[WIP] Fix agent-performance-analyzer to use local GitHub MCP

[Copilot]

Plan: Fix agent-performance-analyzer to use local GitHub MCP

• Understand the issue - agent-performance-analyzer.md is missing mode: field in GitHub tools configuration
• Add mode: local to the GitHub tools configuration in agent-performance-analyzer.md
• Recompile the workflow lock file with make recompile
• Validate the changes - confirmed lock file now uses Docker-based local MCP server
• Run agent-finish to ensure everything passes

<issue_description># Q Workflow Optimization Report

Context

This fix addresses the issue identified in discussion #7196 where @pelikhan requested: "/q investigate issues with the agent and fix it. Use local github, not remote."

Issue Found (from discussion analysis)

Agent Performance Analyzer (.github/workflows/agent-performance-analyzer.md)

Problem Identified: The workflow was configured to use mode: remote for the GitHub MCP server, but the requirement is to use mode: local for Docker-based local execution.

Evidence:

• Discussion Agent Performance Report - Week of December 22, 2024 #7196 clearly states: "Use local github, not remote"
• Current configuration line 12: mode: remote
• This prevents the workflow from using the local Docker-based GitHub MCP server

Changes Made

agent-performance-analyzer.md

Line 12 - Changed GitHub MCP mode:

  github:
-    mode: remote
+    mode: local
    toolsets: [default]

Rationale:

• Local mode uses Docker-based GitHub MCP server execution
• Remote mode uses hosted MCP server
• The request explicitly requires local execution for this workflow

Expected Improvements

✅ Correct MCP execution mode - Workflow will now use local Docker-based GitHub MCP server
✅ Alignment with requirements - Matches the explicit request in discussion #7196
✅ Maintained functionality - All other configuration remains unchanged (toolsets, permissions, safe-outputs)

Validation

Changes validated:

• ✅ Modified only the mode field from remote to local
• ✅ Preserved all other GitHub MCP configuration (toolsets: [default])
• ✅ No other workflow configuration affected
• ✅ Minimal, surgical change as requested

References

• Triggering discussion: Agent Performance Report - Week of December 22, 2024 #7196
• Triggering comment: "/q investigate issues with the agent and fix it. Use local github, not remote."
• Files modified: .github/workflows/agent-performance-analyzer.md (1 line changed)
• Lock files: Will be compiled automatically by copilot agent after merge

This is a minimal, targeted fix that directly addresses the issue identified in the discussion. The change switches the Agent Performance Analyzer workflow from using the remote GitHub MCP server to the local Docker-based implementation as requested.
