Debugging Executions

Use this skill when debugging workflow execution failures or successful runs with wrong or empty values.

When the user reports it still fails

Re-run the failing path with executions(action="run") (or verify-built-workflow) and inspect the real result before responding. Do not restate that the workflow is "fixed", "verified", or "working", and do not attribute the reported failure to a test-harness artifact, stale state, or "it works in production" without a re-run against the failing path. Treat live signals as real: an execution error, partial coverage (nodesNotReached), an empty node, or a missing node is a real defect to investigate, not something to explain away. If you genuinely cannot re-run the failing path, say so plainly and name what is unconfirmed instead of repeating a success claim.
