UPDATE: Effective September 21, 2026, support for all pipeline values starting with pipeline.trigger_parameters.circleci.* and pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.* will be discontinued. These values will no longer be guaranteed to be present in pipelines after this date. The previously communicated date for end of life was August 1, 2026.
These values are superseded by the pipeline.trigger.*, pipeline.event.*, and pipeline.git.* namespaces, which provide equivalent information in a more consistent format.
