+---
+
+# Diagnosing vLLM Buildkite CI Failures
+
+Buildkite logs are public; no login needed.
+
+`.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh` saves each log as `ci-<build>-<job-name>.log`, stripped of timestamps and ANSI codes. Existing files are kept; set `CI_FETCH_LOG_FORCE=1` to refetch.
+
+## Fetching logs
+
+```bash
+# All failed jobs in a PR's latest build (current branch's PR if omitted):
+.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh --pr <PR>
+
+# All failed jobs in a build (--soft also includes soft-failed jobs;
+# --all fetches every finished job):
+.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh "https://buildkite.com/vllm/ci/builds/<N>"
+
+# One job — `gh pr checks` URLs (#<job_uuid>) and web UI URLs (?sid=) both
+# work; pass "-" as a second argument to stream to stdout:
+.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh "https://buildkite.com/vllm/ci/builds/<N>#<job_uuid>"
+```
+
+To clean an already-downloaded log with `.buildkite/scripts/ci-clean-log.sh`:
+
+```bash
+./ci-clean-log.sh ci.log
+```

+- **Design before you write.** Answer four questions first: what is the module

+  the cheapest level that catches it (unit over integration over e2e)?
+- **Reuse before create.** Extend existing test files, `conftest.py` fixtures, and
+  helpers; add a new file only when no nearby suite fits.
+- **Test behavior with intent.** Assert observable outcomes through public APIs;
+  state why in the name or docstring. Skip trivial wiring; flaky tests are worse
+  than no tests.
+- **Keep it minimal.** One behavior per test and the smallest setup that
+  triggers it; if the test diff dwarfs the code change, cut scope.
+- **No one-off kernel benchmarks in `tests/`.** Put kernel perf work in
+  `benchmarks/kernels/`; prove correctness in existing pytest suites.
+- **Run model evals for model-affecting changes.** Search `tests/evals/` or use
+  `vllm bench` and include results in the PR — do not wait for reviewers to ask.

-### Diagnosing CI failures
-
-Buildkite logs are public; no login needed. Details: [docs/contributing/ci/failures.md](docs/contributing/ci/failures.md).
-
-```bash
-# All failed-job logs for a PR's latest build (current branch's PR if omitted):
-.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh --pr <PR>
-# Any Buildkite build or job URL also works:
-.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh "<buildkite_url>"
