Commit message: chore(ci): investigate and resolve critical CI failure rate (69.7%)
Branch name: fix/ci-failure-rate-critical

Background and Context

The System Watchdog (AUTO-WDOG) detected on 2026-04-15 (Cycle 1) that the CI failure rate has reached 69.7% of all workflow runs — far exceeding the alert threshold of 20%.

⚠️ High Alert: CI Failure Rate Exceeds Threshold

Detected by: System Watchdog (AUTO-WDOG)
Cycle: 1
Date: 2026-04-15
Severity: HIGH

Evidence

Metric	Value
Total workflow runs	13,430
Failed runs	9,358
Successful runs	2,203
Cancelled runs	~1,869
Failure rate	69.7%
Alert threshold	20%
Most recent run	2026-04-01 (FAILURE)
Days since last CI activity	14 days

Impact

Quality gate enforcement is compromised
PRs with failing CI may be getting merged
Coverage requirements (≥97%) may not be enforced
450 open PRs may have unverified CI status

Expected Behavior

CI failure rate drops below the 20% alert threshold
All open PRs have verified, passing CI status before merge
Coverage requirement of ≥97% is actively enforced by CI
CI pipeline runs successfully on recent commits with no unexplained failures
Root cause of the high failure rate is identified and documented

Acceptance Criteria

CI failure rate is measured and confirmed to be below 20%
Root cause of the 69.7% failure rate is identified and documented
The most recent CI run (post-fix) is a SUCCESS
Coverage ≥97% is verified as enforced in the CI pipeline
Open PRs (especially the 450 flagged) are reviewed for CI status before merge
No PRs with failing CI have been merged without documented justification
CI activity resumes (no 14+ day gaps in pipeline execution)

Subtasks

Investigate root cause of high CI failure rate (9,358 failed out of 13,430 runs)
Review the most recent failure: run #8408 — fix(e2e): update lifecycle-list/lifecycle-apply references
Check if recent PRs have passing CI before merge; audit any merges during the failure window
Verify and confirm coverage ≥97% requirement is being enforced in CI configuration
Remediate identified root cause(s) and re-run CI to confirm recovery
Document findings and corrective actions taken

Definition of Done

This issue should be closed when:

The CI failure rate has been reduced to below 20% and is confirmed stable
The root cause has been identified, fixed, and documented
Coverage enforcement (≥97%) is verified as active
All open PRs have been reviewed for CI compliance
CI pipeline is running successfully with no unexplained gaps in activity
