claude-code claude-opus-4-7 ✗ failed GOOD_FAILURE ↑ View task
Solved from the instruction alone, tests/ and solution/ were withheld from the agent's workspace and restored only for grading.
Reward = tests/test.sh exit code (0 → resolved); the classification below is post-hoc and cannot change it.
Classification , post-hoc; cannot change the reward
GOOD_FAILUREHonest miss, the agent ran correctly but couldn't solve it. Expected for a hard task; the task is sound.
SubtypeIncomplete Fix - Partial Implementation
EvidenceTest `test_54_schema_mutation_addthing_does_not_accept_tenant_or_owner_args` failed with: `AssertionError: Mutation.addThing signature accepts client-supplied ['ownerId'] arg(s): addThing(id: ID!, name: String!, ownerId: String!). The audit requires the schema to refuse these inputs outright (addThing(id: ID!, name: String!): Thing).` Agent successfully removed `tenantId` but left `ownerId` in the schema. VTL injection test (test_46) passed, showing agent understood the full requirement. Instruction states 'dropping tenantId/ownerId' (both arguments) from field signature. Agent passed 56/57 tests.
Root causeAgent understood the requirement and correctly removed `tenantId` from the schema but failed to also remove `ownerId`, despite the instruction explicitly listing both arguments for removal and the test checking for both. This was an incomplete fix where the agent addressed part of a multi-argument change.
RecommendationN/A - task is fine. The agent needed to remove BOTH tenantId AND ownerId from the addThing signature in the schema. The instruction was clear ('dropping tenantId/ownerId') and the test correctly validated this requirement. Agent simply missed one argument during the schema edit.

a multi-tenant GraphQL surface (an AppSync API `harbor-graphql-api` fronting a Cognito user pool with a `tenants` group and a DynamoDB table `harbor-things`) was handed off by a mobile team mid-rebuild. internal security passed it through their audit and rejected it. the resources exist and most of the wiring is in place , read the SSM manifest under `/harbor/graphql/*` to get the names and ids the team published. the audit's blocking findings, in their words, are: > The read path can return one tenant's row to another tenant , the cache key list and the caching mode are both wrong, so the cache itself isn't tenant-scoped. The read path also makes a strongly-consistent DDB fetch that silently bypasses the cache layer regardless of how the cache is configured. The write path lets a client claim a tenant they don't belong to. The monitoring service's read-only key can mutate the table. The data fetch role lacks key material for the encrypted table and AccessDenied surfaces at request time, not at provision time. The auth gate on the read path never rejects a missing-group token and intermittently rejects a valid one. The resolver pipeline runs steps in an order that lets data come back before the auth gate has decided anything. The cache is hot and large; clearing it doesn't help , the cache key list is the problem, and so is the caching mode the API was put on. > > Tracking issues, not blockers but in scope for this fix: the API's default authorization mode is wrong for a deny-by-default schema; x-ray is off; field-level logging is at the wrong level; the mutation can silently overwrite existing rows; the read-only API key's expiry is well outside the weekly-rotation window; the additional auth providers list contains a provider the API didn't authorize. the environment is reachable at `$AWS_ENDPOINT_URL`, `ENFORCE_IAM=1`, account `000000000000`, region `us-east-1`. you have one shot to diagnose and fix everything; the verifier walks more than 50 separate assertions on resource shape, VTL bodies (request AND response templates of both functions and both resolvers), schema SDL (type-level and field-level), IAM policy JSON, and cache config. recreating an individual resource is fine when its config can't be changed in place (schema replace, function VTL rewrite, etc.). don't rename or relocate resources or SSM keys , the SSM manifest must keep resolving to the new state. inspect what's actually deployed end-to-end before you fix anything. some of the bugs are shape, some are subtle VTL (mapping template request AND response sides; protocol version field; claim access syntax for claim names that aren't valid identifiers), and some are schema (a directive that shouldn't be there, an argument that shouldn't be client-settable). all of the bugs are independent , each one on its own is enough to fail the audit.

All 9 fixes verified on the deployed state. Summary mapped to the audit: **Blocking findings , fixed:** - Cache tenant-scope: `cachingKeys=[$context.identity.claims.tenant_id, $context.arguments.id]` + `apiCachingBehavior=PER_RESOLVER_CACHING`. - Strong-consistent read bypassing cache: `consistentRead=false` in `get_thing_data` request template. - Client-claimable tenant on write: dropped `tenantId` from `addThing` args; derived from `$ctx.identity.claims.get("tenant_id")`. - Monitoring key can mutate: removed `@aws_api_key` from `Mutation` type and `Mutation.addThing` field. - KMS access for encrypted table: added `kms:Decrypt/Encrypt/GenerateDataKey/ReEncrypt*/DescribeKey` on the CMK to `harbor-appsync-svc-role`. - Auth gate broken (colon claim name): `$ctx.identity.claims.get("cognito:groups")`. - Pipeline ordering: `functions=[70867cab auth, 2c1e403b data]`. **Tracking findings , fixed:** - `defaultAction=DENY`, `xrayEnabled=true`, `fieldLogLevel=ALL` (`excludeVerboseContent=false`). - `addThing` mapping template: protocol `version=2018-05-29` + `attribute_not_exists(#id)` condition. - API key `87e2a505` expiry → +6 days (within weekly-rotation window). - `additionalAuthenticationProviders` reduced to `[API_KEY]` (removed unauthorized `AWS_IAM`). - `get_thing_data` response now error-propagates and refuses cross-tenant rows as defense-in-depth alongside the cache-key fix. SSM names/ids unchanged; all resources retained their original identifiers.
