Idmp Workflow Alert Debug

workflow: alert debug

Read [../idmp-shared/SKILL.md](../idmp-shared/SKILL.md) first.

Missing context to resolve first

• Failure boundary.
• Reread window.
• Event scope.
• Notify-rule scope.
• Whether the complaint is “no event opened” or “event opened but delivery failed”.

Constrained live behaviors

• confirm and resend have side effects.
• status=Unack is the safest default when the operator needs an open event.
• Prefer analysisId when correlating an event back to alert creation.
• Notification history can lag behind resend.
• A linked analysis was already deleted in some valid debug branches.
• Capture event evidence before any acknowledge or resend action.

Execution flow

1. Start with idmp-cli event count list and idmp-cli event events list --params to decide whether the failure is missing events or missing delivery.
2. Use idmp-cli event events get --params and idmp-cli event events items --params to lock a single event and its payload.
3. Only after evidence is captured should you consider idmp-cli event events confirm --ack-risk --params or idmp-cli event events resend --ack-risk --params.
4. Read idmp-cli notification config list to confirm the notification side is configured.
5. Finish with idmp-cli notification page list --params to inspect delivery history after the event-side review.

Exception paths

• If no event exists, stop and hand off to alert creation or analysis diagnosis.
• If delivery history is empty right after resend, call out history lag before declaring failure.
• Any temporary debug artifact must be deleted before you leave the workflow.

Validation scenarios

1. Event exists and explains the alert

Use idmp-cli event events list --params, then idmp-cli event events get --params. The result should prove the alert opened and what the event currently says.

2. Delivery failure with no mutation

Use idmp-cli notification config list and idmp-cli notification page list --params without changing event state. This path is for diagnosis only.

3. Acknowledge and resend with evidence captured

Only after reading idmp-cli event events items --params should you use idmp-cli event events confirm --ack-risk --params. Mutation is never the first debugging step.

4. Temporary debug annotation lifecycle

If you add any temporary note while debugging, plan its cleanup explicitly. The workflow is still incomplete until the temporary artifact is removed.

5. No event exists

Start with idmp-cli event count list and idmp-cli event events list --params. If both prove there is no event, stop and report the upstream boundary. Reread notification page list after resend only when resend was actually executed.
