Runbook 14 — Structured failure artifacts

This preview outlines the capability introduced by this runbook and the role it plays in the larger automation system.

What this runbook does

Test failures are typically inconsistent and difficult to analyze without reruns. This runbook defines a deterministic artifact contract where every failure produces structured data with linked, inspectable evidence.

• Each failure outputs a standardized JSON artifact
• Evidence is captured and linked in a consistent, predictable format
• Artifacts are designed for automated triage and decision systems

What it proves

Failures can be transformed into structured, machine-readable inputs, enabling automated analysis and reliable release decisions.

Access

The full runbook includes artifact schema, failure taxonomy, evidence contract, and rules for making failures diagnosable without rerun.
