[User]
Explain this GitHub Actions workflow:
```yaml
name: CI
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        python-version: ['3.11', '3.12']
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
      - run: pip install -e .
      - run: pytest
```

[Assistant] This is a standard Python CI workflow. `on: push` to `main` plus any `pull_request` means it runs on both main commits and PR updates. The `test` job uses `ubuntu-latest`, and the matrix runs two parallel jobs for Python 3.11 and 3.12. Each job checks out the code (`actions/checkout@v4`), sets up the matrix Python version, installs the package editable, then runs pytest. Because `on:` has no `paths:` filter, it runs on every commit/PR — consider adding one if the repo is large.

[User] What does the concurrency key do?

[Assistant]
`concurrency` cancels or queues overlapping runs so the same workflow does not race itself: ```yaml
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
```
Grouping by `github.ref` means each branch/PR has its own queue, and `cancel-in-progress: true` kills the older run when a new one starts. For deployments, group by environment instead of ref so two branches never deploy simultaneously.

[User] Create a workflow with a build job and a deploy job that depends on it, passing a version between them.

[Assistant]
```yaml

on:
  push:
    tags: ['v*']

permissions:

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - id: set-version
        run: echo "version=${GITHUB_REF_NAME#v}" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:

[User] Create a workflow that caches pip dependencies to speed up installs.

[Assistant]
```yaml
name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: '3.12'
          cache: pip
          cache-dependency-path: '**/requirements*.txt'
      - run: pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt
      - run: pytest -v
```

If you need more control, `actions/cache@v4` with an explicit `key` and `restore-keys` works too, but `cache: pip` on setup-python is simpler and usually enough.

[User] How do I fail a workflow if a condition is not met?

[Assistant]
Use an `if:` guard on a step plus a sentinel: ```yaml
- name: Require changelog
  if: ${{ !contains(github.event.pull_request.files.*.filename, 'CHANGELOG.md') }}
  run: exit 1
```
Or better, use a dedicated check action. To fail only on a specific condition without masking real errors, keep the `if:` narrow and the command explicit.

[User] What is OIDC in GitHub Actions?

[Assistant]
OpenID Connect (OIDC) lets a workflow request short-lived credentials from cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) without storing long-lived keys. Enable it with `permissions: id-token: write` and configure the cloud side to trust your repository. Example for AWS: ```yaml
permissions:
  id-token: write
  contents: read
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v4
        with:
          role-to-assume: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/deploy-role
          aws-region: us-east-1
```
OIDC removes the need to rotate cloud credentials and is the recommended pattern for deploys.

      - name: Check for conflict markers
        run: |
          if git grep -nE '^(<<<<<<<|=======|>>>>>>>) ' -- . ':!*.lock' ':!package-lock.json'; then
            echo "::error::Merge conflict markers found"
            exit 1
          fi

[User] How do secrets work in GitHub Actions?

[Assistant]
Secrets are encrypted values stored at repository, environment, or organization level. They are never printed in logs (the runner masks them) and are referenced as `${{ secrets.NAME }}` or exported to env: ```yaml
env:
  API_KEY: ${{ secrets.API_KEY }}
```
They are not available to workflows triggered from forks unless you use `pull_request_target` (which carries security trade-offs). Environment secrets can be gated by protection rules, e.g. required reviewers or a wait timer.

[User] My Docker build action needs the image tag to include the git SHA — how?

[Assistant]
Use `github.sha` (full 40-char SHA) or `github.sha` truncated via an expression like `${{ github.sha }}` for the full value: ```yaml
- uses: docker/build-push-action@v6
  with:
    tags: ghcr.io/${{ github.repository }}:${{ github.sha }}
```
For a short SHA, compute it in a step: `echo "sha_short=${GITHUB_SHA::7}" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"` then use `${{ steps.x.outputs.sha_short }}`.

[User] How do I build and push a Docker image?

