[aw] Prompt Optimization reported incomplete result #242
Description
Workflow Failure
Workflow: Prompt Optimization
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-wizard/actions/runs/33509001441
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 infrastructure was not actually available despite the task description. No open PR titled 'Prompt optimization:' exists, so I proceeded to set up evaluation, but it could not run.
Findings:
- No Ollama server was running at (127.0.0.1/redacted) (connection refused) when the session started; I had to manually locate and start the binary at /opt/hostedtoolcache/ollama/0.33.2/x64/ollama myself.
- After starting it,
ollama list//api/tagsshowed zero models cached ({"models":[]}) — neitherhf.co/bartowski/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_Mnorhf.co/unsloth/SmolLM2-360M-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_Mwere present, contradicting the task's claim that both GGUF proxies had already been downloaded from Hugging Face. - Outbound network to huggingface.co and ollama.com both timed out (curl exit 56 / HTTP 000), so I could not pull the models myself to work around the missing cache.
- Even disregarding the network/model issue, the ollama server log shows its GPU/CPU discovery failed because the
llama-serverbackend binary is missing from the ollama installation ("llama-server binary not found... Run 'cmake -S llama/server --preset cpu && cmake --build --preset cpu' first"), so inference would not work even with models present.
Given no eval endpoint could serve either required model, I could not run scripts/prompt-optimizer.mjs --evaluate/--score, could not measure any incumbent or candidate scores, and therefore made no prompt changes, no PR, and no review. I stopped the ollama server process I had started (PID 794) before finishing.

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 model server infrastructure was not actually provisioned: no models were cached and no server process was running at task start. HF/hf.co pulls are blocked by the sandbox's squid proxy (403 Forbidden), so the required eval models (Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-GGUF and SmolLM2-360M-Instruct-GGUF) could not be downloaded or measured.
Steps taken:
ollama serve(redirected OLLAMA_HOME to /tmp/gh-aw/agent/ollama since $HOME is read-only-ish for ollama's default cache dir). Server came up and listened on 127.0.0.1:11434, butGET /api/tagsreturned an empty model list — no GGUF proxies were cached.ollama pull hf.co/unsloth/SmolLM2-360M-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M— failed with "Get (hf.co/redacted) Forbidden".curl -I (huggingface.co/redacted)and(hf.co/redacted)both return HTTP 403 Forbidden from the squid proxy (squid/7.6-VCS), confirming egress to Hugging Face is blocked in this sandbox, not just an ollama auth issue.No source files were modified (the only working-tree diff, in .github/skills/optimize-scenario-prompt/SKILL.md, was pre-existing before this session and was left untouched). No PR, review comment, or review was created.
