[aw] Prompt Optimization reported incomplete result #309
Description
Workflow Failure
Workflow: Prompt Optimization
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-wizard/actions/runs/37157539293
Warning
Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
-
Ollama eval server at (127.0.0.1/redacted) (host-reflected via --enable-host-access --allow-host-ports 11434) is unreachable from the agent sandbox, so no scenario-prompt evaluation or hill-climbing could be run.
No open PR titled "Prompt optimization:" exists (guard check via
gh pr listconfirmed only Pattern miner: Mine upstream patterns: chart digests, agent-delegation, and PR throttling tips #304, unrelated), so the task proceeded to the hill-climbing loop.
Connectivity diagnosis:
curl (127.0.0.1/redacted) and/v1/models`: connection refused.- No
ollamaprocess, no~/.ollamacache directory, and no.ollama/GGUF blob files found anywhere on the filesystem searchable from this sandbox — the model-restore/serve steps appear to have run in the GitHub Actions host context, not inside this agent container. - Tried all plausible host-access paths:
host.docker.internal(DNS SERVFAIL via the container's embedded resolver 127.0.0.11), Docker bridge gateway candidates172.30.0.1and172.17.0.1(connection refused/timeout), direct squid-proxy CONNECT tunnel to172.17.0.1:11434(squid reported "Connection to 172.17.0.1 failed... Connection refused"), squid HTTP-proxy to172.17.0.1:11434(403 Access Denied — not in squid's allowlist), and the api-proxy container IP on ports 3128/8080/8000 (connection refused). /etc/hostsinside the agent container only lists the firewall sidecar containers (squid-proxy, api-proxy, cli-proxy, awmg-mcpg/cli-proxy) — no host-gateway entry is present despite the docker-compose audit file showingextra_hosts: host.docker.internal: host-gatewayon the squid-proxy and cli-proxy services (not on the agent service itself).- No sudo/root capability available to inspect iptables NAT rules or network namespaces further (blocked by no-new-privileges, and inspecting such internals is disallowed by policy regardless).
Net effect: scripts/prompt-optimizer.mjs --evaluate --all-models --eval-url (127.0.0.1/redacted) ... cannot reach either the Qwen2.5-1.5B or SmolLM2-360M proxy model, so no incumbent score, candidate, or hill-climbing step could be measured. No repository files were changed (a pre-existing unrelated modification to .github/skills/optimize-scenario-prompt/SKILL.md was reverted). No PR, review comment, or review was created.

Warning
Task Could Not Be Completed: The agent reported that the task could not be performed due to an infrastructure or tool failure.
Reasons:
Required Ollama eval models unavailable: no open "Prompt optimization:" PR existed, but the GGUF proxies (hf.co/bartowski/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M and hf.co/unsloth/SmolLM2-360M-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M) were not present in the restored ~/.ollama cache, and
ollama pullfailed with "403 Forbidden" because the sandbox firewall only allows a fixed domain list that excludes hf.co/huggingface.co/ollama.com.Steps taken:
gh pr list --state open— none found, so the optimization loop should proceed per the guard rules.ollamabinary at /opt/hostedtoolcache/ollama/0.33.2/x64/ollama and startedollama servemanually since no server was listening on 127.0.0.1:11434 despite the prompt's claim it was already running.ollama listandollama psshowed zero cached models;find ~/.ollama -iname '*.gguf'and a repo-wide search for SmolLM2/Qwen2.5-1.5B model files returned nothing, including in the firewall chroot home (/tmp/awf-*-chroot-home/.ollama/models had empty blobs/manifests dirs).ollama pull hf.co/unsloth/SmolLM2-360M-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_Mfailed: "Get (hf.co/redacted) Forbidden".No repository files were modified. No optimization, scoring, PR, or review comment was produced because no eval model could be reached.
