A failing run followed by a passing run with a different sourceDigest is host evidence that the source changed between them; use their output excerpts to judge why the failing run failed. Rafi does not retain per-edit history or full Builder transcripts. Assess historical test-first, ordering and execution-history checks from these host observations; if they remain insufficient, record that limitation in the check evidence.
