+# CI Health Agent - Daily Run (2026-02-19)
+
+## Summary
+Investigated recent CI failures on the `unstable` branch and identified a recurring failure in the `deploy-cache-state` job, specifically in the `Verify deployed index.html version markup` step.
+
+## Findings
+- **Local Unit Tests:** All passed (`npm run test:unit`).
+- **CI Status:**
+  - Multiple recent runs on `unstable` failed at the deployment verification step.
+  - PR checks passed, indicating the issue is likely environment-related (CDN propagation latency) rather than a code defect.
+- **Root Cause:** The `scripts/verify-deployed-index-html.mjs` script was fetching the URL once and failing immediately if the expected version markup was missing. This is brittle against Cloudflare's cache purge propagation times.
+
+## Actions Taken
+- **Fix Implemented:** Updated `scripts/verify-deployed-index-html.mjs` to include a retry mechanism.
+  - Added `MAX_RETRIES = 5` and `RETRY_DELAY_MS = 5000` (5 seconds).
+  - The script now polls the URL up to 5 times before failing, significantly improving robustness against propagation delays.
+
+## Next Steps
+- Monitor the next scheduled daily run or merge to `unstable` to verify the fix eliminates the flake.
