🏥 CI Failure Investigation - Run #35529

Summary

Integration test jobs fail because pkg/workflow/safe_outputs_permissions_test.go references ptrBool, but the helper only existed in a file guarded by //go:build !integration and is therefore omitted when building with the integration tag.

Failure Details

• Run: 22006398304
• Commit: 4956963
• Trigger: push

Root Cause Analysis

go test -tags integration compiles the workflow package with the integration build tag, but ptrBool was defined in compiler_orchestrator_test.go which is excluded from that build. When safe_outputs_permissions_test.go uses ptrBool, the compiler reports undefined: ptrBool and the package fails before any tests run.

Failed Jobs and Errors

• Integration: Workflow Validation – pkg/workflow/safe_outputs_permissions_test.go:168:28: undefined: ptrBool
• Integration: Workflow GitHub & Git – same compile failure
• Integration: Workflow Cache – same compile failure
• Integration: Workflow Actions & Containers – same compile failure
• Integration: Workflow String & Sanitization – same compile failure

Investigation Findings

• All failing jobs run go test with the integration tag, which leaves out helpers defined inside !integration files.
• The compile failure occurs before the test runner executes because the symbol used in multiple test cases is missing from the build.

Recommended Actions

• Move ptrBool into a _test.go file without restrictive build tags so it is available to both integration and non-integration suites.
• Run go test -tags integration ./pkg/workflow (or the relevant subset) whenever shared test helpers are added to catch these undefined symbol errors immediately.

Prevention Strategies

• Keep shared test helpers in files that compile irrespective of the integration tag so every build sees the same helpers.
• Automate an explicit go test -tags integration check for workflow packages touched by a change to ensure compilation succeeds before merging.

AI Team Self-Improvement

When adding helpers that span both regular and integration suites, place them in files without !integration build tags and validate the helper by building with -tags integration so undefined references are caught early.

Historical Context

No prior CI Failure Doctor investigation in the cache described this undefined: ptrBool compile failure.

Adding another data point: run 22006877774 (CI run #35539) also failed all of the integration workflow jobs (Workflow Tools & MCP, Workflow Cache, Workflow Rendering & Bundling, Workflow Compiler, Workflow Validation) because go test -tags integration ./pkg/workflow stops with pkg/workflow/safe_outputs_permissions_test.go:168:28: undefined: ptrBool. The root cause is still the missing helper in integration builds.
