gh-aw v0.90.1 (2026-09-30T17:20:00Z) adds standalone safe-output-backed ledgers with replay projections (defaults preserved on shared-workflow import), richer audit/usage artifacts (ledger txs, threat-detection outcomes, experiment/evals, friction costs), narrowed add-labels + required-labels gating for assign-to-agent, compile-time self-hosted runner enforcement, kebab-case sandbox frontmatter, and Claude Code CLI pin 2.1.280.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓v0.90.1 at 2026-09-30T17:20:00Z after v0.90.0

  • ✓Richer audit: ledger txs, threat detection, evals, friction-cost attribution
  • ✓Governance: narrowed add-labels; required-labels on assign-to-agent; compile-time self-hosted runner enforcement
  • ✓Claude Code CLI pin 2.1.280; docs via gh-aw README / GitHub Next project page

In-Depth Technical Analysis

Background

Agentic workflows that mutate issues/PRs need replayable ledgers and threat-detection artifacts. After v0.90.0’s friction-cost/noop graders, 0.90.1 hardens ledger independence and self-hosted runner policy.

What shipped

Standalone safe-output ledgers + replay (defaults kept on import); richer audit (txs, threat outcomes, evals, friction attribution); narrowed add-labels + required-labels on assign-to-agent; compile-time self-hosted runner enforcement; kebab-case sandbox frontmatter; Claude Code CLI 2.1.280.

Benchmarks

No SWE-bench. Anchor: 2026-09-30T17:20:00Z; compare v0.90.0...v0.90.1. Release note mentions ~13.3 AIC workflow self-metrics—not a cross-product bench.
