Pull request overview
This PR updates the workflow-normalizer workflow to consolidate multiple per-workflow issues into a single consolidated issue per run, reducing issue spam. The change addresses issue #16830 where the workflow was creating up to 5 separate issues (one per non-compliant workflow).
Changes:
- Updated
maxconstraint from5to1in safe-outputs configuration to enforce a single issue per run - Rewrote Step 4 instructions to create one consolidated issue with a table of all non-compliant workflows instead of individual issues
- Recompiled lock file to reflect the updated configuration across all relevant sections (config.json, tools.json, and handler config)

.github/workflows/workflow-normalizer.md | Changed max: 5 to max: 1 in frontmatter; rewrote Step 4 to create a single consolidated issue with a table listing all non-compliant workflows |
.github/workflows/workflow-normalizer.lock.yml | Updated frontmatter hash; updated safe-outputs configuration in three places (config.json, tools.json description, and GH_AW_SAFE_OUTPUTS_HANDLER_CONFIG) to reflect max: 1 constraint |

- The updated Step 4 template is well-structured and correctly consolidates all non-compliant workflows into a single issue. However, the Output Format section (lines 216-220, outside this diff) still shows an example with multiple issues being created:
### Issues Created
- [#123](link) - Normalize report formatting for workflow-name-1
- [#124](link) - Normalize report formatting for workflow-name-2
This example is now inconsistent with the new max: 1 constraint and should be updated to show a single consolidated issue instead. Consider updating that section to reflect that only one issue will be created per run, containing all non-compliant workflows.
### Step 4: Create One Consolidated Improvement Issue
Create **one** issue that consolidates all non-compliant workflows found.
**Title**: `[workflow-style] Normalize report formatting for non-compliant workflows`
**Body Template**:
```markdown
### Workflows to Update
The following workflows generate reports but don't include markdown style guidelines:
| Workflow File | Issues Found |
|---|---|
| `.github/workflows/<workflow-name-1>.md` | Missing header level guidelines |
| `.github/workflows/<workflow-name-2>.md` | No progressive disclosure instructions |
### Required Changes
For each workflow listed above, update the prompt to include these formatting guidelines:
#### 1. Header Levels
Add instruction: "Use h3 (###) or lower for all headers in your report to maintain proper document hierarchy."
#### 2. Progressive Disclosure
Add instruction: "Wrap long sections in `<details><summary><b>Section Name</b></summary>` tags to improve readability and reduce scrolling."
Example:
\`\`\`markdown
<details>
<summary><b>Full Analysis Details</b></summary>
[Long detailed content here...]
</details>
\`\`\`
#### 3. Report Structure
Suggest a structure like:
- Brief summary (always visible)
- Key metrics or highlights (always visible)
- Detailed analysis (in `<details>` tags)
- Recommendations (always visible)
### Design Principles (Airbnb-Inspired)
The updated workflows should create reports that:
1. **Build trust through clarity**: Most important info immediately visible
2. **Exceed expectations**: Add helpful context, trends, comparisons
3. **Create delight**: Use progressive disclosure to reduce overwhelm
4. **Maintain consistency**: Follow the same patterns as other reporting workflows
### Example Reference
See workflows like `daily-repo-chronicle` or `audit-workflows` for good examples of structured reporting.
### Agent Task
Update each workflow file listed in the table above to include the formatting guidelines in the prompt instructions. Test the updated workflows to ensure they produce well-formatted reports.
