Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Not reproduced in this session. Other error fragments: - OOMKilled - ImagePullBackOff Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/docs/ea88fecd0489a6fd27645b881a22332ef7ffd5b0/src/content/docs/platform/self-hosting/troubleshooting.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Kubernetes backend worker and task failure sections with RBAC list, init container, preflight image, and OOMKilled guidance.
