[AW Top 10] 06 Reduce runs that finish without a terminal safe output #76175
Description
Priority 6/10 | 11 source issues | Impact 3/5 | Confidence 3/5 | Effort 3/5
One assignment, one coherent fix
Many workflows end with an incomplete result or no terminal safe output even though the agent work appears finished.
Implementation scope
Audit the terminal-output handling so that successful work records a completion signal, and add a final-step reminder or fallback noop. Distinguish genuine incompletes from missing signals in failure issues.
Done when
- Runs that complete their work always record a terminal safe output.
- Failure issues distinguish missing signals from genuine incomplete work.
Why now
Eleven reports show the same classification across smoke and production workflows. Some reflect real incompletes, so the fix targets only the signalling path.
