Use runtime-import for markdown body instead of inlining (with recursive processing) #12687

Copilot · 2026-01-30T06:17:59Z

Complete: Merged Main and Recompiled ✅

Merge Status

Merged origin/main successfully
Resolved merge conflicts in 2 lock files
Rebuilt binary with latest changes
Recompiled all 144 workflows successfully

Merge Details

Conflicts Resolved:

.github/workflows/dependabot-burner.lock.yml
.github/workflows/test-project-url-default.lock.yml

Both files were regenerated during recompilation, so conflicts were resolved by accepting current version and recompiling.

Recompilation Results

✓ Successfully compiled 144 out of 144 workflow files
✓ All workflows use runtime-import for main markdown body
✓ Frontmatter imports still inlined at compile time

Implementation Status

All features complete and working:

Frontmatter imports → Inlined at compile time ✅
Main workflow markdown → Runtime-import macro ✅
Recursive processing → Supported with caching ✅
Circular dependency detection → Implemented ✅
All tests pass → 120/120 runtime_import tests ✅

Ready for Review

The branch is now up-to-date with main and all workflows have been recompiled with the latest changes.

Original prompt

Update the compiler and the step and renders the agentic workflow markdown body to the prompt.

Instead of inlining the text of the markdown body, use the same javascript helper as runtime-imports to import/render the markdown body into the prompt file.

This allows the user to edit the body without needing requiring compilation.

✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.

Changeset

Type: patch
Description: Start using runtime-import macros for the main workflow markdown so lock files only inline imported content, adding runtime import recursion/caching and expression handling updates so prompts and tests work with the new flow.

@copilot do not write markdown body to a separate file, parse the body from the existing workflow file on disk.

Done in commit 245da37. The compiler now uses {{#runtime-import workflows/{workflow-name}.md}} to reference the original workflow file on disk. The runtime helper parses the markdown body (extracting content after frontmatter) and processes it at runtime. No separate .body.md files are created.

@copilot make sure that runtime-import calls are processed recursively and only imported once

Done in commit 7a551a5.

Runtime-import macros are now:

Processed recursively - imported files can contain more runtime-import macros that are automatically processed
Cached and reused - each file is only imported once, subsequent references use cached content
Protected from circular dependencies - detects and throws clear errors for circular references (e.g., "Circular dependency detected: a.md -> b.md -> a.md")

All 120 tests pass, including 11 new tests covering recursive imports, caching, and circular dependency detection.
