Description

### Workflow Failure

**Workflow:** [SelfCare / Dashboard Performance](https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/blob/main/.github/workflows/self-care-dashboard-performance.md)
**Branch:** main
**Run:** https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/actions/runs/34504567283

> [!WARNING]
> **Code Push Failed**: A code push safe output failed, and subsequent safe outputs were cancelled.

**Code Push Errors:**
- `create_pull_request`: Cannot create pull request: patch modifies files outside the allowed-files list. Add the files to the allowed-files configuration field or remove them from the patch.

Show 1 blocked file

`dashboard/site/test/unit/ui-elements.test.js`

> [!WARNING]
>
> Cache Configuration Problem: cache miss detected after cache restore succeeded.
>
> The agent reported a cache miss (`missing_data` with `reason: cache_memory_miss`) after the workflow successfully restored cache-memory for this run. This likely indicates the prompt is misconfigured and the agent cannot locate the correct file path within the cache directory.
>
> This warning is shown only when a cache restore matched an existing key. Cache misses can be expected on first runs and on branches where `actions/cache` has no visible entries due to branch scoping.
>
> Review the [cache-memory configuration](https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/cache-memory/) and ensure the agent prompt correctly references files inside the cache directory.
>
> **File naming convention:** Cache files are stored at `/tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/` (default) or `/tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory-{id}/` for additional caches. Use descriptive file and directory names with subdirectories for organization.

````
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/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/actions/runs/34504567283
````

Manually invoke the agent

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

- Start your agent

> [!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/self-care-dashboard-performance.md and inspect the failed run linked in the issue. Review the cache-memory references and allowed-files configuration against the blocked dashboard/site/test/unit/ui-elements.test.js file. Done means the workflow finds the intended cached data and can create its pull request without modifying disallowed files.
