[aw] Safe Output Health Monitor reported incomplete result #66442

Description

@github-actions

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Safe Output Health Monitor
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/37571632110

Warning

Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.

Error details:
create_discussion quota (1/run) already consumed by an earlier accidental test call before the real report was ready; real report saved to cache-memory but not published
The full Safe Output Health Report for 2026-10-07 was analyzed and written, but could not be published as a discussion this run because the create_discussion safe-output quota (1 per run) was already consumed by an earlier exploratory test call made in error while verifying the CLI invocation syntax (a placeholder title/body "test"/"test body content" was submitted). That test call is a genuine, real create_discussion write this run and cannot be undone from this session.

The complete, real report (same one that should have been published) is saved at /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/safe-output-health/discussion-2026-10-07-body.md in the repo's cache-memory artifact, with its supporting data in 2026-10-07.json, and index.json/recurring-failures.json already updated with this cycle's findings. A maintainer or the next scheduled run should either manually post that saved body as a discussion, or this workflow can be re-run to publish it (cache-memory already has the finished analysis, so a re-run should be fast).

Top-line findings from the completed analysis (for immediate visibility since the full report could not be posted):
1. CRITICAL: This monitor's own cadence check shows 600+ hours (last success 2026-09-12) since a discussion was successfully published, even though cache evidence shows the analysis pipeline ran to completion on 2026-10-04 and 2026-10-06 without a saved discussion body for either date -- strong evidence this monitor has been silently failing to publish for 3+ consecutive cycles before today's unrelated mistake.
2. 4 of 185 Safe-outputs job executions failed this cycle (97.8% success). 1 new standalone pattern: AI Moderator run 37567313624 failed at the "Upload Safe Outputs Items" step after "Process Safe Outputs" succeeded (never seen before). 3 others (Smoke Codex, Smoke Copilot - AOAI apikey, Smoke Copilot) look like downstream consequences of Agent job failures in the same runs.
3. mcp_failures/missing_tools were null across all 185 runs -- no MCP-transport-level issues.
4. Several long-standing recurring signatures (approve_workflow_run policy-decline miscategorization, push_to_pull_request_branch allowed-files decline, triggering-target hard-fail) remain unresolved after 1-7+ weeks with no shipped fix.

This is a structured incompletion signal (report_incomplete), not a real task outcome. Any other safe outputs emitted alongside this signal (e.g., comments) describe the failure state, not a completed review or action.

Action Required

Tip

Stop reporting this workflow as a failure

To stop a workflow from creating failure issues, set report-failure-as-issue: false in its frontmatter:
