Workflow Failure
Workflow: Design Decision Gate 🏗️
Branch: gh-aw/pre-created/32763629837-1
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/32771830842
Warning
Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
-
push_to_pull_request_branch failed after 2 attempts
Attempt 1: detached HEAD state, no GITHUB_HEAD_REF env var available. Attempt 2: supplied branch name explicitly (gh-aw/pre-created/32763629837-1) but refs/remotes/origin/gh-aw/pre-created/32763629837-1 is not present in the checkout (checked out at pull/55472/merge, not the PR head ref), and the MCP server has no credentials to fetch it. The draft ADR commit (cf27b5c) is prepared locally at docs/adr/55472-batch-parallel-test-adoption-pkg-cli.md.
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.
Warning
Engine Max Runs Exceeded: The claude engine hit the workflow max runs guardrail and could not continue.
This signal was detected from engine runtime logs.
What to do next
- Increase workflow
max-runsif the task legitimately needs more model invocations. - Reduce per-run model calls by simplifying prompts, limiting retries, or breaking work into smaller steps.
- Review the run logs to identify repeated loops or retries that consumed invocation budget unexpectedly.
