Bumps github/gh-aw from 0.53.4 to 0.56.2.

Release notes

Sourced from github/gh-aw's releases.

v0.56.2

🌟 Release Highlights

This release focuses on reliability improvements across protected-file handling, setup CLI pinning, and cross-repo workflows — along with an upgrade to GitHub MCP server v0.32.0 and a new strict allowlist feature for protected-file protection.

✨ What's New

  • allowed-files strict allowlist for protected-file PR safe outputs (#20051) — You can now configure an explicit allowlist of files that are permitted in protected-file PRs. Any file outside the allowlist is blocked, giving teams tighter control over what agents can modify in sensitive branches.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Protected-file fallback-to-issue now works when workflows permission is absent (#20106) — When an agent patch touches .github/workflows/ files and the GitHub App lacks workflows permission, gh-aw now correctly creates a fallback review issue rather than silently failing.
  • Default branch no longer hardcoded to main (#20099) — create_pull_request and related operations now query the repository's actual default branch, fixing failures in repos using master, develop, or any non-main default.
  • add-wizard correctly syncs working tree after PR merge (#20094) — Switching to the default branch after merging a wizard-created PR ensures workflow files are visible immediately, eliminating "workflow file not found" errors.
  • setup-cli action now respects pinned version input (#20081) — The action verifies the installed version matches the requested version after gh extension install, falling back to a manual binary download if there's a mismatch.
  • Safe output handler gracefully handles custom safe output job types (#20114) — Unknown job types no longer surface as unhandled errors; they are now logged and skipped cleanly.

⚡ Performance

  • Compiled regex patterns moved to package-level variables (#20073, #20079) — regexp.MustCompile calls across pkg/cli, pkg/workflow, and the expression-validation hot path are now initialized once at startup rather than on every invocation, reducing allocation pressure in high-frequency compilation paths.

🔧 Dependencies & Infrastructure

  • GitHub MCP server upgraded to v0.32.0 (#20100) — Picks up the latest GitHub MCP tooling improvements and bug fixes.

📚 Documentation

  • New Cost Management reference page (#20078) — Added guidance on understanding and controlling the compute costs associated with running agentic workflows.
