Detailed Status Handling & Fix Flows

Status Handling by Code

fix_auto_apply_skipped

The script returns autoApplySkipReason in its output.

1. Report the skip reason to the user (e.g., "Auto-apply was skipped because the previous CI pipeline execution was triggered by Nx Cloud")
2. Offer to apply the fix manually — spawn UPDATE_FIX subagent with APPLY if user agrees
3. Record last_cipe_url, enter wait mode

fix_apply_ready

• Spawn UPDATE_FIX subagent with APPLY
• Record last_cipe_url, enter wait mode

fix_needs_local_verify

The script returns verifiableTaskIds in its output.

1. Detect package manager: pnpm-lock.yaml → pnpm nx, yarn.lock → yarn nx, otherwise npx nx
2. Run verifiable tasks in parallel — spawn general subagents for each task
3. If all pass → spawn UPDATE_FIX subagent with APPLY, enter wait mode
4. If any fail → Apply Locally + Enhance Flow (see below)

fix_needs_review

Spawn FETCH_HEAVY subagent, then analyze fix content (suggestedFixDescription, suggestedFixSummary, taskFailureSummaries):

• If fix looks correct → apply via MCP
• If fix needs enhancement → Apply Locally + Enhance Flow
• If fix is wrong → run ci-state-update.mjs gate --gate-type local-fix. If not allowed, print message and exit. Otherwise → Reject + Fix From Scratch Flow

fix_failed / no_fix

Spawn FETCH_HEAVY subagent for taskFailureSummaries. Run ci-state-update.mjs gate --gate-type local-fix — if not allowed, print message and exit. Otherwise attempt local fix (counter already incremented by gate). If successful → commit, push, enter wait mode. If not → exit with failure.

environment_issue

1. Run ci-state-update.mjs gate --gate-type env-rerun. If not allowed, print message and exit.
2. Spawn UPDATE_FIX subagent with RERUN_ENVIRONMENT_STATE
3. Enter wait mode with last_cipe_url set

self_healing_throttled

Spawn FETCH_HEAVY subagent for selfHealingSkipMessage.

1. Parse throttle message for CI Attempt URLs (regex: /cipes/{id})
2. Reject previous fixes — for each URL: spawn FETCH_THROTTLE_INFO to get shortLink, then UPDATE_FIX with REJECT
3. Attempt local fix: Run ci-state-update.mjs gate --gate-type local-fix. If not allowed → skip to step 4. Otherwise use failedTaskIds and taskFailureSummaries for context.
4. Fallback if local fix not possible or budget exhausted: push empty commit (git commit --allow-empty -m "ci: rerun after rejecting throttled fixes"), enter wait mode

no_new_cipe

1. Report to user: no CI attempt found, suggest checking CI provider
2. If --auto-fix-workflow: detect package manager, run install, commit lockfile if changed, enter wait mode
3. Otherwise: exit with guidance

cipe_no_tasks

1. Report to user: CI failed with no tasks recorded
2. Retry: git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: retry ci [monitor-ci]" + push, enter wait mode
3. If retry also returns cipe_no_tasks: exit with failure

Fix Action Flows

Apply via MCP

Spawn UPDATE_FIX subagent with APPLY. New CI Attempt spawns automatically. No local git ops.

Apply Locally + Enhance Flow

1. nx-cloud apply-locally <shortLink> (sets state to APPLIED_LOCALLY)
2. Enhance code to fix failing tasks
3. Run failing tasks to verify
4. If still failing → run ci-state-update.mjs gate --gate-type local-fix. If not allowed, commit current state and push (let CI be final judge). Otherwise loop back to enhance.
5. If passing → commit and push, enter wait mode

Reject + Fix From Scratch Flow

1. Run ci-state-update.mjs gate --gate-type local-fix. If not allowed, print message and exit.
2. Spawn UPDATE_FIX subagent with REJECT
3. Fix from scratch locally
4. Commit and push, enter wait mode

Environment vs Code Failure Recognition

When any local fix path runs a task and it fails, assess whether the failure is a code issue or an environment/tooling issue before running the gate script.

Indicators of environment/tooling failures (non-exhaustive): command not found / binary missing, OOM / heap allocation failures, permission denied, network timeouts / DNS failures, missing system libraries, Docker/container issues, disk space exhaustion.

When detected → bail immediately without running gate (no budget consumed). Report that the failure is an environment/tooling issue, not a code bug.

Code failures (compilation errors, test assertion failures, lint violations, type errors) are genuine candidates for local fix attempts and proceed normally through the gate.

Git Safety

• Stage specific files by name — git add -A or git add . risks committing the user's unrelated work-in-progress or secrets

Commit Message Format

git commit -m "fix(<projects>): <brief description>

Failed tasks: <taskId1>, <taskId2>
Local verification: passed|enhanced|failed-pushing-to-ci"
