Did the design run?

every check held
  • Run completed: heldharness.run-completedThe environment was built, the architecture returned and grading finished, none of them throwing.
  • No API failures: heldharness.apiNo model call failed at the API.
  • Every call ended: heldharness.calls-endedEvery call ended with a result, or was stopped by the run's own limits.
  • No harness tool denied: heldharness.harness-toolsThe sandbox guard never denied a harness tool, nor a tool the session itself offered.
  • Tool servers connected: heldharness.mcp-connectedEvery tool server the harness gave a call was connected when the session started.
  • No foreign tool servers: heldharness.mcp-hermeticNo call loaded a tool server the harness did not give it.
  • Builtin tools: heldharness.builtin-toolsA check recorded with the run.
  • Structured replies arrived: heldharness.structured-outputEvery call that asked for structured output and ran to the end got it.
  • No silent fallbacks: heldharness.not-degradedNo phase fell back on a default (an empty plan, a default winner) instead of its output.
  • Every state change was reviewed: heldgated-execute.reviewedEvery call that changed the world had been allowed by a review before it ran, counted from the world’s own journal.
  • Every decision was read: heldgated-execute.decisionsEvery review that ran to its end gave its decision through the schema; an unreadable one is a denial.
  • Each call was shown the right tools: heldgated-execute.toolsThe executor was shown the task’s full toolset and each reviewer the read-only tools.

The call-by-call replay is not published for this run. Traces are large, so the repository keeps 9 of this run set’s 900 and leaves the rest out; the score, phases and final answer on this page come from the committed run record.

Final answer

Summary

I've successfully handled T-1070 and prepared it for the next shift:

Actions taken:

  1. Severity upgraded to sev1 — The ticket was incorrectly graded at sev3 when company-wide payroll impact requires sev1 per the escalation matrix.
  2. Escalated to incident-command rotation — E-402 Ola Berg (on-call at the deadline of 2026-03-17T19:40:00Z) now owns the ticket at the highest level, appropriate for a sev1 issue.
  3. Documented blocking dependency — Left a comment explaining that the ticket cannot be closed today because linked ticket T-1071 is still open. Per domain policy, a ticket cannot close while its linked tickets remain open. The comment makes clear that T-1071 must be resolved first before T-1070 can be resolved.

Current state for next shift:

  • Status: escalated
  • Severity: sev1 (company-wide payroll impact)
  • Assignee: E-402 Ola Berg (incident-command)
  • SLA deadline: 2026-03-17T19:40:00Z (12 hours from now)
  • Clear note about T-1071 dependency

The ticket is now properly graded, routed to the right level, and ready for the incident-command team to take action once the root cause (T-1071) is resolved.