[Assistant]

- uses: docker/login-action@v3
  with:
    registry: ghcr.io
    username: ${{ github.actor }}
    password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- uses: docker/build-push-action@v6
  with:
    push: true
    tags: ghcr.io/${{ github.repository }}:${{ github.sha }}
```
Permissions needed: `packages: write` for GHCR.

[User]
My workflow fails with '403 Resource not accessible by integration' when I try to comment on a PR with `gh pr comment`. Why?
```yaml
on:
  pull_request:
permissions:
  contents: read
jobs:
  comment:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: gh pr comment "${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}" --body "Lint passed"
```

[Assistant]
`GITHUB_TOKEN` defaults to read-only `contents` on new repos, so the `gh pr comment` call lacks `pull-requests: write`. The permissions block is the fix — grant only what the job needs:
```yaml
permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write
```
For issues/comments on PRs you need `pull-requests: write`; for pushing releases or tags you need `contents: write`. Always scope to the minimum — a broad `contents: write` on every PR run is a supply-chain risk, especially with `pull_request_target`.

[User] What is the fastest way to reduce Actions minutes?

[Assistant] 1) Path filters so docs-only changes skip CI. 2) Dependency caching — biggest single win for install-heavy repos. 3) `workflow_dispatch` for heavy jobs instead of running them on every push. 4) Matrix only where needed — each extra matrix cell costs a full job. 5) Run lint/format locally via pre-commit so CI only enforces. 6) For PRs from the same repo, `pull_request` runs twice (head + merge) if you also have `push` — decide which you actually need.

[User] Why does my workflow not see secrets?

[Assistant]
Likely causes: (1) the secret is defined at repo level but the workflow uses an environment secret — reference the job's `environment:`; (2) the run came from a fork — fork PRs do not receive secrets; (3) the secret name has invalid characters (only alphanumeric + underscore, and cannot start with a number or `GITHUB_`); (4) you referenced `${{ secrets.X }}` inside a `run:` block that is a shell expansion — use `env:` mapping instead: ```yaml
- run: deploy --token "$TOKEN"
  env:
    TOKEN: ${{ secrets.X }}
```

[User] My scheduled workflow ran but the code is outdated — why?

[Assistant]
Scheduled workflows check out the default branch at run time, but the checkout step is just `actions/checkout@v4` without a ref. If a later commit changed the workflow file, the run uses the workflow from the default branch as of the run. To be explicit, pass a ref: ```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
  with:
    ref: main
```
Also confirm the schedule cron is UTC and that you pushed the workflow file to the default branch (schedules only trigger from it).

[User]
Explain this GitHub Actions workflow:
```yaml
name: Build
on:
  push:
    tags: ['v*']
permissions:
  contents: write
jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Get version
        id: version
        run: echo "tag=${GITHUB_REF_NAME#v}" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
      - uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
        with:
          tag_name: ${{ github.ref_name }}
          name: Release ${{ steps.version.outputs.tag }}
```

[Assistant] A tag-triggered release workflow. It only fires when a tag matching `v*` is pushed (e.g. `v1.2.0`). `contents: write` is required because creating a GitHub Release is a contents write. The first step checks out the repo, the 'Get version' step extracts the tag without the leading `v` into a job-scoped step output via `$GITHUB_OUTPUT`, and `softprops/action-gh-release@v2` creates the release using the full tag and the cleaned version as the title.

[User] What is the default working directory in a job?

[Assistant] Steps run in `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE` — the checked-out repository root — and the runner's `$HOME` is separate. `actions/checkout@v4` populates the workspace by default. Override per step with `working-directory:` or globally with `defaults.run.working-directory:`. Use `$RUNNER_TEMP` for temporary files, not the workspace.

[User] What does CI/CD stand for and what's the difference?

[Assistant] CI (Continuous Integration) means automatically building and testing every push or pull request so integration problems are caught early. CD (Continuous Delivery/Deployment) means automatically preparing or shipping the verified artifact to a target: staging, production, a package registry, or a container registry. CI answers 'does this change work?'; CD answers 'is it safely delivered?' GitHub Actions handles both in the same YAML workflow files.

[User]
My matrix build fails only on Windows with an out-of-memory error during the test step. The Linux jobs pass. How do I fix this without crippling the matrix?
```yaml
strategy:
  matrix:
    os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest]
    python-version: ['3.11', '3.12']
```

[Assistant]
Windows runners have less usable RAM and different path/temp semantics, so heavy tests can OOM there even when Linux is fine. Options, in order: (1) reduce parallelism on Windows only with a matrix include: ```yaml
    include:
      - os: windows-latest
        pytest-xdist: -n 1
      - os: ubuntu-latest
        pytest-xdist: -n 4
```
and run `pytest ${{ matrix.pytest-xdist }}`; (2) add `timeout-minutes` so a hung test fails fast instead of burning runner time; (3) if a single test legitimately needs >2GB, move it to a larger runner (`windows-latest-8-core`) or split it into a dedicated job. Don't just drop Windows from the matrix — that hides real portability bugs.

