Investigation: CI failure #14239 is false alarm, no changes needed

[Copilot]

CI Failure Doctor reported "Integration: Workflow Misc Part 2" failed in run 21768395392 with no visible error. Investigation shows this is a false alarm.

Findings

All jobs successful: Query of run 21768395392 shows 53/53 jobs with "success" status via GitHub API

Reported job doesn't exist: "Integration: Workflow Misc Part 2" not present in run's job list (only "Misc Part 1" exists)

All tests pass locally:

• Unit tests: bash_anonymous_validation_test.go validates anonymous syntax rejection
• Integration tests: 147 tests in pkg/workflow, 0 failures
• Workflows compile successfully with bash validation from PR Remove anonymous bash tool syntax, require explicit configuration #14222

Root Cause

CI Failure Doctor likely generated issue from incomplete data:

• Run may have been cancelled/re-run before job executed
• Agent couldn't access test artifacts (HTTP 403)
• No actual test failures in codebase

Recommendation

Close #14239 as not reproducible. PR #14222 ("Remove anonymous bash tool syntax") merged successfully and all validations working correctly.

<issue_title>[CI Failure Doctor] Integration Workflow Misc Part 2 fails without obvious error</issue_title>
<issue_description># 🏥 CI Failure Investigation - Run github/gh-aw#34146

Summary

Integration: Workflow Misc Part 2 (matrix job running the uncategorized pkg/workflow integration tests) exited with go test returning FAIL but no explicit test failure is visible in the available log snippet.

Failure Details

• Run: 21768395392
• Commit: a42010db1473501cc8ba8719c95039084e7a3d73
• Trigger: push

Root Cause Analysis

Currently unknown — the job terminates with go test reporting FAIL github.com/github/gh-aw/pkg/workflow 11.436s, yet the streamed logs only show normal warnings and the final FAIL summary line. I could not access the JSON artifact or reproduce the failure locally to identify which specific test or validation tripped the suite.

Failed Jobs and Errors

• Integration: Workflow Misc Part 2 – go test -v -parallel=8 -timeout=10m -tags 'integration' -skip '...' ./pkg/workflow exited with code 1 and printed FAIL\tgithub.com/github/gh-aw/pkg/workflow\t11.436s without any --- FAIL blocks in the captured logs.

Investigation Findings

• The stored job log terminates with the warning about missing permissions plus the summary FAIL line, but no failure message before that (see logs_content from github-actions_get).
• Attempted to download test-result-integration-Workflow Misc Part 2.zip using the download URL returned by download_workflow_run_artifact, but the download request was rejected with HTTP 403, so I could not inspect the JSON for the failing test.
• Local reproduction using GOROOT=/opt/hostedtoolcache/go/1.24.12/x64 go test ... is blocked because the repository requires Go 1.25; the toolchain download hits proxy.golang.org and fails with 403 Forbidden in this environment.

Recommended Actions

• Re-run the Integration: Workflow Misc Part 2 matrix job (or the entire integration workflow) to refresh logs; capture the failing test name (the JSON artifact or the console output should highlight which test set t.Fatalf).
• Ensure the test-result-integration-Workflow Misc Part 2.json artifact is downloaded (grant access if needed) and inspect it for 'Action":"fail"' entries to pinpoint the failing test.
• Once the failing test is known, update the corresponding pkg/workflow code/tests so that the new anonymous-bash validation (or any other recent change) matches the expectation for that scenario.

Prevention Strategies

• Make sure integration job logs include the failing test name (e.g., by relying on the -json output stored in the uploaded artifact) so future investigations can read test-result-integration-*.json without chasing missing console buffers.
• Document how to handle Go 1.25 toolchain downloads locally (e.g., set GOTOOLCHAIN=local or vendor the toolchain) so reproductions succeed even behind restricted networks.

AI Team Self-Improvement

Always download the test-result-integration-* artifact using download_workflow_run_artifact before assuming the failure message is missing; if the download returns 403/403, mention that explicitly and ask maintainers to rerun with artifact access so future agents can inspect the JSON directly.

Historical Context

This failure appears to be new for this run; I found no prior investigations in the cached data that match Integration: Workflow Misc Part 2 failing with a silent go test exit.
