[github-actions]

Daily lint scan summary

Custom lint scan on 2026-06-30 found 767 shared largefunc findings in the main function-length backlog: 307 in pkg/workflow and 460 in pkg/cli. This issue is the single consolidated tracking issue for that shared backlog.

Affected paths

• pkg/workflow/** — 307 findings
• pkg/cli/** — 460 findings

• pkg/cli/add_workflow_resolution.go:66: ResolveWorkflows is 198 lines long (limit: 60)

Expected outcome

Reduce the pkg/workflow and pkg/cli largefunc backlog by carving out focused helpers and smaller files while preserving behavior. Keep this issue authoritative for the shared function-length refactoring topic instead of opening separate pkg/workflow vs pkg/cli backlog issues.

Remediation checklist

• Keep edits scoped to the assigned lint slice only
• Prefer minimal helper extraction and cohesive file/function splits
• Avoid unrelated cleanup outside the chosen slice
• Re-run make golint-custom after the slice is fixed
• Update this issue with the remaining count/path coverage after each slice lands

Next slices to refactor

• pkg/workflow/compiler_* and YAML generation hot spots
• pkg/workflow/safe_outputs_* configuration and job builders
• pkg/workflow/frontmatter_*, tools*, and mcp_* clusters
• pkg/cli/audit_* reporting/rendering cluster
• pkg/cli/add_* interactive/setup cluster
• pkg/cli/codemod_* and actionlint-related helpers

Copilot instructions

Use the minimum relevant guidance only: make narrowly-scoped changes for one slice at a time, prefer small focused helpers/files, and validate with make golint-custom.
