Description
**Problem**: The `Daily Runtime Threat Scan` workflow (`.github/workflows/daily-runtime-threat-scan.lock.yml`) in `github/gh-aw-actions` fails during the `activation` job's `Check compile-agentic version` step on every recent scheduled run.
**Affected runs**:
- `https://github.com/github/gh-aw-actions/actions/runs/33807348028` (2026-09-03T21:19:52Z)
- `https://github.com/github/gh-aw-actions/actions/runs/33802522237` (2026-09-03T20:29:07Z)
**Error signature** (identical on both runs):
```
##[error]Blocked compile-agentic version: v0.83.1 is in the blocked versions list. Update gh-aw to the latest version and recompile your workflow.
```
**Probable root cause**: The workflow's lock file was compiled with `gh-aw` `v0.83.1`, which has since been added to a blocked-versions list (likely due to a known defect or security issue in that release). The activation guard now hard-fails every run before the agent job executes, blocking all scheduled and manual invocations of this workflow.
**Proposed remediation**:
1. Update the `gh-aw` CLI/action dependency used to compile `daily-runtime-threat-scan.md` to a non-blocked, current release.
2. Recompile the workflow source (`gh aw compile daily-runtime-threat-scan.md`, or the repository's equivalent compile command) to regenerate `.github/workflows/daily-runtime-threat-scan.lock.yml` with the updated toolchain version.
3. Commit the regenerated lock file alongside the source change so future compiles stay in sync.
**Success criteria**:
- The next scheduled or manual run of `Daily Runtime Threat Scan` passes the `activation` job's `Check compile-agentic version` step without a blocked-version error.
- The regenerated `.lock.yml` reflects a `gh-aw` version not present in the blocked-versions list.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with daily-runtime-threat-scan.md and its generated .github/workflows/daily-runtime-threat-scan.lock.yml. Check the gh-aw version used by the repository, run `gh aw compile daily-runtime-threat-scan.md` or the repository equivalent, and inspect the regenerated lock file. Done means the lock file uses a non-blocked version and the activation job's Check compile-agentic version step passes.
