🏥 CI Failuresafe_outputs job fails: gh-aw action download timeout on eastus runner

[github-actions]

Summary

The safe_outputs job in the Issue Monster workflow run #22211146745 failed because the github/gh-aw@v0.47.0 action could not be downloaded within the configured timeout.

Commit: 41131fdb03972b0dceb8839dae1eded0a2f09ed9
Runner: Azure eastus, ubuntu:24.04

Root Cause

The GitHub Actions runner failed to download the action repository tarball from https://api.github.com/repos/github/gh-aw/tarball/3064a1a45ed52527f18e66dbdfcb700cf57aef6f three times in a row:

##[warning] Failed to download action '...tarball/3064a1a...' Error: The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 100 seconds elapsing.
##[warning] Back off 11.443 seconds before retry.
##[warning] Failed to download action '...tarball/3064a1a...' Error: The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 100 seconds elapsing.
##[warning] Back off 14.038 seconds before retry.
##[error] Action '...tarball/3064a1a...' download has timed out. Error: The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 100 seconds elapsing.

The total failure took ~7 minutes (04:26 → 04:33 UTC). All other jobs (agent, detection, conclusion) succeeded.

Assessment

This is a transient infrastructure issue — the eastus Azure runner experienced network issues reaching api.github.com for action downloads. The code itself is not at fault.

Recommended Actions

1. Re-run the failed job — simply re-running the safe_outputs job should resolve this.
2. No code changes needed — this is a runner-side network flakiness issue.
3. Monitor for recurrence — if this pattern repeats on eastus runners, consider filing a GitHub Support ticket about action download reliability in that region.
