What problem are you solving?
A client should receive yesterday's report by email every day at 09:00. Today no email arrived. They only provided a few log lines, so you need to explain the likely chain and safe next steps.
Use these assumptions
Assume a cron job, report API, and email service. The deployment could be Vercel, a server, or an automation tool. Do not log into a real system and do not ask for passwords or secrets.
Base your work only on this material
Log excerpt: 08:59 cron triggered 09:00 fetch report failed: 401 09:00 email skipped: no attachment Client symptom: the 09:00 daily report email did not arrive today.
What to submit
- Most likely cause
- Facts proven by the logs
- Information to request from the client
- Safe check order
- Temporary workaround
- Prevention suggestions
- Short client-facing reply
What makes a result pass review
- Explain that 401 can prevent report attachment generation
- Explain why no attachment leads to skipped email
- Do not request passwords, API keys, or secrets directly
- Include a temporary resend suggestion
- Separate known facts from assumptions
Recommended format
- Use sections: judgment, evidence, checks, temporary workaround, prevention, client reply
