Cause: a slow-feature-pipeline branch makes each grain×model pair take longer than expected; on a developer laptop with limited CPU 18 jobs can exceed 90 s under load. Fix: visit `/visualize/batch/{batch_id}` to follow the run to completion; the step is `warn` (non-fatal), so the pipeline still goes green. 16. **`batch_preset` step fails with `HTTP 422 -- Unprocessable Entity` from `/batch/forecasting` (PRP-39, `showcase_rich` only)** — `BatchSubmitRequest` validation rejected the body. Common causes: (a) `BatchScope.kind` casing drift (must be lowercase `"manual"`); (b) `operation` value drift (must be `"train"` / `"predict"` / `"backtest"` / `"train_backtest_register"`, NOT `"forecasting"`); (c) the discovered `store_ids` / `product_ids` list is empty because `step_status` did not seed the grain.

Cause: the original alias target was archived between the swap and the cleanup (an `agent_require_approval` archive_run tool fire by an operator during the demo). Fix: re-create the alias manually pointing at the V2 winner. The cleanup step warns and continues so the run still goes green. -18. **`scenario_simulate_and_save` step fails with `Cannot parse artifact-key from artifact_uri` (PRP-40, `showcase_rich` only)** — the `demo-production` alias's run has an `artifact_uri` the `_parse_artifact_key` regex can't match (`r"model_([0-9a-f]+)(?:\.joblib)?$"`). Causes: a backfilled run with an irregular `artifact_uri`, or a forecasting-slice change to the model-path convention. Fix: inspect the run via `GET /registry/aliases/demo-production` → `GET /registry/runs/{run_id}`, confirm `artifact_uri` matches one of the V1 (`demo/{model_type}-model_{KEY}.joblib`) or V2 (`artifacts/models/model_{KEY}.joblib`) shapes, then either re-run the showcase (the next `register` step rewrites the artifact_uri) or extend `_ARTIFACT_KEY_RE` if a new shape is intentional. +18. **`scenario_simulate_and_save` step fails with `Cannot parse artifact-key from artifact_uri` (PRP-40, `showcase_rich` only)** — FIXED in #324. The cascade had two root causes: `safer_promote_flow` (PRP-39) swapped the `demo-production` alias to a worse-WAPE run whose placeholder `artifact_uri` (`demo/safer-promote-placeholder.joblib`) the `_parse_artifact_key` regex (`r"model_([0-9a-f]+)(?:\.joblib)?$"`) could not match, and `scenario_simulate_and_save` then resolved that corrupted alias. The fix: the planning step now resolves the champion via `ctx.winning_run_id` (recorded by `register`, never touched by the swap) instead of the live alias, and `safer_promote_flow` writes a real-shape parseable `artifact_uri`. The orchestrator also runs an alias-restore safeguard (`_restore_demo_alias_after_failure`) on any mid-run failure so `demo-production` is never left on the worse-WAPE run. If you still hit this on a forked pipeline, the run's `artifact_uri` is irregular: confirm it matches one of the V1 (`demo/{model_type}-model_{KEY}.joblib`) or V2 (`artifacts/models/model_{KEY}.joblib`) shapes via `GET /registry/runs/{run_id}`, re-run the showcase (the next `register` step rewrites the artifact_uri), or extend `_ARTIFACT_KEY_RE` if a new shape is intentional. 19. **`multi_plan_compare` step shows ⚠️ with `holiday-plan save failed: ...; price-cut plan still saved` (PRP-40, `showcase_rich` only)** — the second `POST /scenarios` returned 4xx (most likely 422). The price-cut plan was still saved (partial success — R19), so the run keeps going green. Fix: read the RFC 7807 body in the detail; common causes are a horizon out of range or a malformed `holiday.dates` payload. Re-running the showcase regenerates both plans from scratch. 20. **`embedding_provider_probe` step shows ✅ but `reachable=False` (PRP-40, `showcase_rich` only)** — expected when no embedding provider is configured. The probe always emits PASS so the pipeline still greens; downstream `rag_index_subset` and `rag_retrieve_probe` will emit ⏭️ skip with `detail="embedding provider unreachable"`. Fix only if you want the knowledge phase to run: set `OPENAI_API_KEY` (when `RAG_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=openai`) or start Ollama on `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` (when `RAG_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=ollama`), then re-run. 21. **`rag_index_subset` step fails with `path_prefix escapes the project root` (PRP-40, `showcase_rich` only)** — the demo step hard-codes `path_prefix="docs/user-guide"`, so a real-world hit means `RAGService._base_dir` no longer points at the repo root (e.g. a misconfigured container start). Fix: confirm the backend was started from the repo root (or that `RAGService(base_dir=...)` was constructed with the right path); rerun the showcase.

It should show horizon bucket metrics, register a winner, compare +V1 and V2 runs, create a stale-alias condition, and exercise the safer-promote +path. + +Inspect links should lead to Run Detail, Run Compare, or Ops surfaces, +depending on the step. + +### Portfolio + +Expected step: + +- `batch_preset` + +This step submits a small batch sweep over a limited store/product/model +matrix.

If indexing succeeds, open `/knowledge` and verify that the +user-guide corpus and search behavior are visible. + +### Verify + +Expected step: + +- `verify` + +This step checks the registered artifact when the artifact root is compatible. +For V2 winners, a skip can be expected because the V2 model uses the full +`artifacts/models/...` path while registry verification resolves under a +different root. + +### Agents + +Expected step: + +- `agent_hitl_flow` + +When the required LLM key is available, the pipeline opens an agent session +and asks the agent to trigger a `save_scenario` tool call. The step card can +show an approval state and a one-click **Approve** button. + +Expected behavior: + +- Missing API key: skip, not fail. +- Approval shown: clicking **Approve** should advance the step. +- Double approval: a backend 4xx after the frontend pre-approves should be + absorbed, not surfaced as a user-visible failure. +- Timeout: skip with a clear timeout message. + +Open `/chat` to inspect the transcript when the HITL flow runs. + +### Ops + +Expected step: + +- `ops_snapshot` + +The Ops phase calls: + +- `/ops/summary` +- `/ops/retraining-candidates?limit=5` +- `/ops/model-health?limit=5` + +The step should show a compact snapshot of stale aliases, retraining queue, +total runs, total aliases, and degrading-health grains.
