Description
The Safe Output Health Monitor (discussion #55646, 2026-08-25) found 3 safe_outputs job "Process Safe Outputs" step failures out of 278 executions in a ~24h window (98.92% success). One is the 4th recurrence of a known PR Sous Chef batch-abort (tracked informally via repeated auto-filed [aw] Failed jobs: PR Sous Chef issues, trend flat_unresolved since 2026-08-22). The other two are new occurrences in different workflows with much simpler safe-output configs:
No safe-output type is common to all three, which weakens the previous "large/varied batch" hypothesis and raises a new one: a possible shared regression in process_safe_outputs.cjs (or its harness/wrapper) that isn't config-shape-dependent. Because each occurrence today gets auto-filed as an isolated per-run "Failed jobs" issue (closed independently), the cross-workflow correlation has never been investigated as one incident.
Data gap: no raw stderr/exception text is retrievable for any of the 3 failures via run_summary.json, agenticworkflows audit, or artifact download — there is no safe_outputs artifact set today. Fixing this observability gap (e.g., always upload process_safe_outputs.cjs stderr/exit-code as a small artifact even on the fast-path "Upload Safe Outputs Items" step that runs unconditionally) would let the next occurrence actually be root-caused instead of re-guessed.
Expected Impact
Either confirms/rules out a shared regression across PR Sous Chef, Designer Drift Audit, and Design Decision Gate's safe-outputs processing, or — at minimum — closes the observability gap so the next occurrence is diagnosable instead of another blind guess.
Suggested Agent
New investigation (manual or Claude/general-purpose agent) — needs access to process_safe_outputs.cjs git history and the three workflows' recent runs, not a scheduled reporting workflow.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1-4 hours) for the investigation; Quick (<1 hour) if scoped to just adding stderr capture to the safe_outputs job.

This is at least the 3rd time this exact job has failed for this workflow — prior occurrences are tracked as separate, disconnected auto-filed issues ([aw] Failed jobs: Designer Drift Audit #54424 from 2026-08-21, [aw] Failed jobs: Designer Drift Audit #53900 from 2026-08-19), each closed/expired without root-cause investigation.add_comment+push_to_pull_request_branch).No safe-output type is common to all three, which weakens the previous "large/varied batch" hypothesis and raises a new one: a possible shared regression in
