Report only states you read from the server: the agent claimed a ClearML task was completed while it was still queued, so fetch the task status at report time, quote the exact state, and never infer completion from elapsed time or from a submission success. Use when an agent workflow submitting ClearML tasks and repor…
Separate the fetch failure from the report failure: test the metrics API call the agent makes on its own, check the returned payload shape against what the report builder expects, and add a cached fallback of the last good metrics so one API outage does not kill the whole report. Use when an agent that cannot fetch Mo…

Fixes an agent that loops forever repeating the schedule the dashboard delivery 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 restore tests marked failed when an agent heartbeat to the orchestrator fails: separate liveness from test outcome, buffer results locally, and reconcile on reconnect. Use when heartbeat loss mislabels a healthy test. Not for worker crashes that stop the test itself.

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.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - the agent fixed the symptom in CI config but the test still fails on developers' machines - agent couldn't reproduce a failure because CI uses a different timezone and the test parsed a local date

Fixes unreproducible rendering bugs caused by browser version mismatch between the agent's sandbox and CI. Use when a visual or DOM test fails on CI but passes for the agent and browser versions differ. Covers matching the exact CI browser version, pinning browser versions in CI config, and treating version-specific r…
