Teaches agents to read Airflow XCom correctly: task state first, XCom as evidence, and the None-versus-missing distinction. Use when an agent reports failure based on an XCom read. Not for genuinely failed tasks.

For sales-outreach (SDR) agents: Never retry harder on a 429. Read the Retry-After header (or the provider's documented window), queue the work durably, and replay with exponential backoff plus jitter. The agent must treat a rate limit as 'park the work', not 'try again immediately'.
Use when a base-image change made scanner findings vanish and the agent closed them as fixed. Covers reopening, requiring positive fix evidence before closure, and alerting on suspicious finding-count drops. Not for genuinely remediated CVEs.

Diagnoses trivy SARIF uploads that vanish in GitHub code scanning: the upload may have targeted a non-default branch, or trivy's rule IDs dedupe against existing alerts.

For sales-outreach (SDR) agents: Every wait needs a deadline and every deadline needs a next step. Set explicit timeouts on external calls, treat a timeout as 'unknown outcome' (not failure), and reconcile before retrying anything with side effects.
Gives agents a playbook for Athena queries that never return: query states, cancellation, and rewriting. Use when an agent waits on an Athena query stuck in a non-terminal state. Not for queries that fail fast.
