[CI Failure Doctor] 🏥 CI Failure Investigation - Run #36086

[github-actions]

Summary

• The lint-go job fails on main because staticcheck (via make golint) reports SA4010 on pkg/cli/compile_orchestration.go.
• The failure happened after the change to simplify serverHost extraction in push_repo_memory.cjs (commit cf0ad8c351ec0c7fab0d19ac94523b5e1ac52d48).

Failure Details

• Run: 22074642970 (CI)
• Commit: cf0ad8c351ec0c7fab0d19ac94523b5e1ac52d48
• Trigger: push

Root Cause Analysis

• compileSpecificFiles builds an errorMessages slice, appends the first error message when compileWorkflowFile fails, but never reads from that slice again.
• Staticcheck SA4010 flags the append result because dropping it indicates a latent bug: either the accumulated value should be used or the append should be removed.
• The lint job fails immediately because golangci-lint enforces staticcheck across pkg/cli/compile_orchestration.go.

Failed Jobs and Errors

• lint-go: pkg/cli/compile_orchestration.go:79:20 and pkg/cli/compile_orchestration.go:115:21 (SA4010, append result ignored). make golint exits with error 1 after those diagnostics.

Investigation Findings

• Running make golint (as triggered inside the workflow when the branch is main) reproduces the SA4010 errors because the errorMessages append results are never consumed.
• Staticcheck correctly identifies that slices should not be appended to if the resulting value is ignored.
• The rest of the function already communicates errors through validationResults, so the extra slice can be removed safely.

Recommended Actions

• Remove the unused errorMessages slice and its append calls (or otherwise consume the appended values) so that staticcheck no longer reports SA4010. pkg/cli/compile_orchestration.go should not maintain unused state.
• Re-run make golint (or make lint) on the affected branch once the code change is in place to confirm the job succeeds.

Prevention Strategies

• Run staticcheck on compile orchestration paths locally before pushing and treat SA4010 as a blocker.
• Trigger a selective make golint check after editing functions that build auxiliary slices to avoid introducing unused data structures.

AI Team Self-Improvement

• When adding helpers that collect errors, double-check that every append result is either stored or meaningfully consumed before pushing changes that touch lint-sensitive files.

Historical Context

• No prior CI Failure Doctor issues describing this specific SA4010 violation were found for this workflow.