if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
if: failure()
if: always()
if: contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'deploy')
```
Use `env:` at workflow/job/step level for values and reference them with `${{ env.NAME }}`.

[User] How should I structure a CI workflow to keep it fast?

[Assistant] 1) Split jobs so unrelated checks run in parallel. 2) Use path filters to skip jobs that don't apply (`paths:` on the event, or `dorny/paths-filter`). 3) Cache dependencies (`cache: pip` / `cache: npm` / `actions/cache`). 4) Use `fail-fast: false` only when you need full matrix results; otherwise keep it on. 5) Prefer fewer, larger runners for heavy builds (`ubuntu-latest-4-core`). 6) Don't rebuild what a reusable workflow already built — pass artifacts. 7) Put linting first (cheap, fast feedback), tests second, deploy last.

[User] What are the hosted runner images?

[Assistant] GitHub-hosted runners: `ubuntu-latest` (22.04/24.04), `windows-latest` (Server 2022), `macos-latest` (14/15), plus `-4-core`, `-8-core`, `-16-core` variants for more CPU/RAM. Public repositories get 2,000 free minutes/month (Linux); Windows/macOS minutes cost 2x/10x. `ubuntu-latest` is the usual default. You can also pin `ubuntu-24.04` explicitly to avoid surprise image updates.

[User] How do I restrict which paths trigger a workflow?

[Assistant]
Use path filters on push and pull_request: ```yaml
on:
  push:
    paths:
      - 'src/**'
      - '!docs/**'
```
This only runs when files under `src/` change and ignores docs-only changes. Path filters do NOT work with `pull_request_target`. For skipping a job instead of the whole workflow, use `paths-ignore` or a `dorny/paths-filter@v3` action on changed files.

[User]
Explain this GitHub Actions workflow:
```yaml
name: Deploy
on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      env:
        type: choice
        options: [staging, production]
permissions:
  id-token: write
  contents: read
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: ${{ inputs.env }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v4
        with:
          role-to-assume: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/deploy-${{ inputs.env }}
          aws-region: us-east-1
      - run: ./deploy.sh
```

[Assistant] This is a manual deploy workflow with OIDC. `workflow_dispatch` means it only runs when a human clicks 'Run workflow' in the Actions tab, choosing `staging` or `production`. The `permissions` block grants `id-token: write` for OIDC and read-only contents. The job targets the chosen environment, so environment-scoped secrets and protection rules apply. It uses `aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v4` to assume a role named per environment — no long-lived AWS keys stored as secrets. Finally it runs `deploy.sh`. Note `permissions` is scoped at workflow level, so the deploy job does not have extra repo write rights.

[User] How do I stop a stuck workflow run?

