Problem

Self-driving setup requires connecting the PostHog GitHub App. When a user can't or won't connect, the skill emits [ABORT] github connection declined, which SELF_DRIVING_ABORT_CASES correctly turns into a friendly "GitHub connection required" outro.

But the ABORT handler in the linear runner also built a WizardError for the matched case and handed it to wizardAbort, which calls captureException on any error. So an expected user decline became an error-tracking issue — and because the stack frames point at version-specific minified bin.js line numbers, each release likely re-fingerprints it as a brand-new issue.

Changes

Only pass a WizardError to wizardAbort for unmatched (genuinely unexpected) aborts. A matched AbortCase is an expected, program-defined outcome, so we skip exception capture for it. The wizard: agent aborted analytics event still fires for every abort (matched or not), so the signal is preserved without the error-tracking noise.

Test plan

  • pnpm build && pnpm test — 1268 tests pass.
  • pnpm fix — clean.
  • The wizard-abort contract this relies on ("no error → no captureException") is already covered by existing tests.

Created with PostHog Code from an inbox report.

A matched AbortCase (e.g. the user declining the GitHub App connection
during self-driving setup) is an expected, program-defined outcome, not a
crash. The linear runner was still building a WizardError for it and handing
it to wizardAbort, which unconditionally calls captureException — turning an
expected user decline into an error-tracking issue.

Only pass a WizardError to wizardAbort for unmatched (genuinely unexpected)
aborts. Matched cases still fire the `agent aborted` analytics event, so the
signal is preserved without polluting error tracking.
