[plan] Debug and fix high-error workflows #7334

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

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:

  1. Review recent workflow run logs in GitHub Actions UI
  2. Check for common error patterns:
    • Permission denied errors
    • Missing tool errors
    • Authentication failures
    • Network access issues
  3. Examine workflow configuration for:
    • Incorrect permissions in frontmatter
    • Missing required tools
    • Invalid network/firewall rules
  4. 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:

  1. This has the highest error rate - likely completely broken
  2. Check if this is a test/development workflow that should be removed
  3. Review error logs to determine root cause
  4. Either fix configuration or remove workflow if obsolete

3. Dev Hawk (20.6 errors/run)

File: .github/workflows/dev-hawk.md

Actions:

  1. Review error patterns in recent runs
  2. Common issues to check:
    • GitHub API permission problems
    • Tool access restrictions
    • Safe output configuration errors
  3. 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.log in 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

  1. For each workflow, review at least 3 recent failed/error-heavy runs
  2. Document error patterns and root causes
  3. Apply appropriate fixes to workflow configuration
  4. Test fix by triggering a manual run
  5. If unable to fix quickly, disable workflow to stop cost waste
  6. Run make recompile after 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
