**Resolution Reasons**: `RESOLVED`, `DUPLICATE`, `OUTDATED`, `ANSWERED`.

### Discussion Updates (`update-discussion:`)

Updates discussion title, body, or labels. Only explicitly enabled fields can be updated.

```yaml wrap
safe-outputs:
update-discussion:
title: # enable title updates
body: # enable body updates
labels: # enable label updates
allowed-labels: [bug, idea] # restrict to specific labels
max: 1 # max updates (default: 1)
target: "*" # "triggering" (default), "*", or number
target-repo: "owner/repo" # cross-repository
```

**Field Enablement**: Include `title:`, `body:`, or `labels:` keys to enable updates for those fields. Without these keys, the field cannot be updated. Setting `allowed-labels` implicitly enables label updates.

**Target**: `"triggering"` (requires discussion event), `"*"` (any discussion), or number (specific discussion).

### Agent Task Creation (`create-agent-task:`)

Creates Copilot agent tasks. Requires `COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` or `GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN` PAT—default `GITHUB_TOKEN` lacks permissions.
