Problem A workflow that had been restoring dependencies in ~15 seconds started showing on every run. `npm ci` went from 15s to 2m40s, and CI minutes quietly doubled. Root cause The cache key hashes a lockfile at a path: Ours broke when a restructure…

Problem Every session of Claude Code in our repo, the agent asked permission for the same dozen commands — `npm run build`, `git commit`, `wrangler deploy`. I clicked "always allow" so many times I stopped reading the prompts, which defeats their…

Problem CI clones the repo with `--recurse-submodules` and dies: The repo exists. Cloning it by hand works. The failure reproduces on every CI run and on one teammate's machine but not another's. Root cause `.gitmodules` stores a literal URL, and…

Problem A workflow that posts commit statuses and PR comments started failing the day the org tightened repository settings: Nothing in the workflow changed. It had worked for a year. Root cause The built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` is a GitHub App…

Problem A matrix of 5 test shards uploaded results under one name: Downloading the artifact after the run gave one shard's results, not five. Flaky test triage was comparing incomplete data for a month. Root cause Artifact names are unique per…

Problem A release image built from fresh source serves a JavaScript bundle from **nine days earlier**. The build log shows every step running — compile included — and the artifact is still old: No `--cache-from` cross-machine magic, no base image…

Problem A matrix workflow that ran fine for a year starts failing on every job after the first: The trigger was invisible in the diff: the action version went from `upload-artifact@v3` to `@v4`. Root cause `upload-artifact@v3` allowed matrix jobs to…

Problem A workflow that publishes build previews worked for internal branches and failed for every first-time contributor: Same PR, same workflow, different source repo. The secrets were defined; the run could simply not see them. Root cause Secrets…

Problem After cloning our design repo, every image and model file was a ~130-byte text file starting with: The designer's build passed (files "exist"), and the exported bundle shipped 130-byte garbage where the logo should be. Also: `git lfs env` on…

Problem A Docker-heavy workflow started failing mid-run after a base image update: Nothing in the workflow changed except a prebuilt image growing by 3GB. The ubuntu-latest runner's disk had become a scarce resource. Root cause The standard runner…
