Investigate this GitHub Actions URL: $ARGUMENTS

Use the gh CLI to analyze this workflow run. Your investigation should:

Get basic info & identify actual failure:
- What workflow/job failed, when, and on which commit?
- CRITICAL: Read the full logs carefully to find what SPECIFICALLY caused the exit code 1
- Distinguish between warnings/non-fatal errors vs actual failures
- Look for patterns like "failing:", "fatal:", or script logic that determines when to exit 1
- If you see both "non-fatal" and "fatal" errors, focus on what actually caused the failure
Check flakiness: Check the past 10-20 runs of THE EXACT SAME failing job:
- IMPORTANT: If a workflow has multiple jobs, you must check history for the SPECIFIC JOB that failed, not just the workflow
- Use gh run list --workflow=<workflow-name> to get run IDs, then gh run view <run-id> --json jobs to check the specific job's status
- Is this a one-time failure or recurring pattern for THIS SPECIFIC JOB?
- What's the success rate for THIS JOB recently?
- When did THIS JOB last pass?
Identify breaking commit (if there's a pattern of failures for the specific job):
- Find the first run where THIS SPECIFIC JOB failed and the last run where it passed
- Identify the commit that introduced the failure
- Verify by checking: does THIS JOB fail in ALL runs after that commit? Does it pass in ALL runs before?
- If verified, report the breaking commit with high confidence
Root cause: Based on logs, history, and any breaking commit, what's the likely cause?
- Focus on what ACTUALLY caused the failure (not just any errors you see)
- Verify your hypothesis against the logs and failure logic
Check for existing fix PRs: Search for open PRs that might already address this issue:
- Use gh pr list --state open --search "<keywords>" with relevant error messages or file names
- Check if any open PR modifies the failing file/workflow
- If a fix PR exists, note it in your report and skip the recommendation section

Write a final report with:

Summary of failure (what specifically triggered the exit code 1)
Flakiness assessment (one-time vs recurring, success rate)
Breaking commit (if identified and verified)
Root cause analysis (based on the ACTUAL failure trigger)
Existing fix PR (if found - include PR number and link)
Recommendation (skip if fix PR already exists)
