F3 — peer A2A via shared memory F3 FAIL

Workflow-level probe answering "can agents communicate through ai-memory?". Writer ai:alice posted canary UUID 310721a6-c0a1-43ae-9f90-061bceb90f22 to namespace _baseline_peer_canary via node-1's local ai-memory serve HTTP. After W=2 fanout settle, probe confirmed the canary on each of the 3 peer nodes via their local GET /api/v1/memories.

Run focus

Campaign failed: no scenario reports recovered.

What this campaign tested: No scenarios were exercised, despite requesting 35 covering various transport, framework, and primitive axes, due to missing reports.

What it demonstrated: The results demonstrated a critical failure in the testing harness or infrastructure, preventing any data collection or validation.

AI NHI analysis · Claude Opus 4.7

Campaign failed: no scenario reports recovered.

FAIL — no scenarios executed or reported.

For three audiences

Non-technical end users

This test run didn't work at all because no results were collected from the planned scenarios. We can't tell if AI agents can reliably share memories with each other. It looks like there was a problem in setting up or running the tests.

C-level decision makers

High risk posture from complete campaign failure, indicating unresolved issues in the testing pipeline; production readiness remains unassessed. Customer-facing claims on agent memory sharing are unsupported by this run. No changes detected vs. prior runs as nothing was tested.

Engineers & architects

No per-scenario results available, with overall failure due to 'no scenario reports recovered'; all 35 requested scenarios (S1, S1b, S2, etc.) effectively skipped. Probable root cause in harness report aggregation or CI workflow (harness_sha: 9d280e8e7ad5debcdfa38e38b86fdf12be9f99fe). Impacts all primitives and frameworks under test.

What changes going into the next campaign

Debug and resolve report recovery failures in the harness before retrying.
