Description
AW Doctor live-mode workflows in `githubnext/gh-aw-cao` are repeatedly failing before activation because target authority is missing or incomplete for the `aw-doctor` package. This is blocking multiple doctor workflows at the same gate and the bounded snapshot shows repeated recurrence within minutes.
**Action:** Repo maintainers should add or repair `target-authority.packages.aw-doctor.authority` in `.github/workflows/cao.json`; accept when new runs of AW Doctor / Upgrade, AW Doctor / Compiler Security, and AW Doctor / Failures pass `Run CAO control precompute` in live mode.
Critical findings:
- Severity: P0 because the workflows are blocked before activation.
- Affected workflows: `aw-maintenance-upgrade.lock.yml`, `aw-maintenance-compiler-security.lock.yml`, `aw-failures-investigator.lock.yml`.
- Evidence-supported cause: `Run CAO control precompute` reports either `Target authority missing: add .github/workflows/cao.json to the target default branch for live mode` or `Target authority file must declare version 1 and target-authority.packages.aw-doctor.authority`.
- Confidence: high.

Bounded fix
Update the target authority file on the default branch so it declares schema version 1 and grants live authority for the `aw-doctor` package. Re-run one workflow from each affected AW Doctor family to verify the precompute gate now authorizes live mode.
Agent prompt
Review `.github/workflows/cao.json` on the default branch and repair the `target-authority` entry for package `aw-doctor`. Ensure the file declares version 1, includes the required package authority field for live mode, and matches the control-plane expectations used by `Run CAO control precompute`. After editing, validate the JSON and confirm AW Doctor / Upgrade, AW Doctor / Compiler Security, and AW Doctor / Failures can pass precompute in live mode.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Review .github/workflows/cao.json on the default branch and compare its target-authority entry with the precompute errors. Validate the JSON, then rerun one workflow from each affected family. Done means AW Doctor / Upgrade, Compiler Security, and Failures all pass Run CAO control precompute in live mode.
