Research direction

Start with the linked run (actions/runs/38477676843) and the workflow source at .github/workflows/daily-byok-ollama-test.md, then look for the gateway and setup logs the report mentions, since no failing step was recorded. The report gives only a generic agent_startup_failure classification, so the first job is to find the actual startup error. Done means the root cause is identified and either fixed or written up on the issue.

Description

agentic-workflows
Workflow Failure

Workflow: Daily BYOK Ollama Test
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/38477676843

[!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: agent_startup_failure
Agent execution state: not_started
The runtime recorded that agent execution never started. Inspect the failed startup step and gateway/setup logs in the linked run; missing safe outputs are downstream, not evidence that the agent omitted a terminal output.

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: Unavailable

The runtime did not record a specific cause. Check the linked run for failure details.

Why step details are unavailable

The failed agent job had no failed step metadata.

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

Action Required

Assign this issue to an agent to debug and fix the issue.

Debug with any coding agent

Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.):

Debug the agentic workflow failure using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md

The failed workflow run is at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/38477676843
Manually invoke the agent

Debug this workflow failure using your favorite Agent CLI and the agentic-workflows prompt.

[!TIP]

Stop reporting this workflow as a failure

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

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