A Copilot cloud agent created a branch and draft pull request to fix a broken authentication flow. The pull request summary claims the bug is fixed, but the validation workflow failed and uploaded diagnostic artifacts. The team wants to identify the root cause before asking Copilot to continue. Which four actions should you perform in order? 1. Compare the agent plan with the pull request diff 2. Mark the draft pull request ready for review 3. Open the failed workflow run and failed step logs 4. Download the diagnostics artifact from the run 5. Ask Copilot to retry with broader permissions 6. Inspect trace outputs for the failing authentication path

The most logical first step is to open the failed workflow run and failed step logs (3) to understand why the validation failed. Next, download the diagnostics artifact from the run (4), as it contains crucial information for debugging. Then, inspect trace outputs for the failing authentication path (6) to pinpoint the exact failure point within the code. Finally, compare the agent plan with the pull request diff (1) to see if the agent's intended changes align with the actual changes and the observed failure. Option 1 is incorrect because marking the draft pull request ready for review (2) is premature when the validation has failed. Options 2 and 3 are incorrect because they prioritize less immediate or less informative steps over directly investigating the failure logs and artifacts.
