Repo Assist run #24221061841 completed successfully but produced zero safe outputs, which the infrastructure treats as a failure. The agent should have called noop to explicitly signal no action was needed.

The existing noop instruction was buried in the "Safe Output Discipline" section at the bottom of the file — not at the actual decision points where the agent concludes "nothing to do."

Changes

  • repo-assist.md: Added noop reminders at two decision points:
    • Command Mode: when slash command instructions yield no actionable work
    • Task FINAL step 6: when genuinely nothing was done across all tasks
  • regression-pr-shepherd.md: Added noop instruction when no eligible PRs exist after filtering (same gap)
  • Lock files regenerated via gh aw compile

…lows

Reinforce noop requirement at key decision points:
- repo-assist: Command Mode exit path and Task FINAL fallthrough
- regression-pr-shepherd: When no eligible PRs exist

Fixes #17258 workflow failure (no safe outputs produced)
