CI Failure Investigation - Run #37498

Summary

The test failure job for run 37498 (head sha ef2fa31d80b793b624a645f83aff2ebc7bf7cca6) failed because the permission validation tests were still looking for the old lowercase message even though the validator now prints Missing required permissions for GitHub toolsets:.

Failure Details

• Run: 22305778290
• Commit: ef2fa31
• Trigger: push

Root Cause Analysis

After the recent fix to capitalize GitHub inside permissions_validation.go, the human-facing text changed but the validator/warning tests continue to assert a lowercase github toolsets string. Each strings.Contains call now returns false, the assertions panic, and TestFormatValidationMessage / TestValidatePermissions_ComplexScenarios abort before reporting a named failure.

Failed Jobs and Errors

• test failure: the Go test runner reported ❌ FAILURES FOUND in: test-result-unit.json followed by TestFormatValidationMessage/Missing_permissions_message and the related TestValidatePermissions_ComplexScenarios subtests, plus the warning that "No individual test marked as failed" because the assertions panic during initialization.

Investigation Findings

• permissions_validation.go now builds lines starting with "Missing required permissions for GitHub toolsets:" and writes the full suggestion text for Options 1 and 2.
• The validator, warning, and "no github tool" tests still hard-code the lowercase text, so their strings.Contains checks fail and the tests assert before a failure record can be emitted, killing the job early.
• Running go test ./pkg/workflow locally in this environment tries to download Go 1.25 and fails with golang.org/toolchain@v0.0.1-go1.25.0...: Forbidden, so we could not re-run the suite here.

Recommended Actions

• Keep the tests locked to the literal message in sync with the production helper (e.g. share a constant or compare case-insensitively) so future user-message tweaks do not break string assertions.
• Re-run go test ./pkg/workflow (or the full make agent-finish) once the Go 1.25 toolchain is available to verify that these fixes cover the entire suite.

Prevention Strategies

Avoid hard-coding case-sensitive user-facing strings in tests; either reference the message via a shared exported helper or assert with strings.Contains(strings.ToLower(...), strings.ToLower(expected)) so cosmetic text tweaks do not cause regressions.

AI Team Self-Improvement

When writing validation tests for CLI output, either derive the expected message from the same helper that produces it or use case-insensitive comparisons so capitalization-only fixes stay safe.

Additional occurrence (Run 22312390925)

• test failure (job 64547773222) still aborts because FormatValidationMessage continues to emit the sentence Missing required permissions for GitHub toolsets: while the tests in permissions_validator_test.go and the related warning tests keep asserting against the lowercase phrase, so TestFormatValidationMessage/Missing_permissions_message plus TestValidatePermissions_ComplexScenarios/Shorthand_read-all_with_default_toolsets fail before they can emit their expected output.
• The job log for run 22312390925 shows the same failure signature, so the regression hasn't been fixed yet.
• Running GOTOOLCHAIN=local go test ./pkg/workflow -run TestFormatValidationMessage here still fails because go.mod requires Go ≥ 1.25 and the sandbox cannot download that toolchain, so we can’t rerun the suite locally.
