Pull request overview
This PR reduces unnecessary exposure of GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN by moving its emission from job-level env to the specific safe-outputs handler step (and only when PR-creation-related safe outputs are configured), and updates docs + locked workflows to match.
Changes:
- Emit
GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKENat step scope within the “Process Safe Outputs” handler manager step, conditioned oncreate-pull-request/push-to-pull-request-branchconfiguration. - Remove
GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKENfrom job-levelenv:in locked workflows and add it to the handler step where PR creation/branch push safe outputs are configured. - Documentation updates across several reference pages to clarify setup and improve formatting/snippets.

Summary
GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKENfrom job-level env to step-level env in the safe outputs handler step, so it is only emitted whencreate-pull-requestorpush-to-pull-request-branchis actually configured — reducing unnecessary secret exposure across all workflows.GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN(removed from jobenv:, added to the handler stepenv:).triggering-ci,auth-projects,github-tools,assign-to-copilot, andfaqpages — fixing heading levels, adding missing code snippets, and clarifying the magic secret pattern.
