[aw] Dependabot / Release Trains reported incomplete result #10494
Description
Workflow Failure
Workflow: Dependabot / Release Trains
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/actions/runs/34725240532
Warning
Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
-
create_pull_request failed with recurring No changes to commit - no commits found tool defect (target_repo=github/gh-aw) despite verified-correct git state. Prepared validated minimal patch bump yaml 2.9.0->2.9.1 (docs/package.json + docs/package-lock.json) on branch dependabot-agent/yaml-2.9.1-patch-20260912233001 commit c3722de563. Verified via git diff origin/main..HEAD (2 files, 4 insertions/2 deletions), npm ci success (578 packages, yaml@2.9.1 resolved/deduped), and require(yaml) smoke test. Retried create_pull_request 3x (default, explicit base+repo, minimal payload) - identical failure each time, matching a long-standing intermittent defect documented across many prior scheduled runs for this worker/repo that has previously self-resolved. Not retrying further per policy.
Branch dependabot-agent/yaml-2.9.1-patch-20260912233001 (commit c3722de563c5ad2a6fb5dae2128e7ba229d3e2be) remains in the local workspace with the validated bump. Next scheduled run should recheck whether create_pull_request has recovered and land this commit or recreate the equivalent minimal bump.

Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
Prepared and validated a minimal, safe yaml 2.9.0 -> 2.9.1 patch bump for docs/package.json + docs/package-lock.json on fresh branch dependabot-agent/yaml-2.9.1-patch-20260913010929 (commit f0422e43ac, built on current origin/main HEAD 4cd32fe33c). Verified: direct source usage (parseActionsYaml.ts, parseWorkflow.ts) confirms reachability, npm ci installs cleanly, npm ls yaml shows 2.9.1 deduped everywhere, and a require('yaml') parse smoke test passed. git state verified correct before each PR attempt (git log/diff/rev-parse all consistent). create_pull_request failed twice with the same error 'No changes to commit - no commits found' despite a clean, committed, non-empty diff vs origin/main -- this is the same long-standing intermittent safe-output tool defect documented across many prior cache-memory entries for this worker/repo (e.g. 2026-09-08 and 2026-09-12 runs), which has self-resolved in some past runs but recurred here. Not retrying a 3rd time per policy. Branch/commit is ready to land as-is once th

Also noted: the previously cached 'ready' branch dependabot-agent/yaml-2.9.1-patch-20260912203536 has diverged/disjoint git history from current origin/main (different root commit, unrelated histories) and is stale/unusable -- superseded by the new branch created this run.

Warning
Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
create_pull_request tool failed twice with a false-negative commit-detection error
Prepared and validated a patch-level npm dependency bump (eslint 9.34.0->9.39.5,
@eslint/js9.34.0->9.39.5, globals 16.3.0->16.5.0) in dashboard/site/package.json + package-lock.json on branch dependabot-agent/dashboard-eslint-family-20260913043722 (commit aedb5eae on top of main@caf490ff). Lint, typecheck, and unit tests (911/911) all pass; the 1 failing suite under full npm test is a pre-existing node:sqlite/Vite bundling artifact reproduced identically on unmodified main, unrelated to this change. Two materially different create_pull_request attempts (with and without explicit base=main) both failed with the same tool-side error "No changes to commit - no commits found", despite git log/git diff confirming the commit and 2-file diff exist locally. Per the tool retry limit, stopping after 2 attempts. The validated branch/commit is preserved locally for recovery; a subsequent run or maintainer should verify whether branch dependabot-agent/dashboard-eslint-family-20260913043722 exists remotely before re-attempting, to avoid duplicating this work.This is a structured incompletion signal (

Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
create_pull_request failed twice with a systemic tool-side error despite a fully validated, committed dependency bump.
Work done: bumped
@types/nodefrom 24.3.0 to 24.13.4 (patch) in dashboard/site/package.json and package-lock.json (dev-only devDependency, no source/runtime impact). Validated with npm install --package-lock-only, npm run typecheck, npm run lint, and npm test (911/912 tests pass; the 1 failing test file fails identically on unmodified main due to an unrelated pre-existing node:sqlite bundling limitation). Committed to local branch dependabot-agent/types-node-24.13.4-20260913052652 (commit dd7b13fc on top of main@af47fc7f).Blocker: create_pull_request failed twice with "No changes to commit - no commits found", despite git log/git diff main --stat/git status all confirming the commit exists locally with exactly the intended 2-file diff. Attempt 1 used the default base; attempt 2 added an explicit base: main -- both failed identically. This matches a recurring systemic pattern noted in cache-memory across multiple prior runs in this repo and in githubnext/gh-aw-cao (formerly gh-aw-mcpg), suggesting an environment/session-level defect in the create_pull_request bridge rather than an issue with this change.
No GitHub write was possible this run. The validated branch and commit are preserved locally (not pushed) for recovery in a future run once the tool issue is resolved. Also reconfirmed: 0 open Dependabot security alerts; existing open PRs #10419/#10228/#10189 (yaml duplicates) and #10410 (
@actions/githubsecurity, major) are unrelated and were left untouched.This is a structured incompletion signal (

Warning
Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
create_pull_request safe output failed twice with 'No changes to commit - no commits found' despite a verified local commit; validated eslint/globals patch bump preserved on local branch but not published
Validated and committed a safe, low-risk patch bundle in dashboard/site
(eslint 9.34.0->9.39.5,
@eslint/js9.34.0->9.39.5, globals 16.3.0->16.5.0)on branch dependabot-agent/dashboard-eslint-family-20260913064500 (commit 5f0635f0,
1 commit on top of main@af47fc7f, exactly 2 files changed:
dashboard/site/package.json, dashboard/site/package-lock.json, 6 insertions/6 deletions).
Validation: npm run lint clean, npm run typecheck clean, npm test 911/911 tests
passed (86/87 suites); the 1 apparently-failed suite
(test/unit/data-sqlite-indexeddb.test.js) only fails under the full parallel
vitest run due to a pre-existing Vite/node:sqlite builtin-bundling limitation
in that worker pool -- confirmed unrelated to this bump (passes 10/10 standalone
via
npx vitest run test/unit/data-sqlite-indexeddb.test.js).create_pull_request FAILED on both attempts with identical error:
{"result":"error","error":"No changes to commit - no commits found",
"details":"No commits were found to create a pull request. Make sure you
have committed your changes using git add and git commit before calling
create_pull_request."}
Attempt 1: {title, branch, body}. Attempt 2: same payload + explicit base:"main".
Both failed identically despite
git log,git diff origin/main --stat, andgit rev-parse HEADall confirming the commit exists locally with the expected2-file diff.
This reproduces the identical failure mode from a prior run for this same repo
(cache entry dependabot-release-train-2026-09-13-04-42-00.md, correlation_id
34737836646-247), which attempted the same eslint/globals bundle on a
differently-named branch (dashboard-eslint-family-20260913043722) and hit the
exact same tool-side error. That branch never appeared on the remote either
(confirmed via git ls-remote --heads origin). Searched extensively for an
existing open escalation issue about this create_pull_request failure mode
(multiple search_issues queries: "create_pull_request", "no commits found",
"pull request landing", "branch not landing", "safe output", "dependabot-agent",
"dependabot-release-train-updater") -- none found open in
githubnext/gh-aw-cao, so this is being reported fresh rather than duplicated.
Per the 2-attempt retry limit, stopping here rather than retrying further.
Branch dependabot-agent/dashboard-eslint-family-20260913064500 is preserved
locally with the validated commit in case a later run or a human can recover
and resubmit it. No PR or issue was created for the actual dependency bump
this run because the create_pull_request safe-output primitive itself is
failing, and creating a duplicate/near-duplicate issue about the same
recurring tool failure documented in the 2026-09-12-20-39-18 cache entry
(which already led to an issue being filed previously, per that entry) risks
being a duplicate escalation; a maintainer should investigate why
create_pull_request repeatedly reports "no commits found" despite a verified
local commit with the correct diff.
