CI Doctor Workflow Failure Investigation & Fix

Root Cause Analysis

  • Analyze workflow run logs (run #21036806908)
  • Identify specific failure: Permission denied reading /tmp/gh-aw/sandbox/firewall/logs/access.log
  • Root cause: AWF binary runs with sudo, creates logs owned by root, but runner cannot read them
  • Implement fix: Add permission correction step before artifact upload
  • Test fix by recompiling workflows
  • Validate with unit tests and linting
  • Run make agent-finish (noted pre-existing test failure)
  • Merge main branch and regenerate workflows

Implementation Details

Modified pkg/workflow/copilot_srt.go in the generateFirewallLogParsingStep function to add a sudo chmod -R a+r command that makes the firewall log files readable by the GitHub Actions runner before attempting to upload them as artifacts.

Root Cause: The awf firewall binary runs with sudo privileges and creates log files owned by root in /tmp/gh-aw/sandbox/firewall/logs/. When GitHub Actions tries to upload these files as artifacts, the runner user lacks read permissions, causing an EACCES: permission denied error.

Solution: Before parsing and uploading firewall logs, the step now executes sudo chmod -R a+r /tmp/gh-aw/sandbox/firewall/logs 2>/dev/null || true to make all files in the directory readable by all users. The command is wrapped with error suppression (|| true) to ensure it doesn't fail if the directory doesn't exist.

Latest Changes:

  • Merged main branch to incorporate latest updates
  • Regenerated all 124 workflow files with the firewall permission fix

Testing:

  • ✅ Built binary successfully
  • ✅ Recompiled all 124 workflow files
  • ✅ Unit tests passing (except pre-existing TestCopilotEngineRenderGitHubMCPConfig)
  • ✅ Code formatting validated
  • ✅ Linting passed
  • ⚠️ Pre-existing test failure in TestCopilotEngineRenderGitHubMCPConfig (unrelated to this fix)

Files Modified:

  • pkg/workflow/copilot_srt.go - Added permission fix in firewall log parsing step
  • All 124 workflow .lock.yml files - Recompiled with the fix and merged with main

All workflows with firewall support (Copilot, Claude, Codex engines) now include this permission fix.

Pre-existing Issue

Note: TestCopilotEngineRenderGitHubMCPConfig was already failing before this PR due to changes in GitHub MCP server configuration format (container vs Docker local mode). This is unrelated to the firewall logs permission fix.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>[agentics] CI Failure Doctor failed</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Workflow Failure

Status: Failed
Workflow: CI Failure Doctor
Run URL: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw/actions/runs/21036806908

Root Cause

The agentic workflow has encountered a failure. This indicates a configuration error, runtime issue, or missing dependencies that must be resolved.

Action Required

Agent Assignment: This issue should be debugged using the agentic-workflows agent.

Instructions for Agent:

  1. Analyze the workflow run logs at: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw/actions/runs/21036806908
  2. Identify the specific failure point and error messages
  3. Determine the root cause (configuration, missing tools, permissions, etc.)
  4. Propose specific fixes with code changes or configuration updates
  5. Validate the fix resolves the issue

Agent Invocation:

/agent agentic-workflows

When prompted, instruct the agent to debug this workflow failure.

Expected Outcome

  • Root cause identified and documented
  • Specific fix provided (code changes, configuration updates, or dependency additions)
  • Verification that the fix resolves the failure