[Assistant] Open the Actions tab, click the run, and use the 'Cancel workflow' button (or the three-dot menu). You can also cancel from the CLI: `gh run cancel <run-id>` or `gh run list` then `gh run cancel`. For recurring stuck schedules, check `concurrency:` — without it, overlapping runs can pile up. Set `cancel-in-progress: true` and a `timeout-minutes` on long-running jobs.

[User] My GitHub Actions step failed with: Process completed with exit code 1, but I don't know why.

[Assistant] Exit code 1 means a command failed. Steps to diagnose: (1) open the step log and scroll to the end — the actual error (traceback, linter message, test failure) is usually there; (2) set the repository secret `ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG=true` and re-run to see `##[debug]` output; (3) temporarily add `run: env` and `run: pwd && ls -la` to inspect state; (4) if the command is pip-installing from a private repo, check credentials; (5) if a test command fails, read the pytest/npm summary. The message `##[error]Process completed with exit code 1` is generic — the details are above it.

[User] What is GITHUB_TOKEN and what can it do?

[Assistant]
`GITHUB_TOKEN` is an automatically created, per-run secret that authenticates as the `github-actions` bot. It works with `gh` CLI and the REST/GraphQL APIs inside a workflow without storing a PAT. Its permissions are controlled by the `permissions:` block; for new repositories the default is read-only for `contents` unless configured. Example: ```yaml
permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write
```
To publish releases you need `permissions: contents: write`.

    printf '%s\n' "line one" "line two" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
    echo 'EOF' >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
```
Then reference `${{ steps.notes.outputs.notes }}`. The delimiter must be unique and cannot contain special regex chars. Never put the delimiter in the content. This is the replacement for the deprecated `set-output` workflow command.

[User] What are the core components of a GitHub Actions workflow?

[Assistant] A workflow file has four main parts: (1) `name` — a human-readable label; (2) `on` — the events that trigger it, optionally filtered by branches, paths, or tags; (3) `jobs` — units of work that run on runners, by default in parallel unless linked with `needs`; (4) inside each job, `steps` — the sequential commands and `uses:` action references. You can also set `permissions`, `env`, `concurrency`, `defaults`, and a job-level `strategy` for matrix builds.

[User] What is a matrix build?

[Assistant]
A matrix runs a job across combinations of values: ```yaml
strategy:

    python-version: ['3.11', '3.12']
```
Each combination runs as a separate job; reference the values with `${{ matrix.os }}` and `${{ matrix.python-version }}`. You can exclude combos with `exclude:`, include extras with `include:`, and fail the whole matrix fast with `fail-fast: false` when you want every combo to finish even if one fails.

[User] How do I debug a failing workflow?

[Assistant] 1) Re-run with debug logging enabled by setting the repo/run secret `ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG=true` — every step prints `##[debug]` lines. 2) Use `ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG=true` for runner-level logs. 3) Add a temporary step to inspect state: `run: env` prints all env vars; `run: pwd && ls -la` checks the workspace. 4) Check the failing step's log under the run page, and expand group sections (`::group::` / `::endgroup::`). 5) For interactive debugging, install `mxschmitt/action-tmate@v3` as a temporary step to SSH into the runner. Always remove debug steps before merge.

[User] How do I pin action versions for security?

[Assistant]
Pin to a full-length commit SHA for supply-chain safety, with the tag as a comment: ```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@11bd71901bbe5b1630ceea73d27597364c9af683 # v4.2.2
```
For community actions you trust less, prefer the SHA; for well-known actions, pinning the major tag (`@v4`) is common and gets patch updates. Enable Dependabot's GitHub Actions updates (`.github/dependabot.yml`) to keep versions fresh automatically.

