Error Clusters

None identified today. All safe output job executions completed successfully. The 9 skipped safe_outputs jobs were correctly skipped due to upstream agent failures (not safe output job bugs).

---

Root Cause Analysis

Safe Output Infrastructure

No errors in safe output infrastructure. The handler manager, individual handlers (create_issue, create_discussion, add_comment, missing_tool), and temporary ID resolution all functioned correctly.

Key validations confirmed working:

• Temporary ID chaining: Smoke Temporary ID test passed — aw_test01 through aw_test03 created correctly, cross-referenced in comment body
• Max count enforcement: create_issue with max: 1 enforced correctly (Duplicate Code Detector)
• Copilot assignment: Issues queued correctly for Copilot assignment
• Sub-issue linking: Smoke Temporary ID correctly linked sub-issues to parent issues

Agent Failures (Out of Scope for Safe Output Health, but Tracked for Context)

View Agent Failures (9 runs - NOT safe output job failures)

These failures are at the agent level. Safe output jobs were correctly skipped when agents fail. Conclusion jobs correctly tracked failures to existing tracking issues.

Cluster A: Lockdown Mode — Missing GitHub Token (8 runs)

This is a recurring configuration issue. Affected workflows have lockdown: true in their frontmatter but lack the required GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN secret.

Workflow	Run ID	Conclusion Issue
Issue Monster	§22266173110	#17387
Issue Monster	§22266577612	#17387
PR Triage Agent	§22267381557	#16801
Issue Monster	§22267511918	#17387
Daily Issues Report Generator	§22268460982	#17640
Issue Monster	§22268214469	#17387
Issue Monster	§22269406689	#17387
Issue Monster	§22270287153	#17387

Error message:

Lockdown mode is enabled (lockdown: true) but no custom GitHub token is configured.
Please configure: GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN or GH_AW_GITHUB_MCP_SERVER_TOKEN

Cluster B: Example: Custom Error Patterns — Agent Job Failure (1 run)

Workflow	Run ID
Example: Custom Error Patterns	§22266651330

The agent job ran for ~21 minutes before failing. No safe output items were created. The workflow appears to be a test workflow that exercises error patterns; this may be expected behavior in some contexts.

Notable Events

Missing Tool Reports (Successfully Processed)

Two workflows reported missing tools — both were processed correctly by the safe output handler:

1. Multi-Device Docs Tester (§22268939316)

   • Tool: Playwright browser network access for live viewport testing
   • Root Cause: Playwright MCP browser is network-sandboxed; localhost and all URLs are blocked (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED / ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT)
   • Fallback: Agent fell back to static HTML analysis across 121 built pages — all 12 checks passed
   • Status: Handled gracefully; missing_tool safe output processed successfully

2. Auto-Triage Issues (§22267567118)

   • Tool: MCP payload file access
   • Root Cause: Access to /tmp/gh-aw/mcp-payloads/ returned permission-denied
   • Status: Agent reported via missing_tool safe output; create_discussion also created successfully

---

Recommendations

Immediate Actions

1. Configure Lockdown Token for Recurring-Failure Workflows (High Priority)
   • Affected Workflows: Issue Monster (×6 today, ×1 yesterday), PR Triage Agent (×1), Daily Issues Report Generator (×1)
   • Action: gh aw secrets set GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN --value "YOUR_FINE_GRAINED_PAT"
   • Tracking Issues: #17387 (Issue Monster), #16801 (PR Triage Agent)
   • Impact: Issue Monster runs 6 times per day and always fails — represents persistent waste

Safe Output Infrastructure

No immediate bugs requiring fixes. The following positive behaviors were confirmed:

• ✅ Temporary ID chaining (create → reference → add_comment) working
• ✅ Max count enforcement on create_issue
• ✅ Copilot assignment queueing
• ✅ Sub-issue linking via search-and-link
• ✅ missing_tool and noop handlers correctly processed
• ✅ Conclusion job correctly creates/updates failure tracking issues
• ✅ Error reading agent output file: ENOENT in conclusion is expected behavior (not a bug)

Process Improvements

1. Playwright MCP + Sandbox Compatibility

   • Consider documenting that Playwright MCP cannot access local servers (including localhost) in sandboxed environments
   • Workflows relying on local preview servers should use static analysis as the primary method, not fallback

2. Issue Monster Frequency Review

   • Issue Monster triggers every 30m but has been consistently failing for at least 2 days
   • Reduce frequency or add a pre-check before attempting the lockdown-mode agent invocation

Historical Context and Trends

Date	Runs	Safe Output Failures	Success Rate	Main Issue
2026-02-21	23	2	88.9%	Git Branch Resolution Bug (push_to_pull_request_branch)
2026-02-22	35	0	100.0%	None

Trends:

• Safe output failure rate: Improved (2 → 0 failures)
• Agent failure count: Increased (lockdown failures more frequent, especially Issue Monster)
• EP001 (Git Branch Resolution Bug): Not observed today — may be resolved or no triggering runs
• EP002 (Lockdown Mode): Ongoing — 8 occurrences today vs. 1 yesterday

Metrics and KPIs

• Overall Safe Output Success Rate: 100.0%
• Most Reliable Job Types: create_issue, create_discussion, add_comment (all 100%)
• Most Problematic Job Type: None today
• Items Successfully Processed: 12 total (6 create_issue, 3 create_discussion, 3 add_comment)

Next Steps

• Configure GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN for Issue Monster, PR Triage Agent, Daily Issues Report Generator
• Verify whether Smoke Multi PR is still triggering EP001 (Git Branch Resolution Bug) on next PR-triggered run
• Consider reducing Issue Monster trigger frequency while token is unconfigured
• Document Playwright MCP network sandbox limitation in workflow development guide
