Research direction

Start with the linked workflow source, .github/workflows/duplicate-code-detector.md, and inspect run #40773547138, especially the failing Execute GitHub Copilot CLI step and its HTTP 400 response. The report gives no classified stderr diagnostic or specific rejected request, so first determine what request was rejected and whether the workflow or engine driver owns it. Done means the failure has a reproducible cause and a targeted fix confirmed by a successful run.

Review the failure details below for a targeted fix, or assign this issue to a coding agent to investigate.

Failure details
Runtime evidence

[!WARNING]
Task Could Not Be Completed: The workflow recorded a report_incomplete signal: the task was not completed or completion could not be confirmed.

Error details:
Failure classification: request_rejection
Driver exit code: 1. The engine driver exited before a terminal safe output was recorded.
Driver exit meaning: General failure
Last driver stderr summary: not recorded (no classified stderr diagnostic)
Last tool call status: not recorded
Failed tool calls observed: 0
Token budget state: unknown (no exhaustion signal recorded)
Step budget state (LLM invocations): unknown (no exhaustion signal recorded)
Safe-output tools: available at gateway snapshot (registered 5 tools)
Safe-output CLI calls observed: unknown (not recorded)
Safe-output MCP calls observed: 0
Safe-output persistence: not recorded
Agent finished without emitting a terminal safe output; task completion could not be confirmed.
Engine HTTP error codes: 400
Last engine error type: unknown
Retry attempts observed: 0

A comment or other safe output does not confirm that the requested task was completed. Only inferred runtime status and error codes are reported; agent text is excluded.

Failure Diagnostics

Agent job: agent
Agent job conclusion: failure
Failing step: Execute GitHub Copilot CLI

No additional engine error was captured. Check the reported failure signals and linked run for details.

Only runtime metadata is shown; agent-generated text is excluded.

Copy a debugging prompt

Paste this into your coding agent:

Debug the agentic workflow "duplicate-code-detector" failure.
Follow https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md
Failed run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/actions/runs/40773547138

If the repository includes the agentic-workflows skill, load it before investigating.

Manage failure notifications

To stop creating failure issues for this workflow, set this in its frontmatter and recompile:

safe-outputs:
  report-failure-as-issue: false

This only disables issue reporting; it does not fix the failure.
