Task: Say the run failed in one sentence
Table of Contents
This page documents a task in the Prove the report grid run end to end — the remaining work story. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance, and any notes or results.
1. Goal
(Describe what user-visible-or-internal change this task produces.)
2. Status
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| State | DONE |
| Parent story | Prove the report grid run end to end — the remaining work |
| Now | Nothing. |
| Waiting on | Nothing. |
| Next | Nothing. |
| Last touched | 2026-10-25 |
3. Acceptance
4. Plan
(Implementation strategy. Written when work starts; key decisions
are distilled into the parent story's * Decisions at close, but the
plan itself stays — it is the historical record of what we did.)
5. Measurements
Every number this task claims about a tree, with the command that produced it
and the commit it was measured at. A number without both is not a measurement,
because a clean-up record describes a tree and trunk moves under a branch: a
consumer count, a gate's component count and a suite's size all change with no
code changing, and the reader of a bare number cannot tell which tree it came
from. Where the raw output matters, put it in an evidence/ file beside the
task and name that file in the Command column.
| What | Value | Command | Commit |

7. Test Scenarios
Manual QA scenarios (scaffolded via compass add test_scenario)
that verify this task. Link
new ones here as they're created; the scenario doc itself links back
via its "Verifies task" field.

10. Result
The row that says a run failed says it in one sentence. The engine's long account, with the reasons it repeats, stays on the instance as the run's output message, and the reasons are the rows beside it.
A reason that runs past two hundred characters is cut there, so the row stays a sentence rather than a paragraph.
Proven by the reporting suites: a failure carrying the engine's five-line account stores "The run's compute job failed with outcome 3: The engine's analytic failed." and nothing of the lines that follow.
