Overview / Motivation
Auto-filed by /daily 2026-07-29 (problem sweep; emitting source: miner H-P4 residual (#1689 fellows lane; the other two crashes are already filed as #1835/#1836)).
Goal
A job whose workload finished must not read as bare 'dead' to the poller on a status-writer artifact.
Workflow gap
- Bug observed: unverified hypothesis — verify at plan time: the FAILED 0:0 despite-complete state is the #1836 tmp race polluting the final write (miner hypothesis; #1836 covers the heartbeat/phase writes — whether it covers the exit-status path is the open question).
- Why it is a workflow gap: the poller maps SLURM FAILED to dead unconditionally; an artifacts-present disambiguation avoids false crash-fix rounds.
- Confidence (emitter): medium
- verified-at-filing: n/a — reason: incident is cluster-side; #1835/#1836 exist at proposed (task.py view, 2026-07-30) — this filing is ONLY the residual disambiguation.
Proposed change (refine in planning)
Add the artifacts-present disambiguation to the SLURM poll path; verify #1836 fix coverage of the final status write first (dedup: if covered, deflect no-change).
Scope / surfaces
- Primary target:
src/explore_persona_space/backends/slurm.py - Grep the workflow surface for the pattern before editing and update every hit.
Constraints / invariants
- Workflow-surface only;
scripts/workflow_lint.py --check-askspasses; ruff clean on touched files.
