    • Matches runtime schema format and capabilities
  2. Added handler registry entries (pkg/workflow/compiler_safe_outputs_config.go)

    • assign_to_user handler (was missing)
    • unassign_from_user handler
    • Both support max limit, allowed users, target, and cross-repo operations
  3. Added comprehensive tests

    • TestHandlerConfigAssignToUser - validates assign_to_user config generation
    • TestHandlerConfigUnassignFromUser - validates unassign_from_user config generation
    • Updated TestGetSafeOutputsToolsJSON to include new tool in expected list
  4. Recompiled workflows

    • Updated 13 workflow lock files that use these tools
    • smoke-codex.lock.yml now properly includes unassign handler config
  5. Merged main branch

    • Merged latest changes from main (markdown formatting guidelines and templating docs)
    • Recompiled all workflows after merge
  6. Fixed linting issues

    • Resolved testifylint warnings for float comparisons in test code
    • Used assert.InDelta for proper floating-point assertions

Workflows Updated

  • ✅ smoke-codex.lock.yml (primary beneficiary - removes githubactionagent)
  • ✅ code-scanning-fixer.lock.yml
  • ✅ code-simplifier.lock.yml
  • ✅ daily-assign-issue-to-user.lock.yml
  • ✅ daily-doc-updater.lock.yml
  • ✅ functional-pragmatist.lock.yml
  • ✅ github-mcp-tools-report.lock.yml
  • ✅ poem-bot.lock.yml
  • ✅ q.lock.yml
  • ✅ refiner.lock.yml
  • ✅ technical-doc-writer.lock.yml
  • ✅ tidy.lock.yml
  • ✅ unbloat-docs.lock.yml

Test Results

All tests passing:

  • TestHandlerConfigAssignToUser
  • TestHandlerConfigUnassignFromUser
  • TestGetSafeOutputsToolsJSON
  • ✅ All unit tests in pkg/workflow/

Linting

  • ✅ Go code passes linting (2 pre-existing issues in unrelated files)
  • ✅ JavaScript/JSON formatting validated
  • ✅ testifylint warnings resolved in new test code

Impact

  • Eliminates recurring missing-tool errors in Smoke Codex and other cleanup workflows
  • Enables proper PR cleanup by removing bot assignees (e.g., githubactionagent)
  • Improves PR hygiene automation across all workflows
  • No breaking changes - tool was already in runtime, just missing from compile-time validation
  • Up to date with main - includes latest documentation improvements
  • Clean code quality - all linting issues in new code resolved

<issue_title>[deep-report] Add unassign_from_user to safeoutputs toolset for Smoke Codex cleanup</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Description
The daily audit report notes repeated missing tool errors for unassign_from_user in Smoke Codex workflows, which need to remove githubactionagent from PRs. Add a safeoutputs MCP tool for unassigning users (or provide an equivalent supported operation) so cleanup steps can succeed.

Expected Impact

Eliminates recurring missing-tool noise in Smoke Codex runs and improves PR hygiene automation.

@copilot merge main and recompile

Done! Merged main branch and recompiled all workflows. The merge commit is c575e3a. All 154 workflows compiled successfully with no changes to lock files (the main branch changes were documentation-only).

Pull request overview

This PR adds the unassign_from_user tool to the compile-time safe outputs schema, resolving workflow validation failures in Smoke Codex and other workflows that need to remove assignees from issues/PRs. The missing tool existed at runtime but was absent from the compile-time schema, causing validation errors during workflow compilation.

Changes:

  • Added unassign_from_user to the compile-time schema (safe_outputs_tools.json) with full field definitions
  • Added handler registry entries for both assign_to_user and unassign_from_user in the compiler configuration
  • Added comprehensive tests for both handlers, including validation of config generation with allowed users, max limits, target repos, and cross-repository operations
  • Recompiled 13 workflow lock files to include the updated handler configurations

The assign_to_user schema is missing the "repo" field that is supported by the runtime handler. The unassign_from_user tool (lines 564-595) includes a "repo" field, and the assign_to_user runtime handler (actions/setup/js/assign_to_user.cjs:61) supports cross-repository operations using resolveAndValidateRepo. The schema should include a "repo" property with the same structure as unassign_from_user for consistency and to enable cross-repository assignment workflows.

Copilot uses AI. Check for mistakes.
Use assert.InDelta instead of assert.Equal for float64 comparisons in test assertions. This follows best practices for floating-point comparisons and resolves testifylint warnings.

@copilot lint go

Go linting completed. Fixed 2 testifylint issues in new test code (commit 839e08d). The remaining 2 staticcheck issues in pkg/cli/compile_orchestration.go are pre-existing and not part of this PR.

Linting Results:

  • ✅ All JavaScript/JSON formatting validated
  • ✅ testifylint warnings resolved (changed assert.Equal to assert.InDelta for float comparisons)
  • ⚠️ 2 pre-existing staticcheck issues in compile_orchestration.go (not modified in this PR)
