AGENT_REMEDIATION_WORKFLOW.yml

# Prepare an accessibility remediation patch with GitHub Copilot CLI.
#
# PURPOSE
# -------
# This manually triggered example reads one GitHub issue, asks Copilot CLI to
# investigate it in an ephemeral checkout, and uploads a patch plus an agent
# report for human review. It does not push, open or merge a pull request, close
# an issue, deploy, or modify repository settings.
#
# SECURITY MODEL
# --------------
# Issue titles, bodies, labels, and attachments are untrusted input. This
# workflow stores issue data in a file and tells the agent to read it as data.
# It never places the issue body in GITHUB_OUTPUT, a shell command, or the static
# agent prompt.
#
# The workflow GITHUB_TOKEN has read-only repository and issue permissions.
# Checkout credentials are not persisted. Copilot works in an isolated copy
# that does not contain the checkout's .git directory. Shell, URL, and memory
# tools are denied. The resulting patch is uploaded for review and is never
# applied automatically.
#
# BEFORE COPYING
# --------------
# 1. Read the current GitHub documentation:
#    https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/automate-copilot-cli/automate-with-actions
# 2. Copy this file to .github/workflows/accessibility-remediation.yml.
# 3. Copy examples/COPILOT_REMEDIATION_AGENT_PROMPT.md and every canonical guide
#    it references into the target repository, adapting paths as needed.
# 4. Configure COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN as described below.
# 5. Review action pins, CLI version, permissions, artifact retention, protected
#    paths, cost, and organization policy before enabling the workflow.
# 6. Test with a harmless issue in a disposable repository or branch.
#
# AUTHENTICATION
# --------------
# This example expects an Actions secret named COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN. Use a
# fine-grained token with the Copilot Requests permission and only the
# repository access needed to read this repository. Organization-owned
# repositories may be able to use GITHUB_TOKEN when the relevant Copilot CLI
# policy is enabled; follow current GitHub documentation.
#
# Never give the Copilot credential contents:write, pull-requests:write,
# issues:write, administration, deployment, or secrets-management access for
# this review-only example.