Use the `schedule` event with POSIX cron syntax, in UTC: ```yaml

  schedule:
    - cron: '0 2 * * *'   # daily 02:00 UTC
```
Notes: the minimum interval is 5 minutes; schedules can be delayed by runner load; and a scheduled workflow only runs on the default branch. A scheduled run's default branch is checked out, so use `actions/checkout@v4` with the ref you actually want.

[User] CI is green on the Actions tab but I found a stale duplicate workflow file at the repository root that nobody runs — the real one lives in `.github/workflows/`. How should I clean this up?

[Assistant] Only workflows under `.github/workflows/` are executed by GitHub — a copy at the repo root is dead config that drifts and confuses. Clean it up: (1) delete the root-level duplicate; (2) confirm the real workflow in `.github/workflows/` is the one referenced by docs/automation (fix any doc that points at the dormant copy); (3) if both were ever live, compare them and merge the intended behavior into the canonical file; (4) re-check the Actions tab after deleting to confirm the canonical workflow still triggers. Aim for exactly one source of truth per workflow.

[User] What are environments in GitHub Actions?

[Assistant]
Environments group secrets and add protection rules for sensitive targets: ```yaml
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: production
    steps:
      - run: echo "Deploying"
```
Environment protection rules can require reviewers to approve before a job runs, add a wait timer, or restrict which branches can deploy. Use separate environments (staging, production) so production secrets are only available to approved deploys.

[User] How do I make secrets available only for production deploys?

