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.
  • The plan was a plan: heldplan-execute-verify.planThe planner’s reply was read through its schema and held at least one step.
  • Every verdict was read: heldplan-execute-verify.verdictsEvery review round ended with a verdict read from the schema reply, not a default.
  • The loop did what its verdicts said: heldplan-execute-verify.loopEvery verdict that called for a revision got one, and nothing was revised without such a verdict.
  • Each call was shown the right tools: heldplan-execute-verify.toolsThe planner was shown no tools, the verifier the read-only ones, and the executor and reviser the full toolset.

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

Perfect! The issue has been fixed.

What I corrected:

  • escalated_to field: Changed from E-402 Ola Berg to E-401 Priya Raman, who is the correct incident-command on-call engineer at the 2026-03-17T10:20:00Z deadline.

Current ticket state:

  • Severity: sev1 (company-wide payroll impact)
  • Status: escalated
  • Assigned to: E-401 Priya Raman (incident-command on-call at deadline)
  • Escalated to: E-401 Priya Raman (now consistent with assignee and deadline)
  • SLA deadline: 2026-03-17T10:20:00Z (60-minute response target from triage at 09:20:00Z)
  • Blocked by: T-1071 (replica timeout - must be fixed before payroll batch can rerun)

The ticket is now properly configured for the next shift to pick up, with the escalation correctly routed to the right engineer at the right time.
