Research direction

Start with the failed Goal run and read debug.md, then consult .github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md for the workflow debugging process. Trace the provider authentication settings named in the 401 message, and confirm the workflow completes successfully on rerun without the engine authentication failure.
