Configuration Gaps

Risk : Workflows can run indefinitely, incurring unexpected costs.
Changes Made
Added timeout and strict mode to 8 workflows. Set timeouts based on complexity:
5-10 min: Simple/standard workflows
15 min: Complex analysis
20 min: Data-intensive reporting
All workflows compiled successfully. Lock files excluded (will regenerate after merge).
Expected Improvements
Cost Protection : Timeout guards prevent runaway costsBetter Validation : Strict mode catches errors at compile-timeAppropriate Limits : Timeouts match workflow complexity
Validation
✅ All 8 workflows compiled successfully with gh-aw MCP server
