fix(agent): mark failed agent.run spans as ERROR with their run error code - #4600
Conversation
… code A run that ended on a terminal RunError, or whose runtime stream threw, recorded agent.run.final_status=failed but left the span status UNSET, so error searches in Tempo missed every failed internal agent run. The finalized log for those runs also carried no error. Failed runs now set ERROR status with the stable run error code as the status message, error.type carries the RunError code, and the finalized log is a warn with errorCode and error. agent.run.tool_error_count records tool failures the run recovered from, so a completed run with failed tools stays distinguishable from an unresolved failure without being marked ERROR. Cancellation stays UNSET.

…ures ERROR The terminal agent.run path now emits only the stable RunError code, since the message can carry unclassified framework error text. The thrown path reports the same code as error.type and keeps the JS class in error.cause.type. Hosted run spans are marked ERROR with their terminal error code through a new ServiceTracerSpan.markFailed. Failed invoke_agent children are counted apart as agent.run.child_run_error_count, and the terminal logs carry parentRunId, projectId and the error counts.

A custom tool that shares the invoke_agent name is not a child run, so agent.run.child_run_error_count now counts only control-plane delegation tools and the framework invoke_agent, resolved from the merged tool set.

RunError codes are kept only when they have the shape of a classification;
anything else falls back to AgentRunTerminalError before reaching the span
status or the finalized log. Framework agent_{id} delegate tools now count
as child runs. ServiceTracerSpan.markFailed is optional so existing custom
tracers keep satisfying the public type, and it records the synthetic
exception without a reporting-site stack.

…iled The hosted run span's error.type, and now its status message, come from the terminal error code a runtime reports. Share the classification-shape check with the internal run path so an arbitrary code falls back to STREAM_ERROR.

Problem
Failed internal agent runs (the
agent.runspan emitted by veryfront-server) recordagent.run.final_status=failedbut leave the span status UNSET, so Tempo error searches and error-rate queries miss them. TheInternal agent runtime stream finalizedlog for those runs is an info line withstatus: failedand no error.Tempo, production, 7 days to 2026-09-26 (
{ span.agent.run.final_status != nil } | count_over_time() by (status, name, resource.service.name, span.agent.run.final_status), summed per day):Audited sample: trace

createRuntimeAgentStreamResponse(src/internal-agents/run-stream.ts) settles both failure paths itself: a terminalRunErrorfrom the runtime ends the stream normally, and a thrown stream error is caught. Neither throws throughwithSpan, which is the only place that set ERROR, and neither path set a status on the span. The terminal path also dropped the RunError code and message.Fix
markSpanFailed(span, errorCode)inotlp-setup.ts: sets ERROR with the code as the status message (no stack), through the same guarded pathwithSpanuses.error.type= that code. Only identifier-shaped codes are kept (letter first, then[A-Za-z0-9_.-], at most 64 chars); anything else, or a missing code, becomesAgentRunTerminalError. The finalized log becomeswarnand carrieserrorCode. The RunError message is deliberately not copied into the span or the log, because an unclassified framework failure passes its rawError.messagethrough as the RunError text.RUNTIME_ERRORor the provider replay code).error.typeis that code on both paths now; the JS class moves toerror.cause.type. The failure log gainserrorCode.invoke_agent <agent>spans fromcreateHostedAgentRunSpanController):finalizewithstatus: "failed"now calls the new optionalServiceTracerSpan.markFailed(errorCode)(recorded without a stack), so the span is ERROR with the same code as itserror.type(the terminal error code when it passes the same classification-shape check, otherwiseSTREAM_ERROR). Completed and cancelled runs are unchanged.agent.run.tool_error_count(all failed tool results) andagent.run.child_run_error_count(failed results of child-run tools only: the control-plane injectedinvoke_agent/veryfront__invoke_agent, the framework invoke_agent, and the frameworkagent_{id}delegate tools, identified by provenance rather than name; a custom inline or registry tool that merely shares the name is not counted) on every terminal outcome. A completed run that recovered from them stays out of ERROR and is findable with{ name = "agent.run" && span.agent.run.final_status = "completed" && span.agent.run.child_run_error_count > 0 }.
