Fix scheduling pre-step to exit cleanly when no programs are due - #28
Merged
Conversation
Change process.exit(1) to process.exit(0) when no programs are due for a scheduled run. The non-zero exit was causing the workflow to show as failed (red X) in the Actions UI even though "no programs due" is an expected outcome. Also add a `not_due` flag to the JSON sentinel written to /tmp/gh-aw/autoloop.json so the agent step can explicitly detect this case, and document it in the agent instructions.

The scheduling pre-step exits with
process.exit(1)when no programs are due, causing every idle scheduled run to show as a failed workflow (red X) in the Actions UI. On a 6h schedule, most runs have nothing to do — this is normal, not an error.Changes
