Checklist Details

1. On-topic: The PR refactors the workflow compiler to replace hardcoded /opt/gh-aw path strings with typed GH_AW_HOME-based constants, directly supporting self-hosted runner relocation. This is squarely within the compiler and workflow concerns of the project.

2. Follows process: The PR is authored by the GitHub Copilot SWE Agent (apps/copilot-swe-agent) and assigned to a core team member (@pelikhan). This matches the documented contribution model: "Core team uses agents to create and manage pull requests." The community contribution model (issues → core team → agent PR) is not applicable here.

3. Focused: All changes serve a single purpose — the GH_AW_HOME refactor. The 173 recompiled lock files are a mechanical consequence of the compiler change. Secondary tweaks (close_pull_request config generation, isPathScannedBySecretRedaction path acceptance) are downstream effects of the same path abstraction.

4. New deps: No go.mod or go.sum changes detected.

5. Has tests: Extensive — 38+ test files are touched across pkg/workflow/, including unit tests, integration tests, and golden file fixtures.

6. Has description: The PR body is thorough, including a summary table of new constants/helpers, before/after code snippets, and a bullet-by-bullet breakdown of every changed file category.

Notes

• The PR is currently in draft state — normal for agent-in-progress work.
• Lines look large (12,448) but the vast majority are mechanical lock file recompilation; actual source changes span ~64 Go files.
• A firewall-blocked attempt to call gh pr list is noted in the body — informational, does not affect correctness.
