I was just reading up on some stuff.

The Rulebook has a section about 'failing a mission attempt'.

I thought a mission attempt ends when there is no matching personnel for the mission.

Has that changed?
Yes, apparently awhile ago, which I just learned to my chagrin.

Attemptability (which includes matching affiliation and condition checks like Homefront and Quantum Torpedo) is currently checked at the start of the attempt and at solve time.

The Rulebook makes it clear that you check matching affiliation and other conditions at the start, but currently it is missing text to make it clear that you also check when solving. That was pointed out a couple months ago and the clarifying text is ready to go, coming out Monday.

But the rule is that you need a matching affiliation + must meet conditions like Homefront's 4 SECURITY at the start of the attempt and when you try to solve.

You can mostly thank the Disgraceful Assault + Quantum Torpedo combo for the rule change, although the old rule had enough messiness in it that something was eventually going to break it.

Correct?
Correct. When no dilemmas are left, you try to solve. You check to see whether you still have at least one matching personnel and the mission requirements. If you do not, the mission attempt ends.

(Enabran is correct that something else, such as running out of personnel; a dilemma being reseeded; or something like Buried Alive ending the attempt immediately, could end the attempt before that.)
