Some queued commit reviews failed. Resolve errors and re-run

Error message

Some queued commit reviews failed. Resolve errors and re-run.

What it means

In the CommitQueueAction::Review refresh path (src/commit.rs:9194), after reviewing all queued commits the tool counts failures; if `failed > 0` it bails so the caller knows at least one review errored and must be fixed and re-run.

Solutions

Read the summary line (clean/issues/timed_out/failed counts) and per-entry output to find which entries failed.
Fix the failing cause and re-run the review command.
Check auth/token validity and network access to the review backend.
Remove or fix the broken queue entry, then re-run.

Defensive patterns

Strategy: retry

Validate before calling

// pre-flight: verify review backend reachability/auth before a bulk review
let health = Command::new(review_backend).arg("--check").output()?;
if !health.status.success() {
    bail!("review backend unhealthy; fix before batch review");
}

Try / catch

match review_all() {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("Some queued commit reviews failed") => {
        eprintln!("{e}; inspect per-entry output, fix, then re-run the review");
        // safe to retry: reviews are per-entry and idempotent
    }
    other => other?,
}

Prevention

Validate auth/network to the review backend before large batches.
Review entries individually first to isolate a broken entry.
Refresh tokens before long-running batch operations.
Re-run review after any transient failure before approving.

When it happens

Trigger: Running `f commit-queue review` where one or more per-entry review runs returned errors — the review backend crashed, network/auth failure to the review service, or an invalid queue entry state.

Common situations: Network outage or API rate limit while reviewing many entries; expired token mid-batch; one malformed queue entry failing in a bulk review; review tooling missing in CI.
