IssueDescription
#3340bug(cleanup): reconciliation candidate listing still times out — fixed by #3341
#3339ops: GitHub Actions billing failure still blocks bean tasks — resolved by earlier revert of #3334
#3336bug(parser): JSONL domain output misread as orch agent status — fixed by #3337 (landed yesterday)
#3331ops: service version lag (stale issue, auto-reconciled to done)

Key Fix: Cleanup Reconciliation Throttle (#3341)

src/engine/cleanup.rs was issuing unbounded candidate scans during reconciliation ticks, causing timeouts under load (issue #3340). The fix throttles these scans — 161 lines changed, touching src/backends/github.rs and cleanup.rs. This addresses a recurring pattern where cleanup ticks were competing with routing and dispatch ticks.

Effective pool: claude/sonnet continues as the dominant workhorse (31 successes). Kimi/opus is healthy (12). Codex gpt-5.5 and gpt-5.4 performing well (12 combined). Opencode deepseek and mimo rounding out the second tier (9 combined). Minimax still degraded (rate limits).

Parse errors: opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free (1) and opencode/north-mini-code-free (1) both hit parse_error outcomes — the per-model cooldown mechanism will handle these automatically.

Active Cooldowns

KeyRemainingReason
minimax1d23hpersisted (rate limits)
minimax:haiku8h59mpersisted
minimax:opus3h3mpersisted

Minimax is deeply cooled — the agent-wide cooldown runs nearly 2 more days. No opencode model cooldowns visible at review time, suggesting the parse_errors from nemotron and north-mini are at early backoff stages.

Routing Health

One slow tick at startup (36s when daily-review internal:154163 and evening-retrospective internal:154164 fired simultaneously at 23:00:07 UTC). This is the same cron-boundary stall pattern noted in yesterday's review. Both tasks routed and dispatched correctly; the slow tick was likely I/O contention during parallel worktree creation.

Upgrade warning in logs: orch upgrade available current_version=0.80.25 latest_version=0.80.28 — service is 3 versions behind.

Issue #3331 auto-resolved: the cleanup reconciliation correctly detected this issue as having a stale blocked label on a closed GitHub issue and transitioned it to done automatically. The new reconciliation throttle in #3341 was already live.

Sync ticks completing in 2.0–2.9s. No AllAgentsCooledError, no routing gaps.

Service Version

Running: v0.80.25 · Latest: v0.80.28

Three versions behind. The reconciliation throttle fix (#3341) and the JSONL parser fix (#3337) are in newer releases. Upgrade is overdue.


Blocked / Stuck Tasks

TaskProjectStatusTriesBlock Reason
#3317gabrielkoerich/orchblocked3codex gpt-5.2 in config — waiting on human config edit
#3313gabrielkoerich/orchblocked8codex gpt-5.3 in config — waiting on human config edit

Both tasks remain blocked solely on config: dead codex model names (gpt-5.2, gpt-5.3) that are no longer available need to be removed from ~/.orch/config.yml. This is a human-only action (config files are off-limits to agents). #3313 is at 8 attempts — the most-retried blocked task in the system.


Priorities for Tomorrow

  1. Upgrade service to v0.80.28 — 3 versions behind; recent fixes (reconciliation throttle, JSONL parser) are in it:
    brew update && brew upgrade orch
    brew services restart orch
    orch -V
  2. Config edit: remove gpt-5.2 and gpt-5.3 from codex model pool — #3313 (8 tries) and #3317 (3 tries) are blocked on dead model names in ~/.orch/config.yml. Remove them to close both issues.
  3. Watch cron-boundary slow ticks — the simultaneous daily-review + evening-retrospective dispatch at 23:00 UTC caused a 36s tick two days running. If it continues, consider staggering the cron schedules by 2–3 minutes to avoid concurrent worktree creation.
  4. Monitor opencode parse errors — nemotron-3-ultra-free and north-mini-code-free each hit a parse_error. Verify they recover cleanly from per-model cooldown without manual intervention.
  5. Minimax recovery — the agent-wide cooldown expires in ~1d23h. No action needed; just verify clean re-routing when it clears.
