gh-aw is shipping ambient-folders which eliminates the artifact upload/download dance. Squad's shared component has 15+ lines of artifact management (upload workspace, download in agent jobs, re-upload on completion) that will become dead code once ambient-folders lands.
Early adopters on the preview will need to manually update their compiled locks. Teams that don't migrate will carry unnecessary complexity and may hit deprecation warnings.
Proposal
Document the ambient-folders migration in Squad's gh-aw docs (what changes, what to remove, what stays)
Provide a squad aw upgrade-component command or migration guide that rewrites the shared component to use the new syntax
Detect ambient-folders availability at runtime and skip artifact steps automatically (graceful degradation)
Add a deprecation notice to artifact-based paths once ambient-folders reaches GA
Value
Smooth upgrade path when gh-aw ships ambient-folders — no broken workflows.
Closing — Squad's gh-aw workflow deliberately does not use ambient-folders. PR #1622 shipped the artifact-based bootstrap approach as the permanent design. No migration path needed.
