#3364ops: service v0.80.31 lags latest v0.80.35 — Nvidia ResourceExhausted fix undeployed2026-06-29T21:13Z

Issue #3364 was the third successive ops issue filed for service deployment lag. The root cause remains unchanged: the operator has not run brew upgrade orch && brew services restart orch. The fix (#3362, Nvidia ResourceExhausted classified as rate limit) shipped in v0.80.35 but the running service is still v0.80.31.

Throughput remained strong — 42 PRs created and 43 review decisions with only 7 errors and 1 reroute against 87 dispatches. The single reroute was the router correctly falling back from cooled minimax to claude:sonnet for this review task.

Notable trends vs. yesterday:

  • Kimi/opus grew from 10 → 15 successes — a significant increase, suggesting kimi took on more complex tasks today
  • opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free had 3 failures (up from 1 yesterday) — all Nvidia ResourceExhausted, the exact error targeted by the undeployed fix in v0.80.35
  • codex/gpt-5.4 dropped from 10 → 4 successes; codex/gpt-5.5 appeared with both a success and a failure
  • opencode/north-mini-code-free recorded its first parse_error outcome

What Went Well

  1. Extremely low reroute rate. Only 1 reroute in 87 dispatches — the router/fallback chain ran cleanly all day.
  2. Kimi stepped up. 15 successful kimi/opus completions indicates the kimi agent is healthy and taking on a meaningful share of complex tasks.
  3. Engine stability. Sync ticks running consistently at 1.7–3s elapsed; only occasional spikes to 15–28s due to transient GitHub HTTP failures (which retry and recover without human intervention).
  4. Routing fallback worked correctly. The LLM router selected the cooled minimax agent for this daily review task, immediately detected it as cooled, and fell back to claude:sonnet — exactly the intended path.

What Failed

1. Service still running v0.80.31 (upgrade to v0.80.35 pending)

This is the third consecutive day this issue has been filed (ops #3358, #3360, #3364). The service continues on v0.80.31 while v0.80.35 includes:

  • fix(runner): detect Nvidia ResourceExhausted as rate limit (#3362 / v0.80.34)
  • fix(sync): edge-trigger stale model-pool alert log (#3357 / v0.80.32)

The stale model-pool alert noise from minimax will persist until the service is upgraded.

Operator action required:

brew update && brew upgrade orch
brew services restart orch
orch -V   # should show 0.80.35

2. opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free — 3 failures from Nvidia ResourceExhausted

All three failures today were Nvidia ResourceExhausted (worker local total request limit). Without the v0.80.35 fix deployed, these are classified as generic AgentFailed rather than RateLimit, causing short agent-level backoff (5 min) instead of a proper model-level cooldown. The result is repeated retries every few hours.

This will self-correct once the service is upgraded.

3. opencode/north-mini-code-free — one parse_error

A single parse_error outcome for north-mini-code-free. This is a known intermittent failure mode for review sessions (documented in the skill notes, fixed for parse errors that trigger cooldown in v0.80.17). One occurrence is not a pattern; monitor for recurrence.

4. kimi/opus — one failure

A single kimi/opus failure. No escalation to cooldown. Likely transient; failure count should be near 0 in KV. No action needed.

5. minimax:opus — long cooldown continues

Current active cooldowns:

minimax:opus    2d10h remaining    (persisted)

This is a continuation from previous days. The router is correctly skipping minimax. No new action needed until the cooldown expires in ~2.5 days.


Routing Accuracy

Routing was accurate. No mis-routing patterns or silent model failures observed. The LLM selected a cooled agent (minimax) for a task — the pre-emptive cooldown guard caught it and rerouted to claude:sonnet immediately. This is working as designed.

The kimi/haiku router was used for routing decisions (confirmed in logs) — the router itself is functioning cleanly.


Stuck / Pending Work

Only internal:154498 (this daily review) and internal:154499 (evening retrospective) are currently in progress. No stuck or blocked tasks observed in the orch-internal task set at review time.


Open Issues

Open issues in gabrielkoerich/orch at review time: 0.

No new issues warranted from this review. The deployment lag driving the nemotron failures is an operator action item, not a code bug. The parse_error and transient failures are below the threshold for issue creation.


Priorities for Tomorrow

  1. Upgrade the running service to v0.80.35. This is the highest-leverage available action — delivers the Nvidia ResourceExhausted rate-limit classification and the stale model-pool alert edge-trigger fix in one step. Has been pending for multiple days; nemotron will keep failing until this is done.
    brew update && brew upgrade orch
    brew services restart orch
    orch -V   # verify 0.80.35
  2. Confirm nemotron failures stop post-upgrade. After the upgrade, opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free should get model-specific cooldowns on ResourceExhausted instead of short agent-level backoff. If failures recur post-upgrade, that is a new regression to investigate.
  3. Watch minimax:opus cooldown expiry (~2.5 days). When it clears, the first new dispatch will determine if minimax has recovered or if a deeper outage persists.
  4. Monitor north-mini-code-free parse_error rate. One occurrence is noise; two in the same window would warrant a closer look at the parse path for that model's review output format.
  5. Watch codex/gpt-5.5. Mixed success/failure today (1 each). If failures grow, verify whether the error is a new model-unavailability variant needing classifier coverage.
