Single outlier step name in copilot-setup-steps.yml was inconsistent with the repository-wide convention (233 occurrences of "Checkout repository" vs 1 of "Checkout code").

Changes

  • .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml:18 - Renamed step from "Checkout code" to "Checkout repository"
  • .github/workflows/daily-copilot-token-report.lock.yml:318 - Propagated via workflow recompilation

Impact

  • Achieves 100% naming consistency across all 152 workflow lock files
  • No functional changes - purely cosmetic alignment

<issue_title>[step-names] Align "Checkout code" step name with standard "Checkout repository" pattern</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Step Name Alignment Issue

Found during systematic analysis of all 152 workflow lock files (11,743 total steps analyzed).

Summary

The imported workflow configuration file copilot-setup-steps.yml uses "Checkout code" as a step name, which is inconsistent with the overwhelmingly standard pattern of "Checkout repository" used across all other workflows in this repository.

Impact: This inconsistency appears in 1 compiled workflow (daily-copilot-token-report.lock.yml).

Issue Details

Current State

File: .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml
Line: 18
Current step name: Checkout code

- name: Checkout code
  uses: actions/checkout@93cb6efe18208431cddfb8368fd83d5badbf9bfd

Repository-Wide Pattern Analysis

Across all 152 workflow lock files:

  • "Checkout repository": 233 occurrences ✅ (standard pattern)
  • "Checkout actions folder": 907 occurrences ✅ (specific use case)
  • "Checkout PR branch": 153 occurrences ✅ (specific use case)
  • "Checkout .github and .agents folders": 152 occurrences ✅ (specific use case)
  • "Checkout code": 1 occurrence ❌ (outlier)

Recommended Fix

Change line 18 in .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml:

- - name: Checkout code
+ - name: Checkout repository
    uses: actions/checkout@93cb6efe18208431cddfb8368fd83d5badbf9bfd

Glossary Alignment

This change aligns with the project's established naming conventions identified through pattern analysis:

Pattern: Checkout (target)

  • Use "Checkout repository" for main repository checkout
  • Use "Checkout (specific-folder)" when checking out specific directories
  • Use "Checkout (specific-branch)" when checking out specific branches

Affected Workflows

Only 1 workflow imports this configuration:

  • .github/workflows/daily-copilot-token-report.md (imports copilot-setup-steps.yml at line 47)

After fixing the import file and recompiling, the fix will automatically propagate to:

  • .github/workflows/daily-copilot-token-report.lock.yml (line 318)

Additional Context

Overall Repository Health:Excellent (A- grade)

This is the only critical naming inconsistency found across all workflows. The repository demonstrates outstanding naming conventions with:

  • ✅ Consistent use of imperative mood (not gerunds)
  • ✅ Proper sentence case capitalization
  • ✅ Clear, descriptive names
  • ✅ Minimal article usage
  • ✅ Well-established patterns for common operations
  • ✅ Correct glossary terminology (MCP, GitHub Copilot CLI, safe-outputs)

This single outlier represents just 0.004% of all steps (1 out of 11,743) - an excellent consistency rate of 99.996%.

Agentic Task Description

To implement this fix:

  1. Edit the source file: Update .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml line 18
  2. Recompile affected workflows: Run gh aw compile daily-copilot-token-report.md to regenerate the lock file
  3. Verify the change: Confirm that daily-copilot-token-report.lock.yml now shows "Checkout repository" at line 318
  4. Test the workflow: Ensure the workflow still functions correctly after the change

Priority

Low Priority - This is a cosmetic consistency improvement with no functional impact. The workflow operates correctly with the current name. However, fixing it achieves perfect naming consistency across all workflows.
