ci(release): list failed jobs in pre-release failure notifications #4718
As the triage engineer or release captain, I want a failed pre-release's Slack notification to link the failed jobs, so I can start on the fix without opening a 90-job run to find the problem.
Problem Statement
notify-prerelease-failure in .github/workflows/release-prerelease.yml posts the same text for every failure:
❌ OpenShell prerelease v0.1.5-pre.5 failed (attempt 1). Published artifacts remain available.
View failed release run
It doesn't say which job broke. For v0.1.5-pre.5 (run 39250333833), the cause was one Cargo Deny job among 92. In the triage thread, Drew suggested this format:
Failing checks
• [Check Name](link to failing check)
Impact / Why This Matters
Pre-releases run every weekday and fail often for unrelated reasons: new RustSec advisories, runner flakes, registry errors. Linking the failed jobs in the message gets triage to the cause in one click.
Proposed Design
In notify-prerelease-failure, keep the existing message and append a "Failed jobs" list. It links every failure or timed_out job in the current run attempt, using the Actions jobs API (actions: read). If the lookup fails, send the message without the list.
Acceptance Criteria
A failed pre-release notification links each failed job.
The notification still sends when the jobs API call fails.
CI.md mentions the job links.
Alternatives Considered
Using Slack Block Kit sections. The existing webhooks use plain text with mrkdwn, which supports the requested layout, so this keeps the change small.
