Pull request overview
This PR updates internal workflow-authoring guidance used by gh-aw to generate/shape agentic workflows, focusing on (1) tighter PR trigger scoping for backend contract reviews and (2) safer network policy expectations for fallback coverage runs.
Changes:
- Expanded the “schema review” scenario into a schema/API contract review pattern, with concrete
pull_request.pathsscoping examples for backend contract surfaces. - Added compact backend-review guidance to classify contract changes (additive / backward-compatible / breaking) and report only actionable risks.
- Clarified fallback coverage guidance to require inferring repo ecosystem and expanding
network.allowedbeyonddefaults.

Persona exploration found the routing guidance was strong overall, with targeted gaps in PR path-scoping examples, backend schema/API review instructions, and fallback coverage network policy. This PR tightens those guidance points in the authoring docs used to generate workflows.
