[aw-failures] [aw-fix] P1: Test Quality Sentinel — create_report_incomplete_issue rejected: missing incomplete_signals array

[github-actions]

Make create_report_incomplete_issue (report_incomplete) either always carry a populated incomplete_signals array or accept an empty one — right now a single malformed message fails the whole safe_outputs job after a successful agent run.

Problem

Agent job succeeds; safe_outputs job fails at Process Safe Outputs. The create_report_incomplete_issue message is rejected for a missing required incomplete_signals array.

Affected workflows / runs

Workflow	Run	Agent job	safe_outputs job
Test Quality Sentinel	§29981402712	success	failure

Evidence (from audit)

✗ Message 5 (create_report_incomplete_issue) failed: Missing or empty incomplete_signals array
1 safe output(s) failed:

Probable root cause

Schema/prompt mismatch on the report_incomplete safe-output. The agent emitted a create_report_incomplete_issue message without the required non-empty incomplete_signals array, and validation hard-fails the batch. This is the same safe-output family as the previously-fixed #46376 (report_incomplete rejected for missing workflow_name) — a new required field surfacing the same class of failure, so the earlier fix did not cover incomplete_signals.

Proposed remediation

1. Update the workflow prompt/guidance so any report_incomplete emission always includes a populated incomplete_signals array.
2. Relax validation to accept an empty/absent incomplete_signals (default to a single generic signal) instead of failing the entire safe-outputs batch — mirroring the [aw-failures] [aw-fix] P1: report_incomplete safe output rejected — "Missing required field: workflow_name" #46376 fix.
3. Regression test: emit a report_incomplete with no signals and assert graceful handling.

Success criteria

• Test Quality Sentinel safe_outputs job completes green.
• report_incomplete with missing/empty incomplete_signals no longer hard-fails Process Safe Outputs.
