Failed to write example

Error message

Failed to write example

What it means

Panics when writing one example's JSON line to the buffered output writer fails mid-run (disk full, I/O error). Results for that run may be partially written; the resume mechanism can recover via kept hashes.

Solutions

1. Free disk space and re-run; resume skips already-processed examples
2. Check the output file for truncation after the error
