Evidence from `audit` + `audit-diff` (failed [§27388585178](https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/27388585178) vs successful baseline [§27383667182](https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/27383667182)):\\n\\n<details><summary>Audit / audit-diff evidence</summary>\\n\\n- Failed run: `turns=0`, `0` GitHub API calls, `0` tokens, `agent` job **skipped** — the agent never started.\\n- Baseline run: `41` turns, `32` API calls, `api.githubcopilot.com` reached normally.\\n- Delta classification: `turns_decrease` — entire behavioral collapse is the pre-agent abort, not an agent regression.\\n- Mechanism: `GH_AW_MAX_DAILY_AI_CREDITS: ${{ vars.GH_AW_DEFAULT_MAX_DAILY_AI_CREDITS || '5000' }}` enforced in the activation job of every compiled lock file.\\n\\n</details>\\n\\nThis is **distinct** from the existing AIC issues: #38624 raises a per-run `max-ai-credits` cap (old 1000-AIC `CAPIError 429`) for one aggregator, and parent #38645 adds a soft pre-cap guard for heavy **aggregators**. Neither addresses **high-frequency PR reviewers** tripping the **activation-time daily cumulative** guardrail.\\n\\n### Proposed remediation\\n\\nDegrade the daily-guardrail breach to a clean skip instead of a failure: when `Check daily workflow token guardrail` trips, exit the run as **neutral/skipped with a `noop`-style summary** (or `continue-on-error` on that step gated to skip the agent) so it stops producing red runs and `[aw] ... failed` issues. Secondarily, allow a per-workflow override of `GH_AW_MAX_DAILY_AI_CREDITS` and raise it for PR reviewers triggered on every push.\\n\\n### Success criteria / verification\\n\\n- [ ] Daily-AIC-budget breach yields a neutral/skipped conclusion (not `failure`) and emits no failure issue.\\n- [ ] Test Quality Sentinel and Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer produce zero `failure`-conclusion runs attributable to the daily guardrail for 3 consecutive days.\\n- [ ] Per-workflow `max-ai-credits` override is documented and honored at activation.\\n\\n### Other failures observed this window (context, not yet actionable clusters)\\n\\n<details><summary>Singleton / smoke-test failures</summary>\\n\\n- **Smoke Copilot** (workflow_dispatch): `Failed to add reaction: Not Found` at activation (×3) — [§27387450863](https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/27387450863). Likely missing comment context on manual dispatch.\\n- **Smoke Gemini** (pull_request): agent failure, 56 blocked domains incl `*.googleapis.com` — [§27387269527](https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/27387269527). Last green Jun 6; possible firewall-allowlist drift for the Gemini engine.\\n- **PR Code Quality Reviewer**: real agent failure, 3.05M tokens
