Absolute Deflake
Find tests that pass and fail nondeterministically, diagnose the root cause of each, and fix it — not by retrying or skipping, but by removing the source of nondeterminism. Output is evidence (failure rate per test) → cause → fix, verified by repeated runs.
Runs the shared engine in references/health-engine.md — read it for the
DETECT → SCAN → TRIAGE → FIX → VERIFY → REPORT loop and the safety contract. This file
covers only what's specific to flaky tests.
When to use
- "Our CI is flaky", "this test fails randomly", "fix the intermittent failures".
- A test passes locally but fails in CI (or vice versa), or fails ~1 in N runs.
- Burning down a backlog of
retry/skip-marked tests that mask real flakiness.
