Root-cause PR Sous Chef's chronic safe_outputs job failures — 16 open near-duplicate auto-filed issues, no consolidation or fix
Description: There are currently 16 open [aw] Failed jobs: PR Sous Chef issues (auto-filed by the failed-jobs watcher, spanning #53245 through #53446, roughly 2026-08-13 through 2026-08-17), the large majority naming the safe_outputs job as the failing step (one names detection instead). None have been consolidated or root-caused — today's Issue Arborist report independently flagged "repeated PR Sous Chef failure issues form a visible cluster, but the available excerpts do not establish one authoritative parent issue or one shared root cause" and declined to auto-link them. A related, separate issue (#52502) previously investigated a different PR Sous Chef failure mode (Start DIFC Proxy step) but that is not the same job as the current recurring safe_outputs failures. Notably, live workflow-log spot-checks this cycle show PR Sous Chef's main job completing successfully — the failures are isolated to the post-run safe_outputs step, recurring often enough to generate over a dozen un-deduplicated tracking issues.
Expected Impact: Fixing (or at least root-causing) the chronic safe_outputs failure removes noise from the issue tracker (16 duplicate issues) and restores confidence that PR Sous Chef's safe-output writes (comments/labels/etc.) are actually landing when the main agent run succeeds.
Suggested Agent: General-purpose agent with access to .github/workflows/pr-sous-chef.md / .lock.yml and recent failed run logs for the safe_outputs job.
Estimated Effort: Medium (1-4 hours) — requires pulling actual failed-job logs to find the real error, then either fixing it or filing one canonical tracking issue and closing the 16 duplicates as closed-as-duplicate against it.
