Root Cause
Same systemic push_repo_memory → Post Setup Scripts bug as #23151:
##[error]Can't find 'action.yml', 'action.yaml' or 'Dockerfile' under
'/home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/actions/setup'.
Did you forget to run actions/checkout before running your local action?
```
The `push_repo_memory` job checks out the `memory/*` branch, causing the `actions/setup` local action to disappear from the working tree. The Post Setup cleanup step then fails.
Additionally the `detection` job fails:
```
##[error]❌ Failed to parse detection result: No THREAT_DETECTION_RESULT found in detection log.
This secondary failure is a consequence of the agent job failing.
Impact
- Smoke test for cross-repo PR creation is not running
- Cannot detect regressions in cross-repo PR workflow functionality
- Contributes to overall health score degradation
Fix Required
Fix the systemic push_repo_memory → Post Setup Scripts bug in compiler_yaml.go — add a git checkout main restore step after the memory push so that actions/setup is accessible for Post Setup cleanup. See #23151 for full analysis.
