Note to AI Agents: You MUST read the YAML frontmatter above first. Only read the rest of this file if the description matches your current roadblock or required task.

Prerequisites

• You must have a debug log file resulting from a failed run-acctests execution (e.g., test_output.log).

Execution Steps

1. Verification

Verify the log file exists.

Verify Log Exists

# Replace /path/to/test_output.log with the actual path
ls -lh /path/to/test_output.log

2. The Core Commands

Execute the tf_debug_parser.py script against the debug logs.

Parse Debug Logs

# Execute the parser to extract the outline
python3 <PATH_TO_MAGIC_MODULES>/.agents/scripts/tf_debug_parser.py /path/to/test_output.log --extract-dir <PATH_TO_MAGIC_MODULES>/debug_output

3. Verification & Handoff

• Use the view_file tool to read the generated outline.txt INSIDE the output directory (or its subdirectory if the script creates one). It contains a compressed timeline of API requests/responses and Terraform state transitions.
• If you find an API error (HTTP 4xx or 5xx) or an unexpected default field, use view_file on the specific JSON payload file referenced in outline.txt (e.g., 01_REQUEST_POST.json) found in that same directory.
• Pivot to the .agents/skills/operations/troubleshooting_reference.md document to map the failure to a known fix strategy before invoking the fix workflow.
