ShellCheck (via actionlint) reported 132 SC2086 warnings across compiled workflows due to unquoted $GITHUB_OUTPUT references in compiler-generated shell steps, risking word splitting/glob expansion.

Changes

  • pkg/workflow/cache.go — Quote $GITHUB_OUTPUT in the cache-memory check step template (root cause; propagates to all 157 compiled workflows via make recompile)
  • actions/setup/sh/start_mcp_gateway.sh — Quote $GITHUB_OUTPUT in grouped redirect
  • actions/setup/js/*.test.cjs — Quote $GITHUB_OUTPUT in embedded shell script fixtures (safe_inputs_mcp_server.test.cjs, mcp_server_core.test.cjs)
  • 157 .lock.yml files — Regenerated to reflect the cache.go fix
# Before
echo "has_content=true" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

# After
echo "has_content=true" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

<issue_title>[plan] Fix SC2086/SC2129 ShellCheck warnings in compiler-generated shell scripts (unquoted variables, grouped redirects)</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Context

From discussion #17412 — Static Analysis Report 2026-02-21.

Problem

ShellCheck (via actionlint) reports 132 SC2086 warnings across 66 workflows: shell variables referenced without double-quotes, risking word splitting and glob expansion.

The most common pattern is unquoted $GITHUB_OUTPUT and similar special variables in compiled workflow steps:

# ❌ Unquoted - risks word splitting
echo "has_content=true" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

# ✅ Quoted - safe
echo "has_content=true" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

Additionally, 162 SC2129 style warnings across all 156 workflows suggest using grouped redirects:

# ❌ Individual redirects
echo "foo=bar" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
echo "baz=qux" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

# ✅ Grouped redirect
{
  echo "foo=bar"
  echo "baz=qux"
} >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

Steps

  1. Search the workflow compiler (pkg/workflow/) for generated shell script templates that use $GITHUB_OUTPUT, $GITHUB_ENV, $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY etc. without quotes
  2. Update the compiler templates to quote all variable references: "$GITHUB_OUTPUT", "$GITHUB_ENV", "$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY"
  3. For grouped output patterns, update templates to use { ... } >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT" syntax
  4. Run make recompile to regenerate all .lock.yml files
  5. Verify with actionlint that SC2086/SC2129 warnings are reduced
  6. Run make agent-finish before committing

Acceptance Criteria

  • Compiler templates quote all special GitHub environment variable references
  • SC2086 warnings reduced significantly (target: 0 for compiler-generated code)
  • make recompile succeeds
  • All existing tests pass (make test-unit)

Changeset

  • Type: patch
  • Description: Stop exposing the legacy cache.name override so generated cache steps keep their auto-generated names while doc/engine references stay in sync and the Gemini execution step label is clarified.

Pull request overview

Updates compiler-generated and related shell snippets to quote "$GITHUB_OUTPUT" to eliminate ShellCheck SC2086 warnings and avoid word splitting/globbing in output redirections.

Changes:

  • Quote "$GITHUB_OUTPUT" in the cache-memory compiler template and regenerate compiled workflow lockfiles.
  • Quote "$GITHUB_OUTPUT" in the MCP gateway startup script’s grouped redirect.
  • Quote "$GITHUB_OUTPUT" in embedded shell-script fixtures in JS tests.
