Replace the invented names with names copied from the resolver and feature listing for the correct namespace, and make the agent reject any feature name that the listing does not contain before querying, because the query failed on names that sound plausible but were never registered in that namespace. Use when you se…
Fixes this failure: make the agent post to the private timeline by default and require an explicit public flag for any external update. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.
Fixes an agent that fetched the wrong dbt Cloud run because a job or run id was off by one digit, leading it to diagnose stale artifacts. Use when agent conclusions reference a run that does not match the failing job. Not for local runs with no Cloud ids involved.

Fixes agent test selectors that match too broadly for analytics engineers supervising repair agents. Use when an agent's --select ran the whole suite instead of one test. Not for selectors that match nothing.
Repairs agent --upgrade runs that broke pinned dbt packages for analytics engineers supervising repair agents. Use when dbt deps --upgrade moved packages off their pins. Not for registry outages or git auth issues.
Fixes agent repairs applied to the wrong target for analytics engineers supervising repair agents. Use when an agent fixed staging but production still fails. Not for genuine environment differences in the fix itself.
Fixes: agent remediation conflicted with a teammate concurrent edits Applies when your scan flags this exact rule. Not for manual-only issues the rule does not report.

How to recover when an agent's regex codemod matched inside string literals and corrupted user-facing copy: reverting, rewriting the transform on an AST, and testing the new version. Use when a regex rewrite damaged text it should not have touched. Not for regex rewrites that were correct but incomplete.
Fixes yarn's not a valid SemVer range error by correcting the malformed range string. Use it when a version-bump edit leaves an unparseable range in package.json. Key trigger: yarn names the exact range it rejected. Not for ranges that parse but resolve to nothing.

Stops an agent from burning the GitHub API quota polling registry metadata. Use it when the changelog step dies partway with rate-limit errors. Key trigger: the logs show rate-limit responses and the agent made one API call per package. Not for: quota burned by CI or other tools, which needs org-level quota management.

Stops an agent from treating a release candidate as newer than the stable release. Use it when 2.0.0-rc.1 was auto-merged to production ahead of 2.0.0. Key trigger: the merged version contains a prerelease tag while a stable release exists. Not for: deliberately testing a release candidate, which should happen on a no…
