Description
Objective
Investigate and fix three workflows with exceptionally high error rates that indicate fundamental configuration or permission issues, saving $15-20/month in wasted operations.
Context
Three workflows have error rates indicating they are broken or severely misconfigured:
- Security Fix PR: 44.3 errors/run (753 total errors in 17 runs)
- Go Logger Enhancement: 45.6 errors/run (228 errors in 5 runs)
- Dev Hawk: 20.6 errors/run (556 errors in 27 runs)
These errors waste compute resources and indicate underlying problems that need resolution.
Investigation Steps
1. Security Fix PR (44 errors/run)
File: .github/workflows/security-fix-pr.md (or similar)
Actions:
- Review recent workflow run logs in GitHub Actions UI
- Check for common error patterns:
- Permission denied errors
- Missing tool errors
- Authentication failures
- Network access issues
- Examine workflow configuration for:
- Incorrect permissions in frontmatter
- Missing required tools
- Invalid network/firewall rules
- Fix or disable workflow until issue resolved
2. Go Logger Enhancement (45.6 errors/run)
File: .github/workflows/go-logger-enhancement.md (or similar)
Actions:
- This has the highest error rate - likely completely broken
- Check if this is a test/development workflow that should be removed
- Review error logs to determine root cause
- Either fix configuration or remove workflow if obsolete
3. Dev Hawk (20.6 errors/run)
File: .github/workflows/dev-hawk.md
Actions:
- Review error patterns in recent runs
- Common issues to check:
- GitHub API permission problems
- Tool access restrictions
- Safe output configuration errors
- Update workflow configuration to resolve issues
Debugging Resources
Log Locations:
- GitHub Actions UI: Repository → Actions → Select workflow run
- Agent stdio logs: Look for
agent-stdio.login workflow artifacts - Error summaries: Check workflow run annotations
Common Fixes:
- Add missing permissions in frontmatter
- Configure required tools in
tools:section - Fix network access rules in
network:section - Update safe output configurations
Implementation Steps
- For each workflow, review at least 3 recent failed/error-heavy runs
- Document error patterns and root causes
- Apply appropriate fixes to workflow configuration
- Test fix by triggering a manual run
- If unable to fix quickly, disable workflow to stop cost waste
- Run
make recompileafter any configuration changes
Acceptance Criteria
- Security Fix PR: Error rate reduced below 5/run OR workflow disabled
- Go Logger Enhancement: Error rate reduced below 5/run OR workflow disabled
- Dev Hawk: Error rate reduced below 5/run
- Root causes documented in issue comments
- All fixes tested with successful workflow runs
- Cost savings of $15-20/month realized
Expected Impact
- Savings: $15-20/month from reduced wasted operations
- Reliability: Improved workflow success rates
- Reduced Noise: Fewer spurious errors in monitoring
