Check whether a build keeps failing
Is this build stuck failing?
Ask whether a build target has failed several times in a row. Then read the receipts yourself.
What you get: a yes or no on whether a target is in a failure streak, measured against the alert threshold, before you spend an hour on a build that was never going to pass.
Ask Quox
Section titled “Ask Quox”Ask in plain words:
Is the collector build target stuck in a repeated-failure streak? How many builds in a row have failed?

No, the collector target is not in a failure streak. The current streak is 0 failed builds in a row, against an alert threshold of 3. The last 100 collector receipts all came back "ok", with no failures or inconclusive results among them. An "ok" receipt on its own is unverified. I haven't run a live check that the collector container is up. I can do that if you want.

Quox read the build receipts for the target and counted the failures in a row. It also said what the receipts cannot prove: an “ok” receipt means the build finished, not that the running service is up.
Do it yourself
Section titled “Do it yourself”quox build history --json[{ "id": 250, "target": "auth", "result": "ok", "duration_seconds": 249,result is how that build ended. Read down the list for the target you care about: several failures in a row is the streak.
For the newest receipt of every target at once, the build status board:
quox build latestWhat just happened
Section titled “What just happened”Quox read the durable build receipts and changed nothing. Queuing a new build is a separate step, quox build dispatch <target>, and a receipt alone does not prove the deployed service is healthy.
