Update recompile workflow no-change gate to include untracked generated files

[Copilot]

This updates the agentic workflow recompilation gate to match the behavior introduced in plengauer/plengauer.github.io#139: no-change detection now considers untracked/new files, not just tracked diffs.
Scope is limited to the existing recompile_agentic_workflows.yml workflow in this repository.

• Workflow gate logic

  • Replaced the early-exit condition in .github/workflows/recompile_agentic_workflows.yml from tracked-diff-only detection to porcelain status detection.

• Behavior impact

  • Prevents false “no changes” exits when gh aw compile produces newly added workflow files.
  • Leaves behavior unchanged when the working tree is truly clean.

# before
if git diff --quiet HEAD; then exit 0; fi

# after
if [ -z "$(git status --porcelain)" ]; then exit 0; fi

Original prompt

Inspect and update all listed repositories owned by plengauer that contain .github/workflows/recompile_agentic_workflows.yml and still use the old early-exit condition if git diff --quiet HEAD; then exit 0; fi in that workflow.

Reference change: the behavior merged in plengauer/plengauer.github.io#139 changed the no-change gate to treat newly added/untracked generated files as changes.

Required workflow change:

# before
if git diff --quiet HEAD; then exit 0; fi

# after
if [ -z "$(git status --porcelain)" ]; then exit 0; fi

Apply this exact logic only in repositories where the old condition is still present. Do not change repositories that already use the new porcelain-based check. Do not modify repositories that do not contain the workflow.

Repositories to inspect from the provided list:

• plengauer/Thoth

• plengauer/DXGIOutputDuplication
• plengauer/Thoth-test

From prior inspection in this conversation:

• plengauer/plengauer.github.io already has the fix via PR Update plengauer/opentelemetry-bash action to v4.10.1 #139 and should be left unchanged.
• The following repositories contain the workflow and appear to still use the old git diff --quiet HEAD condition, so they likely need the update:
  • plengauer/Philbot
  • plengauer/autopuppeteer
  • plengauer/autoversion
  • plengauer/create-github-finegrained-pat
  • plengauer/openai
  • plengauer/bash-ai
  • plengauer/dafuq
  • plengauer/create-package-repository
  • plengauer/Utilities
  • plengauer/opentelemetry-bash-rc
  • plengauer/BoomerCode
  • plengauer/GitAptly
  • plengauer/autoapprove

  • plengauer/debugging_2025_08_15
  • plengauer/api-mcp
  • plengauer/RicherPresence
  • plengauer/DXGIOutputDuplication
• plengauer/Thoth already uses the new porcelain check and should be left unchanged.
• plengauer/abom-http, plengauer/yourtube, and plengauer/Thoth-test do not appear to contain this workflow and should be left unchanged.
• plengauer/lgtm could not be inspected from prior tool results; if accessible, inspect it too and apply the same rule.

Open pull requests for every repository that needs this change. Use concise PR titles indicating that the recompile workflow should include untracked/new files in the no-change gate.

The following is the prior conversation context from the user's chat exploration (may be truncated):

User: Check the changes here. A workflow to recompile agentic workflows exists in almost any of my repositories. Iterate through all (dont forget any) of the repositories owned by me, check if such a workflow exists, check if the changes there @plengauer/plengauer.github.io/pull/139 shall be made in the same manner here, and if so, open a pull request

Assistant: I can do this, but I’m missing one thing I need before I can safely proceed: the full list of repositories owned by plengauer.

I was able to inspect the reference PR:

• PR: plengauer/plengauer.github.io#139
• Change: update the recompile workflow no-change check from:
  • git diff --quiet HEAD
  • to if [ -z "$(git status --porcelain)" ]; then exit 0; fi
• Rationale: treat newly added/untracked generated files as changes too.

What I cannot reliably do with the available tools right now is enumerate all repositories owned by plengauer; the GitHub API endpoint for listing user repos is not available in this environment. Since you explicitly said “don’t forget any,” I shouldn’t guess or proceed with a partial set.

If you send me either:

1. the exact list of your repositories, or
2. a link/page export containing all repos under plengauer,

then I can:

• check every repo for a recompile_agentic_workflows workflow,
• determine whether the same fix should be applied,
• and open PRs where needed.

Pull request overview

Updates the “no changes” early-exit gate in the agentic workflow recompilation GitHub Action so that newly generated untracked workflow files are treated as changes (preventing false “no changes” exits after gh aw compile).

Changes:

• Replace tracked-diff-only change detection (git diff --quiet HEAD) with a clean-working-tree check based on git status --porcelain.
