  title: GitHub Actions Inspect Failed Job Logs
  summary: Find the latest failed run, list its jobs, get the failing job, and resolve its log download URL.
  description: >-
    A debugging pattern that drills from a failed run down to the log file of the
    job that broke. The workflow lists runs filtered to a failure status, lists
    the jobs of that run, fetches the first job to confirm its details, and
    requests the job log download which the API answers with a 302 redirect to a
    short-lived URL. Every step spells out its request inline so the flow can be
    read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
