Fixes flake scores that miss runner-correlated failures. Use when failures cluster on one shard, runner, or machine. Covers grouping failures by infrastructure dimension, draining the bad runner, and clearing the test's record. Not for failures spread across runners.
Fixes shard-unsafe tests that fail only under CI sharding. Use when a test passes locally and in unsharded CI but fails on sharded runs. Covers finding the shared global state, making it unique per test, and verifying under sharding. Not for failures that happen unsharded.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent didn't know CI sets CI=true - the app disables animations in CI and the test's timing assumptions broke - [playwright test kept timing out in CI but passed locally - the agent couldn't reproduc…

Fixes failed bisection when the agent uses a different random seed or ordering than CI. Use when an order-dependent failure never reproduces in the agent's bisection. Covers matching CI's seed and ordering exactly, capturing the seed from the failing run, and re-running the bisect under identical conditions. Not for s…
Diagnoses Go race-detector failures that appear in CI but not on a developer machine. Use when go test -race is green locally and red in CI on the same commit. Not for data races that reproduce locally or for non-race test failures.
Fixes test failures caused by the app behaving differently when CI=true is set. Use when a test passes locally but fails on CI and the app changes behavior under CI. Covers auditing CI-env-dependent code paths, making tests env-aware, and documenting the CI=true contract. Not for genuine timing flakes.

Reconciles an agent's test report against the CI dashboard by matching run ids and normalizing counting rules for retries, skips, and shards. Use when the two sides report different numbers for the same commit. Not for reports from different branches or commits, or dashboards still running.
