GHES secret masking can blank activation job outputs when values contain secret-like substrings, causing downstream
needs.activation.outputs.*consumers to resolve empty. That breaks artifact downloads (prefix loss) and cross-repo GitHub App/token flows (target_repo/target_repo_nameloss).Artifact prefix: remove cross-job dependency in downstream jobs
safe_outputsjobs now computeartifact-prefixlocally viacompute_artifact_prefix.sh.steps.artifact-prefix.outputs.prefix) instead of masked cross-job outputs.Target repo fallback hardening for workflow_call
targetRepoExprForWorkflowCall()→${{ needs.activation.outputs.target_repo || github.repository }}targetRepoNameExprForWorkflowCall()→${{ needs.activation.outputs.target_repo_name || github.event.repository.name }}Compiler test updates
target_repo*fallback expressions in GitHub App-related generated steps.
