Eval canary regression: nightly golden eval failed

[github-actions]

Nightly eval canary failed on 2026-07-13T19:20:05.795Z.

Run: https://github.com/BigSimmo/Database/actions/runs/29277341469

Triage order (docs/observability-slos.md §3): rerun via workflow_dispatch,
check hybrid_rpc_errors and npm run check:indexing, then bisect code.
A failure can be corpus-state-dependent — confirm before reverting anything.

Dispatched eval canary failed on 2026-08-17T14:27:22.714Z.

Run: https://github.com/BigSimmo/Database/actions/runs/32038751592

Failure class: environment-or-timeout (medium)
Reason: Timeout or runtime process failure; inspect active processes and artifacts.
Step outcomes: {"checkout":"success","preflight":"success","setup_node":"success","install":"success","validate_override":"skipped","project_guard":"success","golden_retrieval":"success","answer_quality":"failure","answer_targeting":"skipped"}

Triage order (docs/observability-slos.md §3): inspect the failed step first.
Resolve provider quota/auth/config failures before rerunning; for completed evals,
check hybrid_rpc_errors and npm run check:indexing, then investigate corpus or code drift.
Do not bisect or revert code until provider health and the failure class are confirmed.
