Hermes auto-triage classified incident ananke/250 as quality_gate_enforcement_failure (confidence 0.78); first failed gate: gate_glue.

Why a human is needed

Build 250 completed its tests without publishing any structured test failure, then failed in the "Enforce quality gate" stage. The final enforcement output says both Sonar and supply-chain status were OK, but the script still returned exit code 1. Earlier Sonar analysis logged Go parser failures in several source files; however, the visible enforcement status marks Sonar as OK, so those parser messages are not sufficient proof that they caused the build to fail. The maintainer needs to inspect the omitted quality-gate evaluation output or the pipeline enforcement script to identify the specific false condition, then fix that underlying check or correct the gate-status propagation. The quality-gate step should also report the failing condition explicitly so future builds do not reduce the diagnosis to an unexplained exit code.

Ariadne did not authorize automated remediation: human_required.

Facts

jenkins — Jenkins build ananke #250 failed after running from 2026-08-07T17:57:00.630000+00:00 until 2026-08-07T18:33:53.373000+00:00. (https://ci.bstein.dev/job/ananke/250/)
jenkins — Jenkins reports the first failed pipeline stage as "Enforce quality gate". (jenkins.first_failed_stage)
jenkins — The structured failed-test result list is empty, so the build did not publish a named failing test, test class, or assertion. (jenkins.failed_tests=[])
jenkins — The quality-gate shell sequence recorded sonar_status=ok and supply_status=ok, then exited with status 1. (jenkins.console_tail: sonar_status=ok; supply_status=ok; exit 1)
jenkins — The console contains Sonar Go-parser errors for seven repository files, including internal/config/validate.go and several internal/cluster orchestration files. (jenkins.console_failures marker=non-zero exit, lines 280 onward)
opensearch — The Jenkins agent pod was provisioned successfully, reached Running, and was terminated only after the build ended. (kube-2026.08.07 records 2026-08-07T17:57:05.066Z through 2026-08-07T18:33:53.320Z)

Evidence

The earliest failure region of the build console:

tty: true
    volumeMounts:
    - mountPath: "/home/jenkins/agent"
      name: "workspace-volume"
  - command:
    - "cat"
    image: "registry.bstein.dev/bstein/quality-tools:sonar8.0.1-trivy0.70.0-db20260422-arm64"
    name: "quality-tools"
    tty: true
    volumeMounts:
    - mountPath: "/home/jenkins/agent"
      name: "workspace-volume"
  - env:
    - name: "JENKINS_SECRET"
      value: "********"
    - name: "JENKINS_TUNNEL"
      value: "jenkins.jenkins.svc.cluster.local:50000"
    - name: "JENKINS_AGENT_NAME"
      value: "ananke-250-lm914-rgtp6-7p7td"

Inferences

The immediate enforced failure was the quality-gate enforcement script, not a Go test failure: no structured failed tests were published and Jenkins identifies "Enforce quality gate" as the first failed stage.
The Sonar Go-parser errors are likely relevant diagnostic evidence, but they cannot by themselves explain the enforced exit because the later enforcement output explicitly records sonar_status=ok. The unavailable portion of the quality-gate output must contain the condition that evaluated false o...
The successful agent lifecycle makes an agent-provisioning failure unlikely. There is also no evidence of workspace exhaustion or a connectivity, registry, or image-pull failure.

Suggested remediation (not available)

No automated remediation exists for this failure. Hermes proposes one; it was not performed, and Ariadne cannot perform it until a person builds and deploys it.

Proposed action: expose_quality_gate_failure_reason
What it would do: Make the quality-gate enforcement step emit the evaluated result of every enforced condition and the exact condition that causes a nonzero exit. Preserve the underlying Sonar, coverage, style, LOC, test, and supply-chain result alongside the final decision.
Evidence that should be required first: A build must show that the enforcement script exits nonzero while its retained status output does not name the failing condition, as in this incident.
