Fixes a release workflow that fails when the Power BI REST API times out while the agent tries to generate the KPI chart, by making the workflow poll for completion and resume partial work. Use when the workflow reports a timeout error for a step that may have finished server side. Not for a workflow failing on invali…
Fixes an agent that loops forever repeating the pull Metabase query results step by adding progress detection, a step budget and a state check before each retry. Use when run logs show the same step and the same tool call repeating without progress. Not for a legitimate long build whose steps keep changing.
Fixes a dashboard building agent run that fails when the Power BI REST API times out during generate the KPI chart, by adding bounded retries, idempotent writes and step checkpoints. Use when the agent run dies on an API timeout mid build. Not for a human user seeing a timeout inside the Power BI interface itself.

Fixes an agent driven Airflow backfill that times out before creating runs, covering long DagBag parsing inside the CLI command, date range size, and using the API or a staged approach instead of one giant CLI call. Use when an automated backfill command dies early. Not for a backfill that creates runs and then fails …

Fixes an agent that dies polling bid status on rate limits by polling smarter. Use it when status checks fail partway. Not for status checks that return wrong data.
Fixes an agent that stalls waiting for a DocuSign webhook by polling envelope status instead. Use it when the webhook never arrives. Not for webhooks that arrive with wrong data.

Replaces a CI polling loop that never observes completion with webhooks or callbacks, plus a timeout and terminal-state handling for any polling that remains. Use when an agent's poll loop spins forever, misses the finished state, or times out the job. Not for CI systems with reliable synchronous APIs where a bounded …