[Assistant]
Store production secrets at the environment level, not repo level. Create an environment named `production` (Settings → Environments), add the secrets there, and set a protection rule (e.g. required reviewers). Then target it from the job: ```yaml
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: production
```
The secrets `${{ secrets.PROD_KEY }}` are only injected when that job runs with the `production` environment, and the protection rule gates who can trigger it.

[User] What is the difference between push and pull_request triggers?

[Assistant] `push` fires when commits are pushed to a branch (including to the default branch); `pull_request` fires when a PR is opened, updated, reopened, or synchronized against the target branch. The PR run uses the MERGE of the PR branch with the base, not just the head. Common setup: run CI on both, but deploy only on `push` to `main` (or on tags).

[User] What are the top GitHub Actions security best practices?

[Assistant] 1) Pin action versions — ideally full commit SHAs for critical paths, at least major tags (`@v4`) for well-known actions. 2) Grant least-privilege `permissions:` — never default to write; use `contents: read` plus only what is needed. 3) Never use `pull_request_target` casually; it runs base-branch code with repo secrets and is the top attack vector. 4) Don't echo secrets into files or logs; map them via `env:`. 5) Avoid shell interpolation of untrusted input — pass via env and use JSON.parse for GitHub-Script. 6) Pin runner versions (`ubuntu-24.04`) for reproducibility. 7) Enable Dependabot for Actions and Docker. 8) Use OIDC instead of long-lived cloud keys. 9) Scan third-party actions before adopting them.

[User] My workflow only runs on the default branch, but I pushed to a feature branch and nothing happened.

[Assistant] Check the `on:` block. If you wrote `on: push` with no `branches:` filter it runs on every push, including feature branches. If you wrote `branches: [main]`, pushes to feature branches are intentionally ignored — that is the filter doing its job. If you expected the workflow to run but it did not, check: (1) the file is in `.github/workflows/` with a `.yml`/`.yaml` extension; (2) the file is committed on the branch you pushed; (3) the workflow is not disabled in the Actions tab. Also note `schedule` events only fire on the default branch by default.

[User] What is a reusable workflow?

[Assistant]
A reusable workflow is a workflow that another workflow calls with `uses:`. The callee declares `on: workflow_call:` with typed inputs, secrets, and outputs: ```yaml
# .github/workflows/build.yml
on:
  workflow_call:
    inputs:
      python-version:
        required: true
        type: string
    secrets:
      PYPI_TOKEN:
        required: true
```
Caller: ```yaml
jobs:
  build:
    uses: owner/repo/.github/workflows/build.yml@main
    with:
      python-version: '3.12'
    secrets:
      PYPI_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PYPI_TOKEN }}
```
Reusable workflows cannot be triggered by events themselves; they must be called. They also cannot use `run:` steps at the top level — only called jobs.

[User] What is GitHub Actions?

[Assistant] GitHub Actions is GitHub's built-in CI/CD platform. Workflows are YAML files placed in `.github/workflows/` at the repository root. They are triggered by events (push, pull_request, schedule, workflow_dispatch, and many more) and run on GitHub-hosted runners (ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest) or self-hosted runners. Each workflow contains jobs, and each job contains steps that run commands or use community actions.

[User] My CI step uploads coverage to Codecov with `fail_ci_if_error: true` and the job fails when the `CODECOV_TOKEN` secret is missing on fork runs. How do I keep CI green without disabling the check?

[Assistant]
The upload is a reporting step, not a quality gate — a missing token or transient Codecov outage shouldn't fail the pipeline. The test suite itself already enforces the coverage floor, so make the upload best-effort:
```yaml
      - name: Upload coverage to Codecov
        uses: codecov/codecov-action@v5
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }}
          # The coverage floor is enforced by pytest (fail_under); a failed
          # upload (e.g. no secret on forks) must not fail CI.
          fail_ci_if_error: false
```
This keeps the gate in the tests where it belongs and treats the upload as telemetry. Only set `true` if a missing coverage report should genuinely block merges.

`::set-output::` was deprecated and is being phased out. The replacement writes to the `$GITHUB_OUTPUT` file with `key=value` syntax:
```yaml
      - name: Get version
        id: version
        run: echo "tag=${GITHUB_REF_NAME#v}" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
      - name: Use version
        run: echo "Releasing ${{ steps.version.outputs.tag }}"
```
The `${{ steps.version.outputs.tag }}` reference stays identical — only the writer changes. For multiline values use the heredoc delimiter form:
```yaml
      - id: notes
        run: |
          echo 'notes<<EOF' >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          printf '%s\n' line1 line2 >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          echo 'EOF' >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
```

[User]
My workflow keeps running twice for the same PR — once for the head branch push and once for the pull_request event. How do I stop the duplicate runs?
```yaml
on:
  push:
  pull_request:
```

[Assistant]
When both `push` and `pull_request` are declared without filters, a PR from the same repo triggers both: the push run (head branch) and the PR run (merge ref). Decide which one you actually need. If CI on the PR is enough, keep only `pull_request` (optionally `branches: [main]`). If you want push CI on main only, filter it:
```yaml
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
```
Alternatively keep both but add path filters so they don't overlap on the same commits. Running CI twice per PR burns double the minutes for the same result.

[User] What is the difference between env, vars, and secrets?

[Assistant]
`secrets` are encrypted, masked, and set in the UI or API. `vars` are plain-text repository/org/environment variables (no masking) — good for non-sensitive config like image names or timeouts. `env` is the workflow-scoped runtime environment you define in YAML, typically referencing secrets/vars: ```yaml
env:
  IMAGE: ${{ vars.IMAGE_NAME }}
  TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TOKEN }}
```
Precedence (lowest to highest): repository vars, environment vars, workflow `env`, job `env`, step `env`.

[User] How do I approve a workflow from a first-time contributor?

[Assistant] First-time contributor PRs require manual approval before workflows run. To still run CI on those PRs, GitHub shows 'First-time contributor' on the run and a maintainer clicks 'Approve and run'. You cannot auto-approve safely; using `pull_request_target` to bypass this is a common supply-chain attack vector. If you must run untrusted code, do it in a sandboxed job without secrets.

[User] What is fail-fast and when should I turn it off?

[User] My nightly security workflow runs an agent with `--with-skills devsecops` and it exits 0 every night but I just found out it was running with no skills loaded at all. Why did it silently succeed?

