The monitoring pattern page lacked documentation on two operational features: automatic failure issue generation and no-op run reporting.

Changes

docs/src/content/docs/patterns/monitoring.md

  • Run failure issues — documents how to surface agent failures as GitHub issues via create-issue, including how group-reports: true links each failure as a sub-issue under a shared "[agentics] Failed runs" parent (max 64 sub-issues):

    safe-outputs:
      create-issue:
        title-prefix: "[failed] "
        labels: [automation, failed]
      group-reports: true
  • No-op run reports — documents default behavior (no-op messages posted as issue comments) and how to suppress it without losing step summary visibility:

    safe-outputs:
      create-issue:
      noop:
        report-as-issue: false  # suppress issue comment; step summary still written

Both sections link to the relevant anchors in the Safe Outputs reference.
