fix: move views configuration from update-project to create-project in campaign generator

[Copilot]

Investigation: Campaign Generator Views Not Created

Problem Analysis

The campaign generator workflow did not create the three configured views on the project. Analysis of workflow run #21150028596 reveals:

Root Cause: Views configuration was under update-project instead of create-project in multiple places

Key Findings

• Analyzed workflow logs and identified that only 1 of 3 project-related messages was processed
• Confirmed agent generated correct messages: create_project, add_comment, assign_to_agent
• Identified configuration structure issue: views were under update-project but should be under create-project
• Verified both create_project.cjs and update_project.cjs handlers support views configuration
• Determined the intended design: views should be in create-project config
• Fixed the configuration in the workflow file
• Recompiled workflow lock file
• Validated compiled configuration is correct
• Updated source instruction file with example configuration
• Fixed programmatic source in pkg/campaign/generator.go
• Fixed workflow rendering function in pkg/cli/init.go
• Updated test expectations
• Recompiled all workflows

Solution

1. Fixed workflow configuration - Moved views from update-project to create-project section in .github/workflows/agentic-campaign-generator.md

2. Updated source instruction file - Added text documentation in .github/aw/generate-agentic-campaign.md showing the correct safe-outputs configuration (without code examples that would fail validation)

3. Fixed programmatic source - Updated buildGeneratorSafeOutputs() in pkg/campaign/generator.go to place views under CreateProjects instead of UpdateProjects

4. Fixed rendering function - Updated renderCampaignGeneratorMarkdown() in pkg/cli/init.go to output views under create-project instead of update-project

5. Fixed tests - Updated test expectations to match the correct description format

The create_project handler is designed to create views automatically after project creation (see pkg/workflow/create_project.go:13). The update_project handler is for updating existing projects with new views.

Files Changed

• .github/workflows/agentic-campaign-generator.md - Fixed views configuration
• .github/workflows/agentic-campaign-generator.lock.yml - Recompiled with fix
• .github/aw/generate-agentic-campaign.md - Added text documentation showing correct configuration
• pkg/campaign/generator.go - Fixed programmatic source for workflow generation
• pkg/cli/init.go - Fixed markdown rendering to output views under create-project
• pkg/cli/init_test.go - Updated test expectations

Verification

The compiled lock file now correctly includes views in the create_project configuration. When the workflow runs next time, the create_project handler will automatically create all three views after creating the project. The programmatic source now ensures that any regeneration of the workflow file using gh aw init --campaign will also have the correct configuration.

Updated the source instruction file .github/aw/generate-agentic-campaign.md with a concrete example showing views configuration under create-project. The example demonstrates the correct safe-outputs structure for project-based campaigns. (3fcc060)

Fixed in buildGeneratorSafeOutputs() - moved the Views array from UpdateProjects to CreateProjects. This ensures that when the workflow is regenerated using gh aw init --campaign, it will have the correct configuration. (743bb56)

@copilot Recompile and fix tests.

@copilot Recompile and fix tests.

Recompiled workflow and fixed all related issues:

• Fixed instruction file to avoid expression validation errors
• Updated workflow rendering function to output views under create-project
• Fixed test expectations to match correct description format
• Recompiled lock file successfully

All tests now pass. (747a20c)
