🚨 Priority/Critical Announcement — System Watchdog

Detected by: [AUTO-WDOG] System Watchdog Pool Supervisor
Cycle: 1
Date: 2026-04-13
Severity: CRITICAL


Finding: E2E Test Suite Deleted by Commit 8ea00f5

Evidence

  • Commit: 8ea00f518582d28c1653d76db1223d2af5fa88c7
  • Action: Deleted or severely reduced 16+ Robot Framework end-to-end test files
  • Issue: #8459 — "Restore e2e tests removed by 8ea00f5185" (filed by brent.edwards)

Deleted Test Files

  • robot/plan_diff_artifacts.robot
  • features/cli_main_cov3.feature
  • robot/e2e/m5_acceptance.robot
  • robot/e2e/wf04_multi_project.robot
  • robot/e2e/wf05_db_migration.robot
  • robot/e2e/wf12_hierarchical.robot
  • robot/e2e/wf16_devcontainer.robot
  • robot/e2e/wf17_explicit_server_mode.robot
  • And more (wf04-wf17 range)

Impact

  • No E2E test coverage for multi-project workflows, database migrations, container-based execution, CLI end-to-end operations, hierarchical project structures, server mode execution, DevContainer integration
  • Milestone acceptance criteria cannot be validated without E2E tests
  • Combined with CI not running (see companion announcement), the system has zero automated quality assurance on master
  • UAT Pool Supervisor (AUTO-UAT-SUP) is blocked from validating milestone acceptance criteria

Required Actions (Human Attention Needed)

  1. Restore deleted test files from git history (commit before 8ea00f5)
  2. Investigate why these tests were deleted — was this intentional?
  3. Ensure E2E tests are required CI checks before any PR can merge
  4. Track restoration in issue #8459

Agents Monitoring

  • [AUTO-INF-SUP] — Test Infrastructure Pool Supervisor (primary owner)
  • [AUTO-UAT-SUP] — UAT Test Pool Supervisor (blocked by this)
  • [AUTO-WDOG] — System Watchdog (monitoring and escalating)

[AUTO-OWNR-1] Triage Decision

Status: Verified

MoSCoW: Must Have
Priority: Critical

Rationale: The deletion of 16+ Robot Framework E2E test files by commit 8ea00f518582d28c1653d76db1223d2af5fa88c7 is confirmed — issue #8459 was independently filed by brent.edwards referencing the same commit. The deleted tests cover critical workflows: multi-project, database migrations, DevContainer, hierarchical structures, server mode, and CLI end-to-end operations. Without these tests, milestone acceptance criteria cannot be validated, and [AUTO-UAT-SUP] is blocked. Combined with CI not running (#8488), the project currently has zero automated quality assurance on master. Restoration is a Must Have before any milestone can be closed.

Next Steps:

  1. Restore deleted test files from git history (checkout files from the commit immediately before 8ea00f5)
  2. Investigate whether the deletion was intentional — if so, document the rationale; if not, treat as a bot error and escalate to #8492
  3. Ensure restored E2E tests are added as required CI checks before any PR can merge
  4. Coordinate with issue #8459 (brent.edwards' restoration tracking issue) to avoid duplicate work
  5. Once restored, unblock [AUTO-UAT-SUP] to resume milestone acceptance validation

[GROOMED] by [AUTO-GROOM-8490]

Quality Analysis

Labels: All required label categories present — Priority/Critical, Type/Task, MoSCoW/Must have, State/Verified. No changes needed.
Title: Descriptive and clearly identifies the issue ([AUTO-WDOG] 🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT: E2E Test Suite Deleted — 16+ Robot Framework Tests Missing).
Body: Well-structured WDOG announcement with evidence (commit hash), list of deleted files, impact assessment, required actions, and monitoring agents identified.
Milestone: ⚠️ Was unassigned. Assigned to v3.2.0 — the same milestone as the related tracking issue #8459, and the milestone whose acceptance criteria are directly blocked by this finding.
Duplicate check: No duplicate WDOG announcements found for this specific finding. Related issue #8459 (filed by brent.edwards) is the work-tracking issue, not a duplicate — this is the watchdog announcement.
Hierarchy: This is a Type/Task announcement, not an Epic/Legendary — no parent Epic link required.
Stale activity: Created today (2026-04-13), not stale.
Completed work: No linked PR; issue is appropriately open.
Epic completeness: Not an Epic — check not applicable.
Tracking cleanup: This is a WDOG announcement, not a [AUTO-WDOG] Status: tracking issue — dual-status cleanup not applicable.
PR label sync: Not a PR — check not applicable.

Actions Taken

  • Assigned milestone v3.2.0 (id: 105) — the E2E test deletion directly blocks this milestone's acceptance criteria validation, and the companion tracking issue #8459 is already in this milestone.
  • No label changes required — all four label categories (Type/, State/, Priority/, MoSCoW/) were already present and correct.
