[dependabot]

Bumps github/gh-aw from 0.80.9 to 0.81.6.

Release notes

Sourced from github/gh-aw's releases.

v0.81.6

🌟 Release Highlights

This release focuses on stability and observability — restoring broken fleet-wide token tracking, hardening CI quality gates, and adding release traceability for merged PRs.

✨ What's New

• Release PR notifications — A new post-agent release job now automatically comments on every PR included in each release, making it easy to trace which release shipped your changes (#41834).
• Loop engineering playbook — .github/aw/loop.md codifies patterns from autoloop, goal, and crane into a unified reference for building robust agentic loops (#41833).
• Benchstat regression gate — The CI bench job now compares against a stored baseline using benchstat, preventing silent performance regressions from merging (#41813).

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Restored fleet-wide token usage collection — TokenUsage had been reporting 0 across the entire fleet since June 20 due to two co-conspirating bugs in the conclusion job. Both are fixed, restoring accurate AI credit tracking (#41823).
• Security: pinned govulncheck to go.mod version — CI vulnerability scans now use the exact version declared in go.mod and produce reproducible SARIF reports. A local make vuln-sarif target is also available (#41815).
• Hardened BYOK Ollama startup — The daily BYOK Ollama test now gates on explicit model and API readiness before proceeding, eliminating pre-agent failures from incomplete startup (#41838).
• Stabilized Go Logger Enhancement compile — Fixed exit code 126 caused by unsafe shell glob expansion in the workflow tool allowlist (#41840).
• Enforced safe output completion in quality workflow — The daily compiler quality workflow now requires an explicit safe output call, preventing silent no-op runs (#41841).

🔧 Internal

• Refactored 5 extreme function-length hotspots (145–650 lines) in pkg/workflow and pkg/cli into focused, testable units (#41800).
• SortedKeys sweep and deduplication logic consolidation across the codebase (#41829).
