Claude Code for Continuous Integration

Your CI pipeline uses an executor model with the advisor tool enabled for code change validation tasks. Post-deployment monitoring shows that in roughly 30% of runs, the pipeline produces no artifacts — the executor either wrote no files or left changes uncommitted before the advisor call timed out or the session ended. Logs confirm the executor is calling the advisor at task completion as intended, but the work is being lost. What architectural fix most directly eliminates this failure mode?

A. Add a system prompt instruction telling the executor to retry the advisor call if no response is received within a defined timeout window, ensuring advice is eventually received before the pipeline continues.

B. Restructure the executor system prompt so that the completion-check advisor call is made before writing files, giving the advisor a chance to approve the overall approach before any changes are persisted to disk.

C. Restructure the executor system prompt so that deliverables are written, saved, and committed before the completion-check advisor call, ensuring durable artifacts exist before any session-ending latency occurs.

D. Increase the session timeout threshold in the CI environment so that long-running advisor inference passes have sufficient time to complete before the pipeline is terminated by the orchestration layer.
