[Agent Assist validation] Fork task creates and promotes a single-commit PR #33963
Description
Disposable production validation for the newly deployed Agent Assist fork workflow.
Expected change:
- Create exactly one file named
.agent-assist-fork-flow-validation.txt. - The file must contain exactly these two lines:
Agent Assist deployed fork workflow validation.
Safe to delete after validation. - Do not change any other file.
Acceptance criteria:
- Copilot work starts in
a0x1ab/azure-clifrom an exact-SHA temporary base. - Agent Assist promotes it as a one-commit draft PR from the
a0x1abfork intoAzure/azure-cli:dev. - The promoted PR uses external-fork CI routing and contains no internal boundary markers or unused template examples.
This issue and its disposable PR will be closed after production validation.

Fork promotion for this issue could not complete: the promotion helper attempted to squash-merge the completed fork PR (
a0x1ab/azure-cli) into its temporary base branch, but that base branch (agent-assist/azure-azure-cli-issue-33963-ae51706ce7aa) no longer exists on the fork even though the fork PR shows as merged/closed. This looks like a partially-completed prior promotion attempt (squash merge succeeded and the temp branch was cleaned up, but the upstream draft PR was never opened). A maintainer needs to inspecta0x1ab/azure-cliPR #3 and either recreate the temp base branch from its merge commit or restart the fork task for this issue.x-engineering-agent commentedon Aug 24, 2026
Fork promotion is blocked: the fork PR's temporary base branch (
agent-assist/azure-azure-cli-issue-33963-ae51706ce7aaina0x1ab/azure-cli) no longer exists (it was deleted after the fork PR was merged), so the squash/promotion step cannot read the merged commit. A maintainer must repair the Agent Assist dispatch record (e.g. recreate the temp base branch at the pre-merge SHA, or restart the fork task) before this can be promoted to an upstream draft PR.x-engineering-agent commentedon Aug 24, 2026
Fork promotion is blocked: the fork PR (
a0x1ab/azure-cli#3) is already merged, but its temporary base branchagent-assist/azure-azure-cli-issue-33963-ae51706ce7aaand head branchcopilot/fix-azure-cli-33963no longer exist in the fork (likely deleted by an auto-delete-branch-on-merge setting ona0x1ab/azure-cli). Promotion needs a live branch ref to squash and open the upstream draft, and cannot proceed from a merge commit SHA alone under the current pipeline. The merge commit is still reachable at170a6c8470b24df1d2c6f1da8fc5b91f5e06e7fc. A maintainer should either disable auto-delete-branch-on-merge on the fork repo, or recreate the two branches pointing at that commit, so the Agent Assist dispatch record can be repaired and promotion retried.
