Research direction

Start with the failed run linked in the issue and its logs, looking for the engine driver exit code 1 and what preceded it. The workflow definition is .github/workflows/duplicate-code-detector.md. The issue does not say what code change is expected, so confirm the cause with a maintainer before editing anything. Done would mean the workflow completes or reports a clearly actionable failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

agentic-workflows
Workflow Failure

Workflow: Duplicate Code Detector
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/actions/runs/37995080580

[!WARNING]
Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.

Error details: 
engine_driver_failure
Agent finished without emitting a terminal safe output; task completion could not be confirmed.
Driver exit code: 1. The engine driver exited before a terminal safe output was recorded.
Failure classification: engine_outage
Last engine error type: unknown
Retry attempts observed: 0

This is a structured incompletion signal (report_incomplete), not a real task outcome. Any other safe outputs emitted alongside this signal (e.g., comments) describe the failure state, not a completed review or action.

Action Required

To stop a workflow from creating failure issues, set report-failure-as-issue: false in its frontmatter:

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