[aw] Test Copilot Create Pull Request (Side Repo) failed

[github-actions]

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Test Copilot Create Pull Request (Side Repo)
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-test/actions/runs/27047618942

⚠️ Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.

Reasons:

• Cannot create PR in githubnext/gh-aw-side-repo: the repo is not checked out in the workspace. Only githubnext/gh-aw-test is checked out. The safeoutputs tool requires the target repo to be present as a git checkout. The gh-aw-side-repo is private and cannot be cloned without credentials (which are unavailable). The workflow YAML needs actions/checkout for gh-aw-side-repo with a path parameter.

  All three commits were successfully created on branch copilot-multi-commit-test-1780706794 in the gh-aw-test repo:

1. d1c04e3 - Add README-test.md with project overview
2. 279c497 - Add test-script.js with hello function
3. 26834e6 - Add config.json with project configuration

However, safeoutputs create_pull_request failed with:

Repository 'githubnext/gh-aw-side-repo' not found in workspace. Make sure it's checked out using actions/checkout with a path.

The gh-aw-test repo remote was confirmed as: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-test.git
Attempts to use repo=githubnext/gh-aw-test failed: "not in the allowed-repos list"
Attempt to clone gh-aw-side-repo failed: repo is private, no credentials available.

Fix: Add to workflow YAML:

- uses: actions/checkout@v4
  with:
    repository: githubnext/gh-aw-side-repo
    path: gh-aw-side-repo
    token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

This is a structured incompletion signal (report_incomplete), not a real task outcome. Any other safe outputs emitted alongside this signal (e.g., comments) describe the failure state, not a completed review or action.
