Summary

Fixes #332

The Drafter workflow was failing with "Engine Failure: The claude engine terminated unexpectedly" and MCP server connection errors. Analysis of the error logs and workflow configuration revealed that the 15-minute timeout was too short for operations on a Rust project.

Changes

• Increased timeout-minutes in .github/workflows/drafter.md from 15 to 30 minutes

Rationale

Rust projects require significant time for:

• Repository exploration and code analysis
• Cargo compilation (which can be slow, especially for cold builds)
• Running tests and validation
• Network operations for crate downloads

The compiled workflow shows that while the top-level activation job has a 60-minute timeout and the safe_outputs job has 45 minutes, the agent step itself only had 15 minutes. This mismatch meant the agent would be terminated mid-execution when working on non-trivial changes.

Post-merge action required

⚠️ The workflow lockfile (.github/workflows/drafter.lock.yml) needs to be recompiled after this PR is merged:

gh aw compile --approve

Or trigger the scheduled upgrade workflow to handle it automatically.

Validation

• Analyzed the error logs from the failed workflow run
• Compared timeout settings across different jobs in the compiled workflows
• Verified that 30 minutes is consistent with other long-running workflow jobs

Warning

Firewall blocked 2 domains

The following domains were blocked by the firewall during workflow execution:

• api.anthropic.com
• api.github.com

[!TIP]
api.github.com is blocked because GitHub API access uses the built-in GitHub tools by default. Instead of adding api.github.com to network.allowed, use tools.github.mode: gh-proxy for direct pre-authenticated GitHub CLI access without requiring network access to api.github.com:

tools:
  github:
    mode: gh-proxy

See GitHub Tools for more information on gh-proxy mode.

To allow these domains, add them to the network.allowed list in your workflow frontmatter:

network:
  allowed:
    - defaults
    - "api.anthropic.com"
    - "api.github.com"

See Network Configuration for more information.

Reviewed the timeout increase from 15 to 30 minutes for the Drafter workflow.

Verified:

• Change correctly addresses issue #332 (workflow timeouts causing engine termination)
• Root cause analysis is sound—AbortError logs confirm timeout, and Rust operations (cargo compilation, testing) require significant time
• 30 minutes is appropriate—doubles the timeout while remaining well under activation (60min) and safe_outputs (45min) limits
• Minimal, focused change with thorough documentation
• Follows repository conventions

The lockfile recompilation requirement is clearly documented in the PR description for post-merge action. This change is ready to merge.

Even 30 minutes is probably too short...