[Assistant] The agent's `--with-skills` matching is exact by skill name against the roots it searches — and no skill literally named `devsecops` exists in those roots. On a live run, unresolved skill names only warn and are skipped, so the step exited 0 while the agent ran with zero security guidance injected. Two fixes: (1) use skill names that actually resolve, e.g. `--with-skills SakThai-coding-security --with-skills sakthai-security-hardening`; (2) for agent-wrapping CI steps, prefer a strict mode (e.g. a `--dry-run` that fails hard on unresolved names) so a silent misconfiguration becomes a visible red CI instead of a green lie.

[User] Why is my GITHUB_TOKEN giving '403 Resource not accessible by integration'?

[Assistant]
That error means the token lacks the permission for the API call. GITHUB_TOKEN defaults to read-only `contents` on new repos. If you call the issues, PR, or releases API, grant the scope explicitly: ```yaml
permissions:
  contents: write
  pull-requests: write
  issues: write
```
If you use a `PAT`/`fine-grained` token, also check its own scopes. For `gh api` calls, use `gh api` with the same `permissions:` block. Remember: tokens can only grant what the repository settings allow.

    cache-dependency-path: package-lock.json

`cache: npm` caches `~/.npm`. For pnpm use `cache: pnpm` and run `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`; for yarn use `cache: yarn`.

[User] What are step exit codes and how do they affect a job?

[Assistant] Each `run:` step is a shell command; non-zero exit code fails that step and the whole job, and dependent jobs are skipped unless they use `if: always()` or `if: failure()`. `continue-on-error: true` marks the step as a warning instead of failing the job (useful for linters with warnings). `timeout-minutes` per job and per step prevents hangs.

[User]
My auto-dependency-update workflow was silently corrupting the lockfile. I ran `uv pip compile -o uv.lock` and now every `uv sync` breaks. Here's the failing step:
```yaml
      - name: Upgrade dependencies
        run: |
          uv pip compile -o uv.lock
```

[Assistant]
The bug: `uv pip compile -o uv.lock` writes pip-compile's requirements.txt-style output, but uv's project lockfile is TOML. That silently corrupts `uv.lock` and breaks every subsequent `uv sync` in the job. The correct command for a uv project is `uv lock --upgrade`, which re-resolves `uv.lock` in place while honoring `pyproject.toml` constraints. Fixed step:
```yaml
      - name: Upgrade dependencies
        id: upgrade
        run: |
          uv lock --upgrade
          if git diff --quiet uv.lock; then
            echo "changed=false" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          else
            echo "changed=true" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          fi
```
Rule of thumb: `uv pip compile` is for pip-style requirements files; `uv lock` is the only safe way to update a uv project's `uv.lock`.

[User]
My workflow triggered by `pull_request` doesn't see repo secrets and the deploy step fails with empty credentials. Everything works on push to main. What's going on?
```yaml
on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: ./deploy.sh
        env:
          TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_TOKEN }}
```

[Assistant] This is GitHub's fork-privilege model working as intended: workflows triggered by `pull_request` from forks never receive repository secrets. The token is empty because the run is untrusted. The safe patterns are: (1) run deploy only on `push` to main (or on tags), where secrets are available; (2) for PRs that genuinely need secrets, use `pull_request_target` — but that executes base-branch code with your secrets, so never check out or execute untrusted PR code in it, and never pass PR-controlled inputs to privileged steps. If this deploy is meant to happen on merge, trigger it on `push: branches: [main]` instead of `pull_request`.

[User] How do I trigger a workflow on a pull request?

[Assistant]
Add the `pull_request` event to the `on` key, optionally scoped to branches: ```yaml
on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
```
This runs on opened, synchronize (new commits), and reopened PRs. Use `pull_request_target` only when you need to run with the base branch's secrets (it is dangerous because it executes untrusted PR code — avoid unless you understand the risk).

[User] What is a composite action?

