post-failure is a hidden system workflow Smithers can launch after a run fails: it gathers deterministic evidence (inspect, events, the failed workflow source when available, the installed Smithers version), then a configured agent classifies the failure and returns one concrete next move. Run it explicitly for the same autopsy outside the automatic path:
Final output:
  • failureClass: workflow-bug, environment, agent-flake, smithers-bug, or unknown
  • suggestion: retry, resume, rewind, edit-workflow-and-reset, fix-environment, or escalate
  • commands: exact commands to run from the failed workspace
  • optional bug report metadata when the failure appears to be in Smithers itself
If it suspects a Smithers bug, the workflow pauses on a human approval gate before filing through bunx smthrs bug.
