Fix daily-cli-performance workflow by adding go-make import

[Copilot]

The Daily CLI Performance workflow failed to run benchmarks due to missing Go toolchain. Rather than adding explicit setup steps, this uses the existing shared/go-make.md import to expose Go and Make commands through safe-inputs.

Changes

• Added shared/go-make.md import to workflow frontmatter

  • Provides safeinputs-go and safeinputs-make tools to the Copilot agent
  • Tools wrap Go and Make commands with proper MCP integration

• Updated benchmark execution instructions to use safe-input tools

  • Changed from direct bash (make bench 2>&1 | tee) to tool invocation pattern
  • Agent now uses: safeinputs-make with args: "bench"

Example

The agent instructions now specify:

**Step 2**: Run benchmarks using safeinputs-make

Use the **safeinputs-make** tool with args: "bench" to run the benchmark suite.

This will execute `make bench` which runs Go benchmarks and saves results to `bench_results.txt`.

The compiled workflow includes safe-input tool definitions for both go and make with shell script handlers that execute in the workflow environment.

<issue_title>[performance] Daily CLI Performance workflow missing Go toolchain setup</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Summary

The Daily CLI Performance workflow (.github/workflows/daily-cli-performance.md) cannot run benchmarks because it lacks the necessary Go toolchain setup. The workflow attempts to execute make bench but Go is not available in the execution environment.

Root Cause

The workflow configuration is missing a setup-go action before attempting to run benchmarks. The agent job runs on ubuntu-latest but doesn't include steps to:

1. Install Go compiler
2. Build the gh-aw binary
3. Install development dependencies

Current Behavior

$ which go
bash: type: go: not found

$ make bench
Permission denied and could not request permission from user

Expected Behavior

The workflow should:

1. Set up Go 1.21+ using actions/setup-go@v5
2. Install dependencies with make deps
3. Build the binary with make build
4. Run benchmarks with make bench
5. Store results in repo-memory

Proposed Solution

Add the following steps before the Copilot agent execution in .github/workflows/daily-cli-performance.md:

Alternative approach: Modify the agent instructions to download and use pre-built binaries from the latest release, or use a self-hosted runner with Go pre-installed.

Impact

• Current: Daily performance benchmarks cannot run, no trend analysis, no regression detection
• After fix: Automated daily benchmarks will track performance over time and alert on regressions

Additional Context

• Run ID: §21266633406
• Workflow: .github/workflows/daily-cli-performance.md
• Error: Go compiler not found in PATH, make commands fail with permission denied

Recommendation

This is a workflow configuration issue, not a code bug. The fix requires updating the workflow frontmatter to include proper build tooling setup before attempting to run benchmarks.
