Description

This issue tracks all runs where threat detection flagged problems in agentic workflows in this repository. Each workflow run that completes with a detection warning or failure posts a comment here.

What is a Detection Problem?

A detection problem occurs when the threat detection system either:
- **Detects potential security threats** (prompt injection, secret leak, malicious patch)
- **Fails to produce results** (agent failure, parse error)

When `continue-on-error: true` (the default), these problems produce warnings and safe outputs still proceed. When `continue-on-error: false`, they block safe outputs entirely.

How This Helps

This issue helps you:
- Track workflows where threat detection raised concerns
- Review patterns of detection warnings or failures
- Identify false positives or recurring issues with threat detection
- Monitor the health of the threat detection system

Resources

> [!TIP]
> To configure threat detection behavior, update the frontmatter:
> ```yaml
> safe-outputs:
> threat-detection:
> continue-on-error: true # Warnings only (default)
> # continue-on-error: false # Strict mode — block safe outputs
> ```

> **No action to take** - Do not assign to an agent.

Research direction

This is an automatically managed detection-run tracker, not an implementation task. Read the GitHub Agentic Workflows Documentation and the detection comments to understand the reported warnings or failures. The issue explicitly says no action is required and should not be assigned, so there is no contributor-defined completion condition.
