Results and evidence

Understand the outcome of a run.

Attest associates a run with an exact pull request head SHA. A result only describes the commit and behavior actually investigated.

  • Pass: the required behavior was exercised and supported by sufficient recorded evidence.
  • Fail: evidence supports a failure of the intended behavior.
  • Inconclusive: Attest could not verify the behavior, for example because preview, login, context, budget or evidence was insufficient.
  • Cancelled or superseded: work stopped or became outdated; it is not a pass.

GitHub and private evidence

Attest publishes a Check and maintains a PR summary where supported. The authenticated run page contains detailed evidence when available. Access is restricted to an administrator session and current repository access; evidence expires after 14 days under the current retention policy. Some screenshots are withheld after credential use or signed navigation.

The implementation maps inconclusive outcomes to a non-success Check, but actual required-check and ruleset behavior has not completed real GitHub acceptance. Fork or missing-head cases may use a comment-only fallback; do not assume they gate merges. Review the tested SHA and never treat a model's proposal alone as proof.
