Run focus

Campaign run failed due to no scenario reports recovered

What this campaign tested: Intended to exercise 30 scenarios across transport protocols, framework integrations, and memory primitives in a 4-node DigitalOcean federation mesh, but no tests executed successfully.

What it demonstrated: The campaign infrastructure failed to produce any scenario results, demonstrating a breakdown in the testing harness rather than validating AI memory sharing capabilities.

Campaign run failed due to no scenario reports recovered

FAIL — no scenario reports recovered

For three audiences

Non-technical end users

This test run was supposed to check if AI agents can reliably share memories with each other, but it didn't work at all. No tests ran, so we couldn't see if the memory sharing holds up. It's like planning a big experiment but forgetting to turn on the equipment.

C-level decision makers

This run indicates a critical failure in the CI/CD pipeline, rendering the test results unusable and exposing risks in our automated validation process for production readiness. Customer-facing claims about reliable agent memory sharing cannot be substantiated from this artifact. Compared to prior runs, this represents a regression in harness reliability, not in the core ai-memory code.

Engineers & architects

The campaign requested 30 scenarios (S1, S1b, S2, S4-S6, S9-S18, S22-S25, S28-S42) covering transport (e.g., mTLS, WebSockets), framework (IronClaw federation), and primitives (memory sync, eviction), but the scenarios array is empty with reason 'no scenario reports recovered'. Probable root cause is a failure in the test harness (harness_sha 5b762cc14a53cbc4c6e5bd92f841335d3d5ece0a) or CI workflow (run 25225516100), possibly due to timing issues (empty started_at/ended_at) or infra provisioning errors in the 4-node DigitalOcean setup. No specific failure modes in primitives can be assessed without reports.

What changes going into the next campaign

Investigate and fix the test harness to ensure scenario reports are generated and recovered before re-running the campaign.
