fix
Use this skill after the qa-test-runner subagent returns a failure report, or invoke the test-fixer subagent (.agents/agents/test-fixer/) to handle diagnosis, remediation, generation, and re-testing end-to-end.
Execution Options
Option A: End-to-End Test Fix Subagent (Automated)
- Use the
intake-test-failure skill (.agents/skills/utils/intake-test-failure/) to parse the raw failure input (GitHub issue URL, GCS log link, or direct text) into a Normalized Failure Payload.
- Pass the normalized payload to the
test-fixer subagent (.agents/agents/test-fixer/) to classify symptoms against .agents/skills/utils/test-failure-decision-tree/SKILL.md (all catalog scenarios), modify Magic Modules source files, generate downstream code, build, and re-run acceptance tests to verify pass.
Option B: Interactive Remediation Planning
- Analyze Failure: Read the report returned by
qa-test-runner. Classify symptoms against the decision tree catalog in .agents/skills/utils/test-failure-decision-tree/SKILL.md (all catalog scenarios) to identify the failure scenario and root cause category.
- Propose Strategy: Propose a specific remediation strategy from
.agents/skills/utils/test-failure-decision-tree/SKILL.md or user input.
- Handoff: Apply the change in Magic Modules, and transition to Step 3 (Generate) to compile and verify.
Remediation Scope Guardrails
- Strict Evidence-Based Scoping: When applying fixes in Magic Modules, modify ONLY the specific field(s), resource(s), or configuration(s) directly proven by the test failure logs, backtrace, or plan diff to be causing the failure.
- No Assumption-Based Expansion: Do NOT modify sibling, adjacent, or similarly-named fields on assumption without empirical evidence from the test output. Keep PR diffs strictly scoped to proven root causes.
- Breaking Change Compliance & User Notification: Consult all files in
docs/content/breaking-changes/ (breaking-changes.md and make-a-breaking-change.md) before making any schema or behavioral modifications. If a breaking change needs to be made, explicitly state it to the user and list out the reason why, referencing the applicable policy in docs/content/breaking-changes/.
- Unit Test Scope: Consult
