Strong throughput day — 91 dispatches and 48 PRs created. Error count rose from 1 to 6 (still low), and dispatch volume is well above the 07-08 comparison (59 dispatches).
Agent / Model Outcomes (full day)
| Agent | Model | Outcome | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| claude | sonnet | success | 50 |
| codex | gpt-5.4 | success | 20 |
| kimi | opus | success | 17 |
| opencode | north-mini-code-free | success | 6 |
| opencode | deepseek-v4-flash-free | success | 4 |
| opencode | mimo-v2.5-free | success | 2 |
| opencode | hy3-free | success | 1 |
| opencode | nemotron-3-ultra-free | success | 1 |
| claude | sonnet | failed | 1 |

| claude | sonnet | — | 1 |
| codex | gpt-5.4 | failed | 1 |
| opencode | deepseek-v4-flash-free | failed | 1 |
| opencode | nemotron-3-ultra-free | failed | 1 |
| opencode | north-mini-code-free | parse_error | 1 |
Headline: codex/gpt-5.4 delivered 20 successes — the strongest codex day after its extended cooldown cleared. Claude/sonnet leads with 50 successes. Kimi/opus holds at 17 (excellent third consecutive clean day).
Notable: a push_failed outcome appeared in claude/sonnet — distinct from a task failure (agent succeeded, push step failed). This is a new failure category observed; one instance, no cooldown triggered.
Active Cooldowns (end of day)
| Key | Remaining | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| minimax:opus | ~4d11h | Extended — LLM router keeps selecting, immediate fallback to claude |
| opencode:opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free | ~1d16h | New today — failure after morning success |
| opencode:opencode/north-mini-code-free | ~3h18m | New today — parse_error |
Two new model-level cooldowns emerged during the afternoon. north-mini-code-free clears tonight (~3h18m remaining); nemotron-3-ultra-free clears around July 13 (~1d16h remaining). Fallback routing is handling both cleanly. No agent-level cooldowns.
Blocked Inventory
Blocked count is roughly stable (~51). The CI-failure-limit set represents PRs from a downstream project with stale CI. The GitHub Actions billing failures are correctly scoped per-task.
Note: internal:154863 (previous daily review task) remains blocked at PR #3392 due to CI failure limit — the earlier daily review post is stale.
What Failed
1. opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free: failed after morning success
Had 1 success and 1 failure today. The failure triggered a ~40h cooldown (1d16h remaining). This was the nemotron recovery signal from this morning; it did not hold through the full day.
2. opencode/north-mini-code-free: parse_error
1 parse_error and 6 successes. The parse error triggered a short ~3h18m cooldown. Model is functioning normally for the majority of tasks; this appears to be a one-off parse failure.
3. codex/gpt-5.4: 1 failure
One failure amid 20 successes (95% success rate). No cooldown triggered — the generic failure threshold wasn't met. Likely a transient error; codex is routing cleanly.
4. claude/sonnet: push_failed (1 instance)
Agent completed successfully; the push step failed. This is a distinct failure mode from task failure. One instance — no cooldown, no repeated occurrence. Monitor for recurrence.
5. Watchdog stall + slow tick at dispatch
A 70s watchdog warning fired at 23:01:17Z when two internal tasks were dispatched simultaneously (two worktrees created + two tmux sessions started in the same tick). The tick completed at 63,379ms. No tasks were dropped or delayed. This is expected behavior under simultaneous multi-task dispatch; the watchdog threshold (60s) is conservative relative to actual dispatch time.
6. LLM router still selecting minimax (cooled)
Both this task and another internal task were routed to minimax by the LLM router and immediately re-routed to claude. The routing sanity warning fires on every internal task while minimax:opus remains cooled (~4.5 days remaining). Fallback is immediate and correct.
Routing Accuracy
No wrong complexity tier observed. Codex routing via gpt-5.4 is correct. The minimax LLM-router preference for complex tasks is inaccurate (model cooled), but the fallback to claude is immediate. No silent failures detected. The 2 routing sanity warnings are fully explained by the persistent minimax:opus cooldown.
Log Health
Service running v0.80.46. Brew error log is 0 bytes. Sync ticks completing in 1.5–2.5s. Cooldown KV sync in <1ms. Event-driven dispatch working correctly. No HTTP errors, no lock contention.
One watchdog warning (WATCHDOG: tick loop stall at 70s) — expected under simultaneous dual-dispatch, not a service health concern.
Open Issues
gh issue list --state open returned no open issues in gabrielkoerich/orch.
No new issues filed today. The nemotron/north-mini-code-free model-level cooldowns are handled by the generic system. The push_failed outcome on claude/sonnet warrants monitoring but is a single instance.
Priorities for Tomorrow
- Codex/gpt-5.4 on a 20-success day — watch for continuation; next failure from this model restarts backoff from base.
- north-mini-code-free cooldown clears in ~3h — should be back in rotation before midnight tonight; monitor parse_error recurrence.
- nemotron-3-ultra-free cooldown clears ~July 13 — not a concern for tomorrow; the model is unreliable (1 success, 1 failure today).
- minimax:opus cooldown runs ~4.5 more days (~expires 2026-07-16). Routing sanity warnings on complex internal tasks will continue. No action needed.
- CI-failure blocklist (~51) — run
orch task unblock allto drain; inspect any that immediately re-block. - internal:154863 blocked at PR #3392 — stale daily review PR. Close or merge manually; CI may never pass.
- push_failed category — watch for recurrence on claude/sonnet. If it appears again, investigate whether it's a git push timeout or a branch conflict.
