What Shipped (Last 24h)

2 commits landed in the last 24 hours.

Notable fix: PR #3369 corrects a gap in the failure recording path. The record_review_agent_failure catch-all branch (which handles all AgentFailed errors not matched by more specific arms) was not calling record_agent_failure(), so the model was immediately re-selected after an AgentFailed error instead of entering exponential backoff. The fix ensures the generic backoff system applies uniformly — no special-casing.

Operational Health

Throughput (Last 24h)

Throughput is up solidly from yesterday (83 dispatches vs 66, 39 PRs vs 31, 41 review decisions vs 32). Errors also rose from 8 → 14, driven primarily by claude/sonnet failures.

Agent / Model Outcomes (Last 24h)

Notable trend: claude/sonnet failures are escalating — 0 on 6/28, 3 on 6/29, 5 today. Also hit rate_limit once and push_failed once. Still no cooldown triggered (failure count below threshold), but this is approaching the threshold. The PR #3369 fix means future AgentFailed errors through the catch-all will now correctly accumulate failure counts and trigger cooldown.

codex/gpt-5.4 recovered well: 8 successes today (vs 1 yesterday). kimi/opus maintained 10 successes despite a rate_limit hit.

What Went Well

1. High throughput day. 83 dispatches, 39 PRs created, 41 review decisions — best numbers in several days.
2. codex/gpt-5.4 recovered. 8 successes after near-zero yesterday. Weight decay had not fully suppressed it.
3. Routing fallback worked. This review task (internal:154569) had the LLM router select cooled minimax → fallback to claude:sonnet executed cleanly in the same tick.
4. PR #3369 landed. The catch-all gap in record_review_agent_failure is fixed. Failure backoff is now complete for all AgentFailed error variants.
5. Sync tick performance. Ticks stable at 1.8–3.9ms. No circuit breaker events today.

What Failed

1. claude/sonnet — 5 failures + 1 rate_limit + 1 push_failed

Third consecutive day of escalating claude/sonnet failures (0 → 3 → 5). The rate_limit hit suggests billing or quota pressure rather than model-level issues. Push_failed is a separate Git/GitHub failure (not model-related).

The PR #3369 fix closes the gap: going forward, AgentFailed errors through the catch-all will accumulate failure counts. If failures continue tomorrow, a cooldown will be triggered and the router will shift load to kimi or codex.

No issue filed — this is a known escalation to monitor. If failures continue past day 4, investigate the specific error variant being emitted.

2. Service still running v0.80.31 — 5 versions behind (now 5+ days)

Fifth consecutive day. The service logs confirm: orch upgrade available current_version=0.80.31 latest_version=0.80.36. The ResourceExhausted fix for opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free shipped in v0.80.34 and remains undeployed.

Operator action required:

brew update && brew upgrade orch
brew services restart orch
orch -V

3. opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free — 2 failures + 1 parse_error

Continues to fail as expected. The fix is in v0.80.34 (already shipped), waiting on operator to deploy.

4. opencode/north-mini-code-free — 1 parse_error

One parse_error today (vs 2 yesterday). Trend unclear — could be noise. Third data point: 1 on 6/29, 2 on 6/30, 1 today. No pattern strong enough to file an issue.

5. Multiple tasks blocked — GitHub Actions billing failure

5 tasks remain blocked at merge time due to GitHub Actions billing failure. These are at the correct granularity (per-task at merge time). Resolving requires fixing billing, then orch task unblock all.

6. Multiple tasks blocked — CI failure limit

13+ tasks blocked with "CI failure limit (3) reached during auto-merge." Long-standing, not from today's work.

Routing Accuracy

Routing was accurate. The LLM selected minimax for this review task — which is on cooldown — and the fallback system correctly rerouted to claude:sonnet within the same tick. No wasted dispatch.

kimi is on a long cooldown (2d15h remaining), which explains why kimi:haiku failed a pool-entry check for the evening-retrospective routing. The kimi:haiku sub-key cooldown (44m) is a short rate-limit cooldown layered on top of the agent-level cooldown — the generic system is handling it.

Active Cooldowns

Kimi agent-level cooldown is new since yesterday (only minimax:opus was listed then). This is a significant routing impact: kimi had been the second-highest-throughput agent (10 successes today) but will be fully unavailable for the next ~2.5 days.

Stuck / Pending Tasks

• internal:154570 (evening retrospective): in progress as of log time
• 5 tasks blocked by GitHub Actions billing failure
• 13+ tasks blocked by CI failure limit

Open Issues

No open issues (confirmed: gh issue list --state open returned none).

Closed today:

• #3368: ops: service stuck at v0.80.31 for 7 days (closed)
• #3367: bug(review): record_review_agent_failure catch-all fix (closed — PR #3369 merged)
• #3364: ops: service v0.80.31 lags v0.80.35 (closed)
• #3361: bug(review): OpenCode Nvidia ResourceExhausted review failure (closed)

Priorities for Tomorrow

1. Upgrade the running service to v0.80.36. Five consecutive days of deferrals. The ResourceExhausted fix for opencode/nemotron is waiting on this.

   brew update && brew upgrade orch
   brew services restart orch
   orch -V

2. Monitor claude/sonnet failures. Day 4 could trigger cooldown (depending on failure count threshold). If a cooldown fires, note whether codex/gpt-5.4 absorbs the load cleanly. If failures continue without cooldown triggering, extract the error variant and assess.
3. Watch kimi cooldown. With kimi out for 2.5+ days, load shifts to claude and codex. Confirm codex/gpt-5.4 sustains throughput tomorrow.
4. Resolve GitHub Actions billing failure so 5 blocked tasks can be unblocked.
5. Monitor minimax cooldown (~10h remaining). When it clears, first dispatch will verify recovery.
