GitHub agentic workflows and Renovate
TL;DR: Explores integrating Renovate with Agentic Workflows and the synchronization pitfalls when Renovate updates lock files that reference GitHub Actions. The author details a failing scenario and an attempted fix that caused broader triggers.
Renovate scans repos and bumps dependencies, including GitHub Actions in agentic workflows. When a lock file for an agentic workflow updates, Renovate may upgrade gh-aw-actions/setup to a new version whose helper scripts differ, breaking the workflow despite no change in the main script. The author first tried a workaround: recompiling the agentic workflow via a non-agentic GitHub workflow whenever lock.yml updates, but that caused a new bug where any change to docs-review.lock.yml, not just action bumps, triggered a recompile. This highlights the need for precise synchronization between Renovate bumps and agentic workflow compilation to avoid cascading, unintended triggers.
Question for the room: What strategies have you used to keep lock-file-driven workflow updates in sync with generated agentic workflows without triggering broad recompilation?