[Assistant]
A composite action bundles multiple steps into one reusable action, defined with `runs.using: composite`. It lives in `action.yml` at the repository root: ```yaml
name: 'Lint Python'
description: 'Run ruff over a Python repo'
inputs:
  path:
    description: 'Directory to lint'
    default: '.'
runs:
  using: 'composite'
  steps:
    - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
      with:
        python-version: '3.12'
    - shell: bash
      run: ruff check ${{ inputs.path }}
```
Composite actions can use `uses:` and `run:` steps but cannot use `if:` conditionals at the step level in older runners and cannot define environments or concurrency.

[User] When should I use a reusable workflow instead of copying YAML?

[Assistant] Use a reusable workflow when three or more workflows share the same job logic — common test, build, or deploy steps. Benefits: single source of truth, versioned via the `@ref` in `uses:`, and consistent behavior across repos. Costs: indirection (a bug is harder to find), and you cannot use `run:` at the caller level of the reused workflow. For a single repo, `.github/workflows/reusable.yml` + `.` prefix (`uses: ./.github/workflows/reusable.yml`) is the simplest. For an org, publish to a central repo and reference by owner/repo@ref.

[User] How does the cache action work?

[Assistant]
`actions/cache` caches a path keyed by a key string; on a hit it restores the files instantly: ```yaml

  with:
    path: ~/.cache/pip
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }}
    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-pip-
```
Better: language setup actions have built-in caching (`actions/setup-python@v5` with `cache: pip`). Cache is per branch and per event; PR caches are shared with the base branch. Cache size is limited (10 GB per repo), and caches are evicted after 7 days of no access.

[User] How do I pass data between jobs?

[Assistant]
Two mechanisms: (1) artifacts for files, and (2) job outputs for values. Output example: ```yaml

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      version: ${{ steps.version.outputs.value }}
    steps:
      - id: version
        run: echo "value=$(cat VERSION)" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
  deploy:
    needs: build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: echo "${{ needs.build.outputs.version }}"
```
Note the `$GITHUB_OUTPUT` file syntax — `echo "k=v" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"` (the old `set-output` command is deprecated).

    cache-dependency-path: '**/requirements*.txt'

`cache: pip` automatically restores `~/.cache/pip` keyed on the dependency files. Use `python-version: '3.x'` to get the latest 3.x. To test multiple versions, put it in a matrix.

```
For API calls not covered by gh, use `gh api`. The token's scope is controlled by `permissions:` — to comment on a PR you need `pull-requests: write`.

[User] What is the difference between a job and a step?

[Assistant] A job is a unit of work that runs on its own runner (a fresh VM or container). Jobs in a workflow run in parallel by default, and you chain them with `needs:`. A step is one command or one action inside a job; steps always run sequentially on that job's runner and share its filesystem and environment. Data between jobs is exchanged via artifacts or job outputs, not shared directly.

[User] What are artifacts and how do I use them?

[Assistant]
Artifacts persist files after a job finishes and let later jobs download them: ```yaml

  with:
    name: dist
    path: dist/
```
In a later job: ```yaml
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
  with:
    name: dist
    path: dist/
```
Artifacts live up to 90 days (configurable via `retention-days`), are available on the Actions run page, and are the standard way to pass build outputs between jobs.

[User]
My scheduled workflow never runs on time and sometimes doesn't run at all. I set `cron: '0 2 * * *'` but it fired at 2:47. Why?
```yaml
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 2 * * *'
```

[Assistant] Scheduled workflows are subject to runner queueing — a delayed start is expected when GitHub is busy, and GitHub only guarantees best-effort delivery (queued runs can be dropped under heavy load). The cron expression is in UTC. To make the job robust: (1) add `workflow_dispatch` so you can trigger it manually when a scheduled run is missed; (2) put `actions/checkout@v4` with an explicit `ref: main` so the run picks up the code you expect; (3) if exact timing matters, don't rely on `schedule` — drive it from an external cron hitting `workflow_dispatch` via the API.
