Workflow Failure
Workflow: Metrics Collector
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/32924199594
Warning
Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
-
infrastructure_error
context-rebuild circuit breaker tripped: rebuild_factor=26.23 cumulative_input_tokens=1537802 thresholds=25/1000000
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 Failure: The codex engine terminated unexpectedly.
