Description

Sheriffs care only about the analysis. The fix is for developers. This can help reduce latency; see #6662. We don't run the build for the fix now to reduce runtime, so this would allow us to speed up the delivery of the analysis and verify the fix properly. It likely depends on the ability of the platform to support multi-stage workflows. See #6667

Research direction

Start by reading the related issues #6662 and #6667, then trace the Test Repair Agent workflow and the platform's support for multi-stage workflows. Define separate analysis and fix stages, with the fix independently verifiable through a build or equivalent check, and confirm that analysis can be delivered without waiting for the fix.
