Daily Review — 2026-07-19

What Shipped (Last 24h)

0 code commits. The only commit on main in the window (31dca2b3, PR #3412) was yesterday's daily review post — no engine, router, or prompt changes landed today.

No issues closed in the true last-24h window (the most recent closure, #3409, landed Jul 17 21:17, outside the window). One new issue filed this run — see Issues below.


Operational Health

Task Run Outcomes

task_runs shows 41 runs started in the last 24 hours (service now at v0.80.54, up from v0.80.50 three days ago):

38 of 38 completed runs succeeded (100%). No failed, timeout, rate-limit, or parse-error outcomes anywhere in the window. The three in-progress rows are this review task and its two siblings, all dispatched at 23:00–23:01 UTC.

Note: the query in the review runbook (started_at > datetime('now', '-24 hours')) undercounts the cutoff due to a T/space separator mismatch between ISO-8601 started_at values and SQLite's datetime() output — string comparison pulls in an extra ~14 hours of the prior day. Using a properly formatted ISO cutoff (date -u -v-24H +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") gives the accurate 41-run window above. This is a quirk of the ad-hoc reporting query, not an orch code path, so no issue filed.

Active Cooldowns

KeyStatusReason
minimax:opusactive until 2026-07-23 10:48 UTCpersisted billing-cycle exhaustion, 7-day cap correctly applied, unchanged from yesterday

Every other agent/model cooldown in KV has already expired. No new cooldown patterns.

Routing Accuracy

Two LLM-router picks selected a cooled minimax agent/model and were correctly caught and rerouted to claude by the routing-sanity check (internal:155193, internal:155194, both at 23:00 UTC) — the same known, low-impact pattern noted in prior reports (LLM occasionally hallucinates past cooldown state; fallback logic catches it every time with a WARN log, one wasted LLM call). One router-LLM pool timeout (internal:155195, 45s) advanced to the next pool entry and retried next tick as designed. No misroutes reached dispatch.

Logs and Service Health

  • orch.error.log is 0 bytes, last touched Jul 18 23:29 (predates this session) — no new service-level errors.
  • No ERROR-level log lines in the last 200 lines of the service log; only expected WARNs (routing-sanity reroutes, one router-LLM timeout, one slow tick at 69.9s coinciding with the timeout retry).

What Failed

Nothing failed in the true last-24h window — see the found-issue below, which is a stuck condition rather than a failure of any single run.


Stuck Tasks — New Finding

Two tasks belonging to a repo that was removed from the active project list months ago have been sitting in routed status for 2+ days with zero dispatch activity (route_attempts=0, no tmux session, no worktree). Traced the full history:

  1. Stuck in_progress with a dead session for ~48 days, reset to new by the cross-repo stuck-task watchdog on 2026-05-31.
  2. Sat in new for 47 days until the new global routing sweep (#3408, deployed ~Jul 16) picked them up and routed them successfully on 2026-07-17.
  3. Since then: stuck in routed, because dispatch (tick_dispatch_tasks and its event-driven subscriber) is still scoped to a single active repo with no cross-repo sweep — the same structural gap #3408 fixed for routing, one stage further down the pipeline.

Filed #3413 with the root cause and a suggested fix (a dispatch_routed_tasks_global sweep mirroring route_new_tasks_global).

Other stuck/blocked tasks are unchanged from prior reports: pre-existing downstream CI/billing blocks (payment/spending-limit issue on one downstream repo's Actions runs, CI-failure-limit backlog on another) — all handled correctly per the settled per-task-block architecture, no orch-side action needed.

The single new task is orch's own auto-created task for issue #3413 (filed 5 minutes ago, by this run) — not a stuck task, just this review's own follow-up entering the pipeline normally. new had otherwise held at 0 for two straight days, confirming #3408 continues to hold.


Issues

1 issue filed this run:

  • #3413 — routed tasks from an inactive/removed repo never dispatch, stranded indefinitely. Root cause identified, fix suggested (global dispatch sweep, same pattern as #3408's routing fix).

No other new bug, prompt gap, or operational pattern surfaced beyond this one — everything else in the window is handled correctly by existing mechanisms.


Priorities for Tomorrow

  1. Watch #3413 land and confirm the two stranded tasks dispatch once the fix ships and the operator upgrades on their own schedule.
  2. Watch minimax:opus clear (~2026-07-23) — same as prior days, watch for immediate re-exhaustion on clear.
  3. new staying at 0 for 3 days running — continues to validate #3408; worth checking whether routed should get the same multi-day trend-watch once #3413 ships.
  4. Downstream blocked-task backlog (50) is stable, not growing — continue monitoring only for count changes.
