Failed Tests

Test	Error
[scorecard] Aggregated scorecard (GitHub): info tooltips, drill-down, table UI	expect(locator).toBeVisible() failed - getByTestId('scorecard-homepage-card-github.open_prs').getByText('Ideal', { exact: true }) not found; card shows "0 entities" and "No data found"
[scorecard] (retry1) Same test	page.waitForEvent: Timeout 10000ms exceeded while waiting for event "popup" - RHDH pod down ("Application is not available")

Root Cause

Infrastructure timing issue caused by a pod restart:

1. The RHDH pod started and the github.open_prs scheduled task was registered with a 5s initial delay
2. At 04:55:08, the first pull completed with 0 entities because the catalog hadn't finished processing entities yet
3. At 04:56:14, the liveness probe failed with context deadline exceeded and the pod was killed
4. The new pod started at 04:56:58 and registered the task again, but the scheduled pull never completed before the test ran at ~04:59:51
5. The test saw "0 entities" / "No data found" for the GitHub open PRs card because metrics were never populated
6. On retry, the pod was again restarting (due to another liveness failure), showing "Application is not available"

The Jira metrics (jira.open_issues) processed 4 entities successfully at 05:00:11, and OpenSSF metrics processed 2 entities each. The github.open_prs task simply didn't execute a pull cycle in the new pod before the test ran.

Remediation

This is a transient infrastructure issue. The test already has retries: 1 configured, but the retry failed because the pod restart cascaded into a longer outage. No code fix needed — the 2-minute stabilization wait in beforeAll is already in place. The pod restart was caused by a transient liveness probe timeout, not a systematic issue.
