#1549	Track and resolve recurring agentic workflow execution failures (non-rate-limit)	#1544, #1533, #1523, #1493, #1485, #1483, #1459, #1435	8 [aw] X failed / reported incomplete / produced no safe outputs issues sharing the same pattern of non-rate-limit execution failures. Rate-limit failures already have #1535; these needed a separate tracker.

Suggested (not linked — for maintainer review)

• [aw]: create-pull-request breaks on Azure DevOps' default shallow-fetch pipelines: prepare-pr-base bounded deepening can't reach the merge-base, and the emitted checkout: self has no fetchDepth #1541, Inject runtime parameter values into the agent prompt via ado-script (sanitization at runtime, not compile time) #432 around PR/prompt parameter injection at runtime — both touch the prepare-pr-base / runtime import / sanitization flow. Possible sub-issues of a future "Runtime prompt and parameter injection" epic if that scope grows.
• chore(workflows): recompile safe-output fixtures with ado-aw v0.38.0 #1156, chore(workflows): recompile safe-output fixtures with ado-aw v0.37.0 #1041, chore(workflows): recompile safe-output fixtures with ado-aw v0.36.0 #1027 (chore: recompile safe-output fixtures) — only 3, below the 5-issue threshold for a new parent, but a chore(fixtures) tracker could help if more accumulate.
• feat: align FrontMatter fields with gh-aw schema — run-name, labels, metadata, tracker-id, source, strict #451 (align FrontMatter with gh-aw schema) and feat: decouple prompt body from compiled pipeline output (runtime-import approach) #237 (decouple prompt body, runtime-import) — both relate to the gh-aw schema alignment effort; could form a parent if more issues emerge.
• [Parent] Safe-output executor E2E test coverage and tool correctness #1428 (safe-output E2E test coverage) — already a parent; consider linking fix(safe-outputs): add file staging to upload-workitem-attachment #381 (fix: add file staging to upload-workitem-attachment) and debug: upload-pipeline-artifact fails with ContainerWriteAccessDeniedException when uploading to other builds #471 (upload-pipeline-artifact ContainerWriteAccessDeniedException) as concrete test-gap sub-issues.

Observations

• The backlog has a healthy parent structure for the main pillars (MCPG, compiler internals, deps, rate limits). The largest gap was the missing tracker for non-rate-limit [aw] execution failures — now covered.
• 6 existing parents ([Parent] Track and resolve recurring AI-credits rate-limit failures in scheduled agentic workflows #1535, [Parent] MCPG infrastructure and safe-output tooling improvements #1321, [Parent] Compiler internals and pipeline generation improvements (IR types, YAML gen, prompt decoupling) #1286, [Parent] Track and act on upstream dependency release-note action items (awf, mcpg, copilot-cli) #1283, [Parent] Safe-output executor E2E test coverage and tool correctness #1428, [Parent] Issue Arborist - Issue Group #1284) cover most thematic clusters well.
• Several open issues (compile: directory argument silently no-ops instead of auto-discovering or erroring #867, debug: v0.31.1 compiler emits different YAML than committed *.lock.yml files from #861, breaking integrity check #866, feat: built-in PR context precomputation for PR-triggered agents #860, 🔴 Red Team Audit — High: Shell injection via runtimes.lean.toolchain #855) are standalone bugs/features with no obvious parent — appropriate given their individual scope.
