## TL;DR
The file arrived; the agent's filename pattern did not recognise it, because the bank appended a holiday suffix to the usual name and an exact-match filter quietly passed it by. Recover the missed Sunday file from the SFTP directory - bank servers usually retain recent files - and import it, reconciling the seam days on either side. Then fix discovery properly: match files by account identifier and date components with a tolerant pattern rather than an exact name, list and log every file the server offers each run (accepted and rejected, with reasons), and alert when an expected delivery day yields no accepted file. The deeper rule: an agent waiting for files must treat absence as an event to report, never as a quiet day, because banks rename, delay and duplicate files for their own operational reasons all the time.

agent skipped the Sunday statement file because the bank renamed the SFTP file with a holiday suffix and the filename filter failed
```

## Use this when
- An agent's SFTP statement collection missed a file whose name deviates from the usual pattern, such as a holiday or weekend suffix.
- The import gap aligns with a specific date whose file exists on the server under a variant name.
- The job logs success on days when it collected nothing.

## Not for this skill when
- The bank confirms no statement was generated that day under its business calendar. Adjust the expected-days calendar instead of the pattern.
- The SFTP credentials or host changed and nothing connects. That is a connectivity incident, not a naming problem.

## Steps
1. List the bank SFTP directory for the affected window and identify the skipped file by its variant name, size and timestamp. Verify: the missed file is located on the server exactly as the bank left it
2. Download and import the file, then reconcile its days against the neighbouring statements to prove no overlap or gap remains. Verify: the Sunday transactions are in the ledger and the surrounding days tie
3. Rewrite the discovery rule: tolerant pattern on account and date elements, plus a run log listing every server file accepted or rejected with its reason. Verify: a variant-named test file is accepted and logged correctly
4. Add an expected-delivery calendar and a no-file alert that fires when an expected day produces no accepted file. Verify: a simulated missing day raises the alert in testing
5. Back-check the server's retained history for other variant-named files the old filter skipped, and clear the directory listing review into the runbook. Verify: the historical sweep finds no further gaps, or clears the ones it finds

## Variant phrasings
### agent skipped Sunday statement file bank renamed SFTP holiday suffix filter
The renamed-file skip symptom.
### SFTP file discovery pattern tolerant filename bank statement agent
The discovery-pattern phrasing.
### expected file missing alert SFTP collection no file delivered day fix
The absence-alert search.

Compatibility: Agent and scheduler SFTP collection jobs against bank servers, feeding statement import into ERP and reconciliation platforms.

## Why it happens
Filename contracts with banks are conventions, not APIs: operations teams at the bank append suffixes for holidays, reruns and late files without notifying downstream robots, because for a human glancing at a directory the file is obviously the Sunday statement. An exact-match filter encodes the assumption that the convention is a guarantee, and worse, the job's success logic counted a quiet collection as a good day. Robust collection treats the directory as untrusted input - enumerate, classify, explain rejections - and treats expected silence as a fault.

## Edge cases / pitfalls
- Holiday calendars differ by bank and country; maintain the expected-days calendar per account, and expect suffixes on the days around holidays, not just the day itself.
- A tolerant pattern can over-match test or duplicate files the bank leaves on the server; classify by content and date, and never import the same statement period twice.
- Server retention is short at some banks; the historical sweep should happen immediately, not at month-end.
