token expired mid-run agent failed to generate a community FAQ from solv

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in community FAQ generation agent by acting on the exact problem first: save each drafted FAQ section to disk as it is finished, keep the source thread list in the same file, re-authenticate between category sections, and assemble the FAQ from saved sections after any session restart. Do not rerun the whole job or queue unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one post, thread, report or batch first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Session expired mid-run while generating a community FAQ from solved threads

Use this when

• The operation in community FAQ generation agent fails with this exact message or symptom: Session expired mid-run while generating a community FAQ from solved threads.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Moderation, routing, auditing or a member facing community task is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with a moderation judgment or content quality. That is a policy review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in community FAQ generation agent, and copy the full message plus the post, thread, report or member involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: save each drafted FAQ section to disk as it is finished, keep the source thread list in the same file, re-authenticate between category sections, and assemble the FAQ from saved sections after any session restart. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named post, thread or report behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring posts, threads, reports or members that share the same setting, rule or workflow, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in community FAQ generation agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts or status against the source in community FAQ generation agent so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

FAQ generation is long and bursty, so a session expiring near assembly loses every drafted section that was never written outside the session.

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Edge cases

• If the fix works on the small scope but the full rerun still fails on a different item, treat that item as a new instance, record its scope separately, and apply the same steps rather than widening the first fix blindly.
• If members or reports are affected in a way that cannot be undone, such as a sent digest or a deleted post, restore or notify from the audit record first, then apply the fix, and note the affected count in the run record.
• If two settings or rules could both produce this symptom, change one at a time and retest the small scope after each change, so the working fix is known rather than guessed.

Compatibility: community FAQ generation agent at current versions, plus the admin console, moderation queue or API the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

TL;DR

Fix this in handbook answer agent by acting on the exact problem first: save each answered question to a run file as it finishes, refresh the sign in session between question groups, and on expiry sign in again and resume from the first question with no saved answer so no answered question is researched twice. Do not rerun the whole onboarding flow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one hire or one task first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

auth token expired mid-run agent failed to answer a new hire question from the handbook error session expired failure

Use this when

• The operation in handbook answer agent fails with this exact problem: auth token expired mid-run agent failed to answer a new hire question from the handbook error session expired failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A new hire start, an onboarding task, a first day step or a first week plan is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with an HR policy call such as eligibility or a start date decision. That is a people team decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named hire or task in handbook answer agent and record the full problem text plus the hire, task or start date involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: save each answered question to a run file as it finishes, refresh the sign in session between question groups, and on expiry sign in again and resume from the first question with no saved answer so no answered question is researched twice. Verify: the single failing hire or task now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring hires, tasks or start dates that share the same template, checklist or sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one hire. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in handbook answer agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the HRIS hire record, the signed offer or the current handbook page, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the onboarding log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

handbook answer agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

A run across many handbook questions outlives a short sign in session, and answers held only in session memory vanish on expiry, leaving the hire questions part answered with no record of which ones are done.

Edge cases

• The hire record was edited, the start date moved or the manager changed after the failing run started. Refresh the hire state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single hire proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other hires. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The HRIS hire record governs who the hire is and when they start, the signed offer governs terms, and the current handbook governs policy wording; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: handbook answer agent at current versions, plus the HRIS, handbook or onboarding tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in policy question answering agent by acting on the exact problem first: persist each drafted answer outside the session, refresh the sign in session between the handbook lookup and the answer post, and on expiry resume by posting the saved answer instead of researching the question again. Do not resend the same announcement or rerun the same rollout unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one employee group or policy page first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

auth token expired mid-run agent failed to answer an employee question on the new policy error session expired failure

Use this when

• The operation in policy question answering agent fails with this exact problem: auth token expired mid-run agent failed to answer an employee question on the new policy error session expired failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A policy rollout, handbook acknowledgment, announcement or employee question is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with a policy wording or eligibility judgement. That is a policy owner decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named employee group, policy page or announcement in policy question answering agent and record the full problem text plus the group, page or policy involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: persist each drafted answer outside the session, refresh the sign in session between the handbook lookup and the answer post, and on expiry resume by posting the saved answer instead of researching the question again.

5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the published policy text, the HR roster or the acknowledgment record, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the rollout log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

policy question answering agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

The lookup and the post happen in different systems with different session lengths, and an expiry between them discards a finished answer that then gets researched from scratch.

Edge cases

• The policy was republished, the audience changed or a group was renamed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single group proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other groups. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared audience, template or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The published policy text governs wording, the HR roster governs audience and employment status, and the acknowledgment record governs who signed; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: policy question answering agent at current versions, plus the HR system, handbook or messaging tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
