[github-actions]

Summary

The Daily Security Review and Threat Modeling workflow failed on 2026-02-07 at 13:34 UTC during the Install gh-aw extension step (step 14 of 77). This is an infrastructure failure that occurred before agent execution, not a firewall/Docker issue.

Failure Details

• Workflow Run: #21780909286
• Failed Job: agent (62844733289)
• Failed Step: Install gh-aw extension (step 14)
• Trigger: Scheduled (daily)
• Commit: f84db28

Impact

Severity: Medium (non-blocking)

• Scheduled workflow (not blocking development)
• Read-only permissions (no write operations affected)
• Security review delayed but not critical
• May be transient infrastructure issue

Root Cause Analysis

The failure occurs very early in the workflow lifecycle during gh-aw extension installation:

✅ Steps 1-6: Job setup, checkout, cache restore
❌ Step 14: Install gh-aw extension <-- FAILURE HERE
⏭️ Steps 15+: Never executed

Likely causes:

1. Network connectivity issue reaching gh-aw registry
2. GitHub API rate limiting
3. gh-aw extension installation bug
4. Transient GitHub Actions runner issue

Not related to:

• Docker network conflicts
• Container cleanup issues
• iptables/firewall configuration
• Squid proxy issues
• MCP server failures

Investigation Limitations

Unable to retrieve detailed error logs due to API authentication requirements. The exact error message from step 14 is not available without admin access to workflow logs.

Recommended Actions
