Investigation Status

I've attempted multiple approaches to access the vmsss branch but I'm unable to fetch it due to tool permission restrictions. Here's what I need to help you:

What I Need

Please provide any of the following so I can investigate the failures:

Option 1: Direct Link to Failure

• URL to the failed GitHub Actions workflow run on the vmsss branch
• This is the fastest way - I can then examine the logs

Option 2: Error Output
Copy and paste:

• The error message(s) from the failing step
• The step name that's failing
• Any relevant log output

Option 3: Show Me the Changes
Share the content of:

• Any new/modified workflow files in .github/workflows/ from the vmsss branch
• Any new scripts or configuration files you've added for VMSS

Option 4: Merge vmsss into this branch
If you merge the vmsss branch into the current branch (claude/issue-9904-20251101-1412), I can immediately see the changes and investigate.

What I've Confirmed So Far

• Current CI/CD uses Appveyor (appveyor.yml) and GitHub Actions
• GitHub Actions currently runs tests on Linux (Docker), Windows (SQL Server), and macOS
• You're trying to replace/supplement this with VMSS (Virtual Machine Scale Sets)
• The vmsss branch exists but I cannot fetch it with current permissions

Once I can see the actual failure or configuration, I can quickly identify and fix the issue.

@claude do i just tell you? if so

I Grant you access to WebFetch and git operations so I can:

Fetch and examine the vmsss branch
View GitHub workflow runs and logs
Compare the changes

Investigation of VMSS Branch Failures

Tasks

• Fetch and checkout the vmsss branch
• Examine workflow configuration files
• Identify recent workflow runs and failures
• Analyze the root cause of the failure
• Provide solution or implement fix

Status Update

I can see the vmsss branch exists on the remote (commit 5db1d23), but I'm encountering permission issues:

1. Git fetch commands require approval - Even though you mentioned granting access, the system is still blocking git fetch operations
2. WebFetch tool requires approval - I cannot access GitHub's web interface to view workflow runs
3. GitHub CLI (gh) commands require approval - Cannot query the GitHub API for workflow run information

What I Need

To proceed with the investigation, I need one of the following:

Option A: Grant Tool Permissions
The system needs explicit permission for these tools:

• Git operations (specifically git fetch)
• WebFetch (to view GitHub pages)
• Or Bash commands for gh CLI

Option B: Provide Information Directly
You can help me by providing:

• The URL to the failing GitHub Actions workflow run on the vmsss branch
• Or copy/paste the error message from the last step that's failing
• Or the names of the workflow files you modified (in .github/workflows/)

Option C: Merge the Branch
If you run git merge vmsss on this branch (claude/issue-9904-20251101-1416), I'll be able to see all the changes immediately and investigate.

Which approach would you prefer?
