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.
  • All three proposers ran: heldpropose-select.proposalsThree proposers ran in parallel, each from its own angle, and none was starved while another ran.
  • The selector chose: heldpropose-select.selectionThe selector picked a proposal by a valid number, read from its schema reply and not a default.
  • Each call was shown the right tools: heldpropose-select.toolsEach proposer was shown the read-only tools, the selector none, and the executor 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

MAJOR INCIDENT RESPONSE COMPLETE

I have successfully executed the company-wide build pipeline outage response per KB-40 (Major Incident Runbook). Here's what was executed:

Actions Taken (in strict KB-40 sequence):

  1. Opened Incident INC-1 at 15:20 UTC

    • Title: "Build Pipeline Outage - No Healthy Build Runners"
    • Service: build-pipeline

  2. Paged Incident Commander (E-401 Priya Raman)

    • On-call for incident-command rotation until 16:00 UTC (40 minutes remaining)
    • Page sent immediately; she takes command now

  3. Linked Outage Reports to Incident

    • T-3101: "All CI builds failing: no runners available"
    • T-3102: "Mobile builds stuck in the queue"
    • T-3103: "Pipeline never starts"
    • T-3104: "Builds hang at waiting for runner"
    • T-3105: "Cannot trigger a build for my branch"
    • T-3106: "CI completely down" (automated alert)
    • ✅ Excluded T-3107 (flaky test, unrelated, pre-dates outage)

  4. Raised All Linked Reports to Severity 1

    • Escalation matrix confirms: build-pipeline + company-wide impact = sev1
    • Existing SLA deadlines preserved per handbook policy
    • T-3106 deadline set to 16:20 UTC (60-minute response target from triage)

  5. Named Communications Lead

    • E-803 Elif Demir (comms-secondary coverage)
    • Note: E-801 Mia Laurent on sick leave per domain policy; backup rotation engaged

  6. Posted First Status Update

    • Published to company status page
    • Format: Impact scope, start time (14:52 UTC), next update window (16:00 UTC)
    • Next update due no more than 30 minutes from now

  7. Opened Postmortem Ticket (T-3115)

    • Linked to INC-1
    • Due: 17:00 UTC on 2026-04-08 (5th business day, accounting for Good Friday 4/3 and Easter Monday 4/6)

Current Incident State:

  • Commander: E-401 Priya Raman (paged, in shift until 16:00)
  • Comms Lead: E-803 Elif Demir (covers until 20:00, then E-802 Sam Okafor)
  • Status Update Cycle: 30-minute cadence, next due by 16:00 UTC
  • Linked Tickets: 6 outage reports + 1 postmortem = 7 total

The incident is now under command control with clear roles, escalation routing, and communication cadence as required by the handbook. Platform-primary rotation (E-101 Dana Whitfield, E-102 Ravi Menon) will handle technical response once paged by the incident commander.
