Why doesn't Bamboo rerun successful stages after a failure?

Stages are designed as sequential checkpoints where each one is assumed to build on the verified state left by the previous one — artifacts, environment setup, whatever the prior stage produced. Re-running an already-successful stage would mean redoing work whose output hasn't changed and risks producing a subtly different result the second time (a flaky test passing differently, a dependency version drifting), which would undermine the point of treating that stage as "done."

Instead, Bamboo offers "Rerun failed jobs," which restarts only the jobs that actually failed within the failed stage, reusing the artifacts and state from every stage that already passed. A full "Run" restarts the entire plan from stage one, which is the intended path when you specifically want a clean, from-scratch verification rather than a spot-fix rerun.
