Maintenance
Investigates a specific CI failure to a verdict: whose fault, which commit, who wrote it, and whether it's fixed. Use for "who broke master", "why did this test fail in CI", "is this failure my PR's fault or everyone's", "is this test flaky or actually broken", "when did this failure start". Works from the engineering_analytics warehouse views (engineering_analytics_ci_failures, engineering_analytics_ci_job_history) plus the CI failure logs. Not for aggregate CI health, cost, or merge bottlenecks (use diagnosing-ci-and-merge-bottlenecks) and not for building saved insights (use turning-engineering-analytics-into-insights).
