# Where should the failure signal come from?

## Asked

Self-report, git-mined, CI-mined, or all three?

## Answer

All three, cross-referenced. Self-report is the rich signal - the only source carrying the trigger and the misleading symptom. Git and CI are the honesty check: a fix: commit with no self-reported failure is itself a finding.
