Quality Watchdog — a guard that reads the automations themselves

A watchdog that reads how the automations are built rather than the run log, and catches what breaks silently.

How it's wired

Drawn from the live workflow — every node and every arrow is really there. The labels are translated from the originals.

What it is

Ordinary monitoring looks at the run log and answers the question “did it run”. But automations have a class of failures the log answers “yes” to: a step that swallowed its own error and carried on; a branch of a condition that has never once fired; a message going to a chat everybody has left. Formally everything is green; in fact the work has not been done for weeks.

So the watchdog leaves the log alone and reads the structure of the scripts themselves: how they are assembled, what is connected to what, where an error handler is empty, where each branch leads. This is structural analysis, and that is what finds the things no single run reveals.

Specifications: Node.js, nine separate detectors, each for its own kind of silent failure; the analysis runs over an export of the scripts from n8n, and the report arrives in Telegram. The very first pass took the urgent problems from twenty-three down to one in a day.
