Description

### Workflow Failure

**Workflow:** [Issue Classification Agent](https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/blob/main/.github/workflows/issue-classification.md)
**Branch:** main
**Run:** https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34530568681

> [!WARNING]
> **No Safe Outputs Generated**: The agent job succeeded but did not produce any safe outputs.

This typically indicates:
- The safe output server failed to run
- The prompt failed to generate any meaningful result
- The agent should have called `noop` to explicitly indicate no action was taken

### Action Required

**Assign this issue to an agent** to debug and fix the issue.

Debug with any coding agent

Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.):

````
Debug the agentic workflow failure using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md

The failed workflow run is at https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34530568681
````

Manually invoke the agent

Debug this workflow failure using your favorite Agent CLI and the `agentic-workflows` prompt.

- Start your agent
- Load the `agentic-workflows` skill from `.github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md` or
- Type `debug the agentic workflow issue-classification failure in https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34530568681`

> [!TIP]
>
> Stop reporting this workflow as a failure
>
> To stop a workflow from creating failure issues, set `report-failure-as-issue: false` in its frontmatter:
> ```yaml
> safe-outputs:
> report-failure-as-issue: false
> ```

Research direction

Start with .github/workflows/issue-classification.md and the failed run at https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34530568681. Read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md and the agentic-workflows skill referenced in the issue, then determine why no safe outputs were generated. Done means the workflow produces an appropriate safe output or explicitly calls noop instead of reporting this failure.
