Inject agentic-workflows MCP usage guide as a compiler-level builtin prompt

[Copilot]

26 workflows using agentic-workflows: duplicate the same MCP usage warnings verbatim in their prompt bodies. Rather than a shared workflow component, this injects the guide automatically at compile time — zero workflow changes required.

Changes

• actions/setup/md/agentic_workflows_guide.md — New runtime prompt file with the canonical MCP usage guide: critical gh aw direct-use warning, and parameter docs for status, logs, and audit tools
• pkg/workflow/prompt_constants.go — Added agenticWorkflowsGuideFile constant
• pkg/workflow/prompts.go — Added hasAgenticWorkflowsTool() helper, mirroring hasPlaywrightTool()
• pkg/workflow/unified_prompt_step.go — New section 4 in collectPromptSections() injects the guide whenever agentic-workflows: is present in the tools config
• Golden file + 173 lock files — Updated to reflect the new injected section

The guide is injected automatically — no workflow edits needed. Updates to the guide propagate to all 26+ affected workflows on next recompile.

Pull request overview

Injects a canonical agentic-workflows MCP usage guide into the unified runtime prompt at compile time whenever the agentic-workflows tool is enabled, eliminating duplicated prompt text across workflows.

Changes:

• Added a new runtime prompt file (agentic_workflows_guide.md) and wired it into prompt generation via a new constant and tool-detection helper.
• Updated unified prompt section collection to inject the guide when agentic-workflows is enabled.
• Updated golden output and regenerated affected .lock.yml workflows; added unit tests to verify inclusion/exclusion.

Fixed in f5cd100:

• Removed the non-existent list tool reference (it's handled by status)
• Fixed logs default count from 30 → 100, and added the missing params: end_date, branch, firewall/no_firewall, after_run_id/before_run_id
• Changed audit parameter from run_id to run_id_or_url (accepts numeric ID, run URL, job URL, or job URL with step anchor)

• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

[github-actions]

Hey @Copilot 👋 — great work on the compiler-level injection of the agentic workflows MCP guide! Eliminating 26 instances of duplicated prompt boilerplate via a single compile-time mechanism is exactly the kind of DRY, systematic improvement this codebase benefits from.

This PR is well-structured, clearly described, focused on a single concern, and comes with both positive and negative test coverage (TestAgenticWorkflowsGuideIncludedWhenEnabled / TestAgenticWorkflowsGuideNotIncludedWhenDisabled). The pattern mirrors the existing hasPlaywrightTool() convention, which makes it easy for reviewers to verify correctness.
