[aw] Smoke Copilot failed before agent execution started #69583
Description
Workflow Failure
Workflow: Smoke Copilot
Branch: copilot/bump-gh-aw-firewall-v02862
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/38992703035
Pull Request: #69526
Warning
Task Could Not Be Completed: The workflow recorded a report_incomplete signal: the task was not completed or completion could not be confirmed.
Error details:
Failure classification: agent_startup_failure
Agent execution state: not_started
The runtime recorded that agent execution never started. Inspect the failed startup step and gateway/setup logs in the linked run; missing safe outputs are downstream, not evidence that the agent omitted a terminal output.
A comment or other safe output does not confirm that the requested task was completed. Only inferred runtime status and error codes are reported; agent text is excluded.
Failure Diagnostics
Agent job: agent
Agent job conclusion: failure
Failing step: Download container images
The runtime did not record a specific cause. Check the linked run for failure details.
Only runtime metadata is shown; agent-generated text is excluded.
