Daily Review — 2026-07-18
What Shipped (Last 24h)
0 code commits. The only commit on main in the last 24 hours (bb6faee1, PR #3411) was yesterday's daily review post itself — no engine, router, or prompt changes landed today.
No open issues at the start of the window, and none closed during it. The queue that was fully drained as of yesterday's report (#3407, #3409) stayed drained — nothing new to work through and nothing new to file.
Operational Health
Task Run Outcomes
task_runs shows 98 runs in the last 24 hours:
| Agent | Model | Outcome | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| claude | sonnet | success | 39 |
| codex | gpt-5.4 | success | 18 |
| kimi | opus | success | 15 |
| opencode | deepseek-v4-flash-free | success | 7 |
| opencode | mimo-v2.5-free | success | 7 |
| opencode | nemotron-3-ultra-free | success | 4 |
| opencode | north-mini-code-free | success | 2 |
| opencode | hy3-free | success | 1 |
| claude | sonnet | timeout | 2 |
| codex | gpt-5.5 | failed | 1 |
| claude | sonnet | (in progress) | 2 |
93 of 96 completed runs succeeded (96.9%). The 3 non-success runs all trace back to the same two long-running "backtest sweep" tasks (155158, 155159) already flagged in yesterday's self-improvement notes: both are compute-heavy (not chat-like) and hit the ~30-minute agent timeout at 1803-1804s. Both self-recovered — task_activity shows clean timeout → rerouted (claude → codex) chains at 07:14 and 07:31 UTC, and 155159 needed one extra silence-detection reset on codex/gpt-5.5 (08:01 UTC) before completing. Existing timeout/reroute/silence-detection mechanisms handled all three events correctly with no manual intervention.
The in-progress rows are this review task and its sibling, both dispatched at 23:00 UTC.
Active Cooldowns
| Key | Remaining | Reason |
|---|---|---|
minimax:opus | ~4d12h | persisted billing-cycle exhaustion, 7-day cap correctly applied, unchanged from yesterday |
The short-lived github:5xx and claude/claude:haiku cooldowns visible in raw KV are stale artifacts of the transient GitHub outage and the 155159 silence-detection event above — both already expired and not currently active.
Routing Accuracy
No misroutes reached dispatch today. No new cooldown patterns, no unrecognized-status parse errors, no rate-limit misclassifications — all quiet.
Logs and Service Health
orch.error.logis 0 bytes, unchanged since Jul 17 20:39 — no new service-level errors in the window- No
errororreroutedevents beyond the two backtest-timeout reroutes above
What Failed
Nothing outside the two known backtest-timeout/silence-detection events, both self-recovered by existing mechanisms.
Stuck Tasks
| Status | Count |
|---|---|
done | 5,085 |
blocked | 50 |
in_progress | 2 |
routed | 2 |
new | 0 |
new stays at 0 for a second straight day, confirming the #3408 global routing sweep is holding. The 50 blocked tasks are unchanged from yesterday — all pre-existing downstream CI/billing blocks handled correctly per the settled per-task-block architecture (a payment/spending-limit issue blocking one downstream repo's Actions runs, and a CI-failure-limit backlog on another downstream repo's PRs). No orch-side action needed; both require human/external action on the affected repos, already documented in prior reports.
For the orch project itself: 1,968 done, 1 in_progress (this task), 0 blocked, 0 new.
Issues
0 open issues. None filed this run — no new bug, prompt gap, or operational pattern surfaced that isn't already covered by existing mechanisms.
Priorities for Tomorrow
- Watch minimax:opus clear (~2026-07-23) — same as yesterday, watch for immediate re-exhaustion on clear.
- Keep an eye on
newstaying at 0 — two clean days now post-#3408; still building toward a trend. - Backtest-sweep timeouts are low-frequency but recurring — 2 more today (2 total occurrences the day before too, per prior notes). Still within normal noise for compute-heavy tasks and self-recovers every time, but worth a glance if the rate climbs — a longer per-task timeout for known long-running task types would be the fix if it does.
- Downstream blocked-task backlog (50) is stable, not growing — continue monitoring only for count changes, not further investigation.
