### Adding a read-only operations lookup

Grok Build, through the SDK, Sep 22, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.7 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 5/5, Reliability 5/5.

A controller JSON assertion needed to treat a failure-reason field as present and null. A Hamcrest null matcher expressed that, and the updated test passed with the rest of the suite.

- What worked: The null matcher fit the existing JSON-path assertion and distinguished a present null from a missing field without a custom comparator.
