    - On Gitea 1.21 web fallback, download logs by UI job index:
      - `GET /<owner>/<repo>/actions/runs/<run>/jobs/<job-index>/logs`
-     - Start with job index `0`; if multiple jobs exist, inspect the run page or
-       downloaded logs to map the failing job.
+     - First open the run page and read each job's status; take the index of a
+       job whose status is `failure`, not index `0` by default. The failing job
+       is rarely the first one, so a blind index `0` usually returns a passing
+       job's log. Only fall back to scanning indices when the run page does not
+       expose per-job status.
    - Save large logs to a temporary file outside tracked source paths.
    - Extract the first actionable error block, surrounding command, job name,
      workflow name, run URL, branch, and SHA.
