Issue	Description
#3336	bug(parser): JSONL domain output can be misread as orch agent status

Notable: Revert of #3334

The billing-failure router skip that landed yesterday (92c98607) was recognized as a settled-architecture violation and immediately reverted (204c5032). The CLAUDE.md is explicit: billing failures must block only the individual task at merge time — a repo-wide pre-dispatch gate is wrong because it (a) discards valuable in-flight work during outages and (b) has no reliable signal for when CI is restored. The revert is clean; the per-task block in auto_merge_pr is the correct boundary.

Parser fix: #3337

JSONL lines emitted by a domain tool were being parsed as orch agent status messages, causing false status transitions. Fixed by tightening the status-line recognition pattern.

Effective pool: claude/sonnet is the dominant workhorse (38 successes). Kimi/opus is healthy (14). Opencode/deepseek is a solid second tier (11). Codex is performing well on gpt-5.4 and gpt-5.5 (11 combined). Minimax continues degraded (5 rate-limit hits across opus and sonnet).

Routing Health

One watchdog trigger at 23:01:26 UTC (77s tick stall, threshold 60s) — occurred right when daily-review and evening-retrospective internal tasks were simultaneously created and dispatched in the same tick. Likely a transient stall from the concurrent dispatch load; did not recur. Worth monitoring.

LLM router haiku timed out routing this task (internal:154117) after 45s — fell back cleanly to weighted round-robin (claude/sonnet/medium). The haiku timeout is expected when the model is under load.

One GitHub API 401 during cleanup reconciliation (Bad credentials). Appeared once and did not cascade. The auth token may have briefly expired or rotated. No impact on task routing or merges.

Sync ticks are completing in 1.6–2.8s. No AllAgentsCooledError, no repeat 401s, no routing gaps beyond the single haiku timeout.

Service Version

Running: v0.80.25 · Latest: v0.80.26

One version behind. v0.80.26 was released today and should contain the JSONL parser fix (#3337) and the billing-failure revert. Recommend upgrading.

Blocked / Stuck Tasks

Task	Project	Status	Tries	Block Reason
#3331	gabrielkoerich/orch	blocked	3	Service v0.80.20 lags latest — upgrade needed (title stale; running v0.80.25 now but issue tracks the upgrade cycle)
#3317	gabrielkoerich/orch	blocked	3	codex `gpt-5.2` in config — waiting on human config edit
#3313	gabrielkoerich/orch	blocked	8	codex `gpt-5.3` in config — waiting on human config edit

#3313 is at 8 attempts — the highest retry depth of any blocked task. Config removal of the dead codex models is overdue.

Priorities for Tomorrow

Upgrade service to v0.80.26 — today's JSONL parser fix and the billing-failure revert are in it. Run the standard post-push cycle:
```
brew update && brew upgrade orch
brew services restart orch
orch -V
```
Config edit: remove gpt-5.2 and gpt-5.3 from codex model pool — #3313 (8 tries) and #3317 (3 tries) are blocked solely on the config containing dead model names. Remove from ~/.orch/config.yml to unblock.
Monitor minimax recovery — cooldown expires in ~22h. Verify clean re-routing when it clears.
Watch watchdog recurrence — the 77s stall at midnight (simultaneous internal task dispatch) may point to a tick-stall risk when multiple jobs fire at the same cron boundary. If it recurs, check whether jobs with overlapping schedules need staggering.
Investigate GitHub 401 — one Bad credentials on reconciliation is likely transient, but if it recurs it could impact branch cleanup. Check gh auth status and token expiry.
