 name: "Show agent logs for a story in expanded work item"
+merge_failure: "Merge pipeline infrastructure failure: The squash merge onto merge-queue branch succeeded cleanly (no conflicts, 2 files changed, 457 insertions). However, quality gates failed because the merge_workspace directory is incomplete — 'pnpm run build' failed with 'No package.json found in .story_kit/merge_workspace/frontend' and 'cargo test' failed with 'manifest path .story_kit/merge_workspace/Cargo.toml does not exist'. This is the same infrastructure issue that affected story 237. The merge-queue branch has the correct squashed commit but the workspace used for running gates doesn't contain the full project tree. Master is untouched."
