agent broke security questionnaire run error crashed mid workflow failure

TL;DR

Fix this in the agent workflow for security questionnaire by acting on the exact message first: checkpoint after each item, wrap each item in its own error handler, and quarantine the record the run crashed on so the rest complete and the bad record can be inspected alone. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in the agent workflow for security questionnaire fails with this exact message: agent broke security questionnaire run error crashed mid workflow.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A review, export or check is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the agent workflow for security questionnaire, and copy the full message plus the questionnaire, answer or evidence item involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: checkpoint after each item, wrap each item in its own error handler, and quarantine the record the run crashed on so the rest complete and the bad record can be inspected alone. Verify: the rerun completes all healthy items and names the quarantined record.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, template, feed or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, decisions or alerts against the source in the agent workflow for security questionnaire so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in the agent workflow for security questionnaire 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.
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 error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

one malformed record crashed the shared run, and with no checkpoints or isolation every item was lost with it.
