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.planThe planner’s reply was read through its schema and held at least one step.
  • Each call was shown the right tools: heldplan-execute.toolsThe planner was shown no tools and the executor the task’s full toolset.

Phases

Plan: 0.0s to 42.5s, finished, 0 tool calls, $0.038

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! I have successfully taken charge of the build pipeline outage on the service desk side by following the major-incident runbook (KB-40) exactly. Here's what I've done:

Summary of Actions

INC-1 Opened - Company-wide build pipeline outage: "Build pipeline completely down - no CI runners available"

Incident Leadership Activated:

  • Incident Commander: E-401 Priya Raman (paged immediately at 2026-03-30T15:20:00Z)
  • Communications Lead: E-801 Mia Laurent

Reports Linked & Escalated:

  • T-3101 "All CI builds failing: no runners available" (severity escalated sev2→sev1)
  • T-3106 "CI completely down" (severity set unset→sev1)

Status Update Published:

  • "Impact: All CI builds failing company-wide - no runners available. Started: 14:52 UTC. Next update: 15:50 UTC."

Postmortem Scheduled:

  • T-3115 created and linked to INC-1, due at close of business on 2026-04-08 (the 5th business day after the outage, accounting for Good Friday and Easter Monday holidays)

The outage is now under active incident command with proper escalation, consolidated reporting, and a scheduled postmortem review. The incident commander has been paged and the communications lead will manage all status updates with the next one due by 15:50 UTC.
