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.

Final answer

Perfect. The incident response is now fully established. Let me provide a summary of what I've completed:

Summary

I have successfully taken charge of the build-pipeline service outage and executed the major incident response by the book:

Incident Created

  • INC-1: "Build pipeline service outage - all CI builds failing"
  • Opened at 2026-03-30T15:20:00Z for the build-pipeline service

Incident Leadership Established

  • Commander: E-401 Priya Raman (incident-command rotation) - paged immediately
  • Communications Lead: E-801 Mia Laurent (comms rotation) - assigned for status updates

Reports Linked to Incident

Linked 6 open tickets that are reports of this company-wide outage:

  • T-3101: "All CI builds failing: no runners available" (company-wide, sev1, assigned to E-101)
  • T-3102: "Mobile builds stuck in the queue" (department, sev2)
  • T-3103: "Pipeline never starts" (team, sev2)
  • T-3104: "Builds hang at waiting for runner" (team, sev2)
  • T-3105: "Cannot trigger a build for my branch" (single-user, sev4)
  • T-3106: "CI completely down" (company-wide, sev1, assigned to E-101)

Severities and SLAs Set

  • Company-wide impact tickets raised to sev1 (60-min response target)
  • Department/team impact tickets set to sev2 (240-min response target)
  • Single-user impact ticket at sev4 (1440-min response target)
  • Critical sev1 tickets assigned to E-101 (platform-primary on-call) with immediate deadlines

Communications Initiated

  • First status update posted: "Impact: All CI builds failing company-wide due to unavailable build runners. Started: 15:20 UTC. Next update: 15:50 UTC."

The incident structure is now in place with clear command hierarchy, communications channel, and service ownership. The incident commander has full visibility of all related reports and can coordinate the technical response to restore the build system.
