Determine whether Make recorded an error, warning, incomplete execution, successful run, or no run at all.

Failure field guide / MakeFind the bundle that changed the outcome.
Make scenarios can fail explicitly, stop as incomplete executions, or complete while routing the wrong data. Diagnose the execution state before adding another handler.

Diagnostic order
Read the run before changing the route.
Inspect the failing bundle
Compare the module’s input bundle, mapped values, output, and error details with a known-good execution.
Review handler behavior
Skip, retry, break, rollback, and resume decisions have different business consequences. Confirm what already happened downstream.
Define the safe continuation
Choose whether to resume an incomplete execution, replay a bounded step, route to review, or stop and rebuild the fragile branch.
Common failure classes
Where Make scenarios become unreliable.
- Field mapping changed after an upstream app update
- A router or filter accepted the wrong bundle
- Connection, token, permission, or API-limit failure
- Incomplete executions disabled or left unresolved
- Error handler marks a run successful while business work is skipped
- Retry repeats a non-idempotent action
An error handler is not automatically a repair. It must preserve the intended business outcome, expose unresolved work, and avoid duplicates.
Rescue decision
Keep the parts that remain explainable.
A scenario is usually rescueable when its failure can be reproduced, the affected bundles can be identified, and recovery can be bounded. Rebuild becomes more responsible when undocumented branches and side effects prevent a safe repair.
Augmentive AI’s diagnostic is scoped and paid after fit review. Production repair is a separate phase.
