All Issues

Complete comprehensive list of all issues.

Memory & Context

Context Changes After Restore

Restoring, reopening, resuming, or reloading a task changes the context that the AI uses to continue the work.

Memory & Context

Context Leaks Between Tasks

Context, assumptions, constraints, examples, files, or decisions from one task affect another task where they should not apply.

Permissions & Approvals

Declared Owner Cannot Control Outcome

A person, role, system, or policy is declared responsible for an outcome but does not have the actual authority or control needed to govern it.

Coverage & Guidance

Diagnostic Area Has No Coverage

A known diagnostic area, failure mode, requirement, or review dimension has no Issue, check, rubric item, or workflow coverage.

Spread & Escalation

Downstream Steps Magnify Hallucinated Claim

A hallucinated or unsupported claim from an AI output is reused by later workflow steps until it becomes more influential than the evidence supports.

Duplication & Overload

Duplicate Fields With Same Meaning

The AI returns multiple fields, labels, sections, or structured elements that carry the same meaning and create ambiguity about which one should be used.

Duplication & Overload

Duplicate Output Sections

The AI repeats sections, headings, blocks, or output areas in a way that creates redundancy, confusion, or downstream handling problems.

Spread & Escalation

Early Model Output Gets Overweighted Downstream

An early AI output receives too much authority in later workflow steps, decisions, reviews, or generated artifacts.

Coverage & Guidance

Evaluation Rubric Has Coverage Gap

An evaluation rubric, grading standard, or review checklist leaves part of the required evaluation space uncovered.

Permissions & Approvals

Fallback Authority Is Missing

The system does not declare who or what has authority when the primary owner, rule, tool, source, or decision path is unavailable or inconclusive.

Scope & Boundaries

File-Bounded Task Uses Outside Content

The AI is asked to work only from a specific file or document but uses content, assumptions, or sources outside that file.

Coverage & Guidance

Format Rule Too Weak

The format instruction is too vague, incomplete, or optional to reliably produce output that satisfies the expected structure.

Output

Hallucinated Fields

The AI adds fields, keys, attributes, columns, or structured elements that were not declared, requested, or allowed by the expected schema.

Rules & Policies

Hidden Rule Overrides Visible Instruction

A hidden, upstream, system, policy, tool, or product rule changes or overrides the visible instruction the user expects the AI to follow.

Workflow & Handoffs

Human Review and Automation Disagree

A human review result and an automated AI or workflow result disagree without a declared rule for resolving the difference.

Output

Invalid JSON Output

The AI returns malformed JSON or structured output that cannot be parsed.

Spread & Escalation

Local Exception Grows Into Policy

A local exception, special case, or one-off allowance begins to function like a general policy.

Spread & Escalation

Local Rule Spreads to Broader Cases

A rule intended for one local case, file, context, user, workflow, or exception begins affecting broader cases.

Loops & Resolution

Merge Step Leaves Unresolved Differences

A merge, reconciliation, or consolidation step combines outputs or reviews but leaves important differences unresolved.

Coverage & Guidance

Missing Fallback for Unavailable Information

The task does not declare what the AI should do when required information, sources, tools, fields, or evidence are unavailable.

Output

Missing Required Fields

The AI returns structured output that omits fields required by the schema, workflow, parser, form, or downstream consumer.

Workflow & Handoffs

Model and Workflow Disagree on Next Step

The AI model recommends or selects a next step that conflicts with the workflow state, required handoff, routing rule, or process sequence.

Permissions & Approvals

Model Output Triggers Unapproved Action

AI output causes, recommends, or triggers an action that has not passed the required approval, permission, or authority check.

Duplication & Overload

Multiple Policies Say the Same Thing

Multiple policies, rules, or guidance documents express the same requirement, creating redundancy and uncertainty about which one governs.
