Add --add-dir arguments (/tmp/, /tmp/gh-aw/, /tmp/gh-aw/agent/) to copilot engine default arguments

[Copilot]

Problem

The copilot engine was only adding /tmp/gh-aw/ to its default --add-dir arguments, but not /tmp/gh-aw/agent/ or the root /tmp/ directory. This meant that the AI agent didn't have explicit access to:

1. The root temporary directory /tmp/
2. The agent-specific temporary directory /tmp/gh-aw/agent/ that is created by the workflow compiler via create_gh_aw_tmp_dir.sh and recommended to agents in temp_folder_prompt.md with the instruction: "always use the /tmp/gh-aw/agent/ directory for temporary files"

Solution

Added --add-dir /tmp/, --add-dir /tmp/gh-aw/, and --add-dir /tmp/gh-aw/agent/ to the default copilot CLI arguments in GetExecutionSteps(). Now the copilot command includes all three directories:

copilot --add-dir /tmp/ --add-dir /tmp/gh-aw/ --add-dir /tmp/gh-aw/agent/ --log-level all ...

This ensures the AI agent has explicit access to:

• The root /tmp/ directory for general temporary file operations
• The base /tmp/gh-aw/ directory for workflow-related files
• The recommended /tmp/gh-aw/agent/ directory for agent-specific temporary files

This aligns the CLI configuration with the instructions provided in the workflow prompts.

Changes

• pkg/workflow/copilot_engine.go: Added "--add-dir", "/tmp/", "--add-dir", "/tmp/gh-aw/", and "--add-dir", "/tmp/gh-aw/agent/" to default arguments
• pkg/workflow/copilot_engine_test.go: Updated test to verify all three directories are present
• All .lock.yml files: Recompiled to reflect the new default arguments

Testing

• ✅ All unit and integration tests pass
• ✅ All 39 workflows compile successfully
• ✅ Verified with manual workflow compilation
• ✅ Works correctly with cache-memory configurations (maintains proper order of --add-dir arguments)

Original prompt

Make sure that --add-dir /tmp/gh-aw/agent/ is part of the default arguments for copilot engine cli

@copilot also add --add-dir /tmp/ to the copilot cli

Added --add-dir /tmp/ to the default copilot CLI arguments. The command now includes all three directories: /tmp/, /tmp/gh-aw/, and /tmp/gh-aw/agent/ (commit 2d72b6e).
