Release notes

Sourced from github/gh-aw's releases.

v0.52.1

🌟 Release Highlights

This release focuses on reliability and developer experience improvements — faster workflow dispatch, better error visibility, and more robust custom job support.

✨ What's New

• Faster workflow dispatch (#19414): dispatch_workflow now uses the GitHub API's return_run_details: true (Feb 2026) to get the run ID immediately after triggering a dispatch, eliminating the need to poll gh run list. Graceful fallback for older GitHub Enterprise Server deployments is included.

• Copilot inference access error surfacing (#19412): When a Copilot workflow fails due to an "Access denied by policy settings" error (token lacks inference access), the error is now clearly surfaced in agent failure issues and comments — no more silent failures or confusing diagnostics.

• Cache-memory scope validation (#19406): The cache-memory parser now validates the scope field against the supported enum values at compile time, catching misconfigured workflows before they reach runtime.

• Updated CLI versions (#19385): Codex updated to 0.107.0 and MCP Gateway updated to v0.1.7.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Stable caller workflow ID (#19408): GH_AW_CALLER_WORKFLOW_ID now uses the workflow's filename (e.g., my-workflow) instead of the mutable YAML name: display field. This fixes close-older-issues disambiguation breaking when workflows are renamed.

• Custom job runs-on support (#19407): Fixed a bug where runs-on values in custom jobs using array or object forms were silently dropped during compilation. All three forms (string, array, object) are now correctly emitted.

📚 Documentation

• Custom jobs field reference (#19404): The custom jobs documentation now includes a clear table of supported job-level fields (needs, runs-on, if, permissions, outputs, env, timeout-minutes, concurrency, continue-on-error, container, services), replacing a previously misleading "full job support" statement.

v0.40.1 - 2026-02-03

Move from githubnext/gh-aw to github/gh-aw

If you were a former user of the githubnext Agentic Workflows you might have to re-register the extension to reflect the new location. As the gh-aw project moved from githubnext to github please delete the old channel and register the new one.

Example:

gh extension list
NAME   REPO              VERSION
gh aw  githubnext/gh-aw  v0.36.0
gh extension upgrade --all
[aw]: already up to date
gh extension remove gh-aw
gh extension install github/gh-aw
✓ Installed extension github/gh-aw
gh extension list
NAME   REPO          VERSION
gh aw  github/gh-aw  v0.40.1

Bug Fixes

Handle 502 Bad Gateway errors in assign_to_agent handler by treating them as success. The cloud gateway may return 502 errors during agent assignment, but the assignment typically succeeds despite the error. The handler now logs 502 errors for troubleshooting but does not fail the workflow.

Add discussion interaction to smoke workflows and serialize the discussion

flag in safe-outputs handler config.

Smoke workflows now select a random discussion and post thematic comments to validate discussion comment functionality. The compiler now emits the "discussion": true flag in GH_AW_SAFE_OUTPUTS_HANDLER_CONFIG when a workflow requests discussion output, and lock files include discussions: write permission where applicable.

Add discussion interaction to smoke workflows; compiler now serializes the discussion flag into the safe-outputs handler config so workflows can post comments to discussions. Lock files include discussions: write where applicable.

Smoke workflows pick a random discussion and post a thematic comment (copilot: playful, claude: comic-book, codex: mystical oracle, opencode: space mission). This is a non-breaking tooling/workflow change.
