The patch prompt was written for one entry point and inherited whole by the other. Rendered for a quality sweep it opened with "Use $triage-titan-test-failures", called the findings "defects the build reported", and labelled the payload "Failing test evidence bundle" - three false statements in a row, on a green build, with an empty jenkins section sitting right below them. The instruction two lines later already said the build was not failing, so the prompt contradicted itself. Wrong in the first line the model reads is the expensive kind of wrong: it frames everything after it. The skill mention is the concrete cost - it sends Hermes to investigate a build that did not fail, spending a tool call to explain a failure that does not exist, when the finding and the file are already inlined below it. The framing now follows the bundle's origin. A bundle carrying both static analysis and build evidence is treated as build-driven, because a real failure is the more urgent framing of the two.

ariadne
Ariadne is the Atlas admin and account automation service.
It sits behind the portal and handles the jobs that are annoying or risky to do by hand: approving access, syncing account state, rotating service passwords, cleaning stale Kubernetes work, checking platform health, and keeping a few service integrations lined up.
How it works
Ariadne is a FastAPI service with a small scheduler. It talks to Keycloak, Vault, Mailu, Nextcloud, Wger, Firefly, Jenkins, Metis, Kubernetes, and a few Atlas-specific services through focused adapters under ariadne/services/.
The API is split between admin routes, account self-service routes, internal event hooks, and Prometheus metrics. Background jobs store run history in the Ariadne database so failures can be inspected later instead of vanishing into logs.
The following are notes for future Brad.
Bring-up dependencies
Ariadne needs:
- Kubernetes API, service DNS, and Ariadne's service account/RBAC
- the Ariadne database, plus the portal database if portal/account sync is enabled
- Vault or the Kubernetes secrets that Vault normally feeds it
- Keycloak/OIDC, because auth and profile sync assume it exists
- ingress/proxy plumbing if humans are going to use it through the portal
- the services for whatever jobs are enabled: Mailu, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Wger, Firefly, Jenkins, Metis, OpenSearch, and the comms/game-mode pieces
It can start before every integration is perfect, but the matching scheduled jobs will fail or no-op until their service is actually alive. In a total bring-up, wait for storage, Flux, Postgres, Vault, Keycloak, and ingress first. Afterwards Ariadne becomes useful glue.
Useful routes:

Development
python -m pytest
ruff check .
Most runtime behavior is configured through environment variables in ariadne/settings.py. Service-specific logic is in the small adapter modules; ariadne/app.py is focused on request flow and task orchestration.
