The
Weekly Content Updateworkflow failed whenCOPILOT_GITHUB_TOKENwas not configured, due to unconditional secret validation in theagentjob. This change makes scheduled runs skip the agent path when the token is absent, while keeping manual dispatch behavior unchanged.Root cause
agentjob always executed and always validatedCOPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN, causing hard failure on missing secret.Workflow behavior change
agentjob only runs when:schedule, orsecrets.COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKENis present.workflow_dispatch: still surfaces missing token misconfigurationFiles updated
