Prod Incident: PresidentialMessaging Module Throws Unhandled Exception on Holiday

$

SUMMARY

------------------------

Anomaly detected: POTUS.statement() method called with unexpected `insult` parameter during holiday, triggering massie.reply() and global conflict resolution attempts.

$

DETAILS

========================================

1. Reproduction Steps

To observe this incident, execute the following command:

$ debugpost run reality.timeline --event="2025-12-25_Christmas" --verbosity=critical --user="DJT"

Alternatively, the `holiday-messaging` deployment appears to have triggered a cascading failure:

$ git checkout production
$ npm install @donald-j-trump/holiday-messaging
$ npm run deploy-public-statement -- --message="Merry Christmas to all, except..." --target-user="Massie"

[LOGS] 2. Runtime Logs

The system initiated standard holiday greetings, but rapidly degraded into an error state.

[TRACE] 3. Stack Trace (Mandatory)

An unexpected exception occurred during holiday messaging, indicating a fundamental flaw in the `LeaderBehaviour` module.
UnhandledSystemException: RealityInvariantViolation: Expected `LeaderBehaviour.MaintainPartyCohesion()` failed during `HolidayMessagingContext`.

4. Post-Mortem Notes

  • REGRESSION: PresidentialMessagingService reverted to pre-holiday error state; deployed ad hominem attack on co-partisan.
  • KNOWN ISSUE: PoliticalUnityModule consistently fails assertion(true) when HolidayMessagingContext is active.
  • WORKAROUND: RepMassie.response() module successfully mocked the initial PublicStatementService error, mitigating some reputation_damage.
  • FIXED: (false positive) GlobalConflictResolutionModule scheduled new summits, despite previous end_war failures, suggesting an attempt to reset failure_state.
  • TODO: Investigate why CountryBeforeParty logic caused a lowlife_republican flag.
  • DEBUG: 4D Chess subroutine observed, but actual strategic outcome currently undefined.
