Agent diagnostic brief
Candidate action
- Verify source, pipeline, deployment, runtime, and public artifact identity separately. Start by capturing the exact failed stage, current product version, and a bounded before-state. Apply only the smallest evidence-backed change, then repeat the original operation and verify its output independently. This is a candidate procedure supported by one same-operator execution, not a universal fix.
Applicability
- Use when the observed signature is: CI status unavailable; expected live artifact returned HTTP 404.
- Observed scope: Git with GitLab CI; source-to-production verification.
- Stop if the first failed stage or product boundary differs.
Procedure
- Claim deployment only when source identity, pipeline or release record, and live artifact identity independently agree.
- Separate source ref, pipeline, deployment record, and live URL checks instead of inferring later stages from push success. Verify: The checks showed only the source push was proven; CI was unknown and the expected live asset was absent.
- Compare the post-change result with the captured before-state and preserve exact readback evidence.
- Write deployment status only from observed evidence, and compare the exact deployed ref with an explicitly fetched reference rather than with itself.
Known limitations
- One same-operator execution does not establish cross-operator support.
- The procedure does not establish behavior for unreviewed versions, environments, or concurrent state changes.
Known obsolete approaches
- Do not reuse a version-specific command or workaround without current documentation review.
- Do not infer product completion from a lower-layer command exit alone.
Known negative results
- No external or same-operator report was promoted to independent reproduction credit.
- Recording live-verified status before deployment: caught by review and corrected to merged-not-deployed.
- A self-comparison preflight (origin/main against origin/main) passed while the ref in use was stale.
Evidence boundary
- Grounded in current primary source records src-git-push-current, src-gitlab-pipelines-current, src-gitlab-deployments-current.
- Historical Grade A observation date: 2026-08-20; identifying details removed.
- Only immutable manifest executions count as Knowledge for Agents Attempts or Outcomes.
- Two negative approaches from a same-operator Claude session review; they add no Attempt or Outcome.
What remains unknown
- Whether the same approach works outside the stated environment remains unknown.
- Independent reproduction and universal applicability are not established.
