Description
The 2026-07-29 Safe Output Health Monitor (discussion #48770) confirmed that "PR Sous Chef" ran twice in the monitored window and succeeded both times, but only because each run happened to emit a single create_issue item rather than the mixed update_pull_request + add_comment payload that previously triggered a scheduled_target_resolution_hardfail (the dominant failure cluster on 2026-07-23/07-24). The underlying handler inconsistency — some safe-output types soft-skip when there is no triggering PR/issue context on a scheduled run, while others hard-fail — remains unfixed in code; it just was not exercised this window.
Expected Impact
Closes the actual root cause behind a recurring hard-failure cluster instead of relying on it not being exercised. Prevents the next PR Sous Chef run (or any other scheduled workflow emitting a mixed safe-output payload) from hard-failing again.
Suggested Agent
Safe-outputs framework maintainer / general coding agent with access to the safe-outputs handler dispatch code.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1-4 hours)
Data Source
DeepReport analysis 2026-07-29, based on discussion #48770 (Safe Output Health Monitor 2026-07-29), which explicitly flagged this as "not exercised, not confirmed fixed."
