[workshop-sync] workshop/side-quest-enterprise-setup.md: unverifiable GHES 3.12 minimum version claim

[github-actions]

Workshop file reviewed

workshop/side-quest-enterprise-setup.md

Problem

The file states:

Agentic workflows require GHES 3.12 or later. On earlier versions, the Copilot cloud agent feature is unavailable regardless of licensing or policy settings.

and includes a support table row citing "GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) 3.12+" / "< 3.12" as the support boundary.

I could not find this "GHES 3.12" minimum documented anywhere in gh-aw's own reference docs (github-agentic-workflows.md, syntax-core.md, syntax-agentic.md, self-hosted-runners.md, enterprise-configuration, engines.md, faq.md). The only GHES version threshold gh-aw's docs document is unrelated: GHES 3.21.x and earlier need "GHES compatibility mode" (aw.json ghes: true or gh aw compile --ghes) so the compiler emits older upload-artifact@v3.2.2 / download-artifact@v3.1.0 actions instead of v4+, because those older GHES releases predate the @actions/artifact v2.0.0 support needed for v4+ actions.

Additionally, GitHub's currently supported GHES versions are 3.17–3.22 — version 3.12 is already end-of-life and not a meaningful "current" boundary for a workshop maintained today.

Current correct syntax / behaviour

There is no documented minimum GHES version specifically for agentic workflows / Copilot cloud agent support. The real, documented GHES-specific consideration for gh-aw is the artifact-action compatibility mode boundary (GHES 3.21.x and earlier need ghes: true in aw.json, or gh aw compile --ghes), not a general "requires GHES 3.12+" feature gate.

Suggested fix

Remove the specific "GHES 3.12 or later" claim and the corresponding support-table row/column that imply a documented minimum version. Replace with generic guidance directing learners to:

1. Confirm with their enterprise admin whether Copilot Enterprise and agentic-workflow support (cloud agent, Actions, network egress) are enabled for their GHES instance.
2. Confirm whether their GHES version requires gh-aw's "GHES compatibility mode" (aw.json ghes: true or gh aw compile --ghes) for artifact-action compatibility, per the Enterprise Configuration and Self-Hosted Runners reference docs — rather than citing an unverified specific version number.
