Daily Review — 2026-07-20

What Shipped (Last 24h)

3 commits, all same-day fix-forward cycles — each bug was found, fixed, reviewed, and merged within the 24h window:

CommitPRFixesSummary
c03e2312#3415#3413dispatch_routed_tasks_global sweep — tasks routed for an inactive/removed repo were stranded in routed forever; dispatch is now global like routing already was (#3408)
cd23bf90#3418#3416resolve_project_dir() now errors instead of silently falling back to service CWD when a project dir can't be resolved — the fallback was producing "fatal: not a git repository" worktree failures
b4969c79#3419#3417normalize_status() gained the changes_requested_addressed alias, same class as the existing changes_addressed

3 issues closed in the window: #3413, #3416, #3417 (all three above). Zero issues open as of this review.

Notably, #3416 was a bug exposed by #3415's own fix minutes after it shipped (dispatch sweep started reaching worktrees that had never needed real path resolution before) — caught and fixed same day rather than lingering.


Operational Health

Task Run Outcomes (last 24h, corrected ISO cutoff)

18 distinct (agent, model, outcome) combinations, dominated by success:

AgentModelOutcomeCount

claudesonnetfailed5
opencodehy3-freesuccess4
kimiopusrate_limit2

The 5 claude:sonnet failures and 2 opencode failures break down as:

  • unrecognized status: changes_requested_addressed (tasks 3417, 2642) — the exact bug #3417/#3419 fixed; both tasks self-recovered and are now done.
  • failed to create worktree ... fatal: not a git repository (tasks 490, 493) — the exact bug #3416/#3418 fixed; both self-recovered, now needs_review.
  • max attempts reached (internal:155200) — a Claude Code session hit its own 10/10 turn limit; task self-recovered on retry and is done. Not an orch bug.
  • unrecognized status: pushed to internal-155195-... (internal:155195) — agent embedded a branch name in its status string instead of a normalizable alias. Same non-actionable "domain terms leaking as status" category as prior entries (e.g. funding_rate); would need an agent-prompt fix, not a parser fix. Only 1 occurrence, task self-recovered, now done. Already logged in the orch skill as not worth filing.
  • kimi (3×) and minimax (1×) rate_limit — all billing-cycle exhaustion, all correctly cooled (kimi:opus 47m, kimi:sonnet 2h9m, kimi:haiku 1d, minimax:sonnet 4d10h remaining per orch cooldown list). No action needed.

Net: every failure in the window either was the direct evidence for one of today's three same-day fixes, or is a known non-actionable pattern already documented. No new unhandled failure classes.

Active Cooldowns

KeyRemainingReason
minimax:opus2d11hpersisted billing-cycle exhaustion, 7-day cap, unchanged from yesterday
minimax:sonnet4d10hnew billing-cycle exhaustion today, correctly cooled
kimi:opus47mbilling-cycle exhaustion
kimi:sonnet2h9mbilling-cycle exhaustion
kimi:haiku1dbilling-cycle exhaustion

All cooldowns are model-scoped where the failing model was identified — no agent-wide over-blocking observed.

Routing Accuracy

One router LLM pool timeout (internal:155236, agent=minimax model=haiku, 45s) advanced to the next pool entry and will retry next tick as designed — no misroute reached dispatch. Two pre-emptive health-check WARNs marked kimi and minimax "degraded (all models cooled)" at 22:34 UTC, consistent with the cooldowns above (both agents had all models cooled at that moment) — expected behavior, not a bug.

Logs and Service Health

  • orch.error.log is 0 bytes — no new service-level errors.
  • No ERROR-level lines in the last 200 lines of the service log; only expected WARNs (router timeout clamp, pre-emptive degraded-agent marks, one slow tick at 50.1s coinciding with the router timeout retry).
  • Service restarted cleanly at 22:33 UTC (graceful shutdown → restart, no work lost).

Stuck / Blocked Tasks

Task status distribution is unchanged in shape from yesterday:

StatusCount
done5,115
blocked50
in_progress2
needs_review2

blocked count held flat at 50 — same pre-existing backlog as prior reports: one downstream repo's CI failures blocked at merge time (per-task, correctly scoped, no repo-wide block per settled architecture), another downstream repo's GitHub Actions billing failure blocking a handful of recurring tasks. Both are external, human-side billing/CI issues outside orch's control — no orch-side action needed, consistent with every prior report.

The two in_progress tasks are this review and its sibling evening-retrospective task, both dispatched seconds ago. routed is back to 0 (the two tasks stuck there yesterday — subject of #3413 — dispatched successfully once #3415 shipped).


Issues

0 issues filed this run. All three bugs surfaced in the window (#3413, #3416, #3417) were already found, fixed, and closed by the time this review ran — the pipeline caught and resolved its own problems same-day without waiting for the daily review to file them. No new operational problem found beyond what's already documented as non-actionable in the orch skill.


Priorities for Tomorrow

  1. Confirm #3415/#3418/#3419 stay fixed — watch for any recurrence of dispatch-stranding, worktree CWD fallback, or changes_requested_addressed parse failures over the next 24-48h as more traffic exercises the new code paths.
  2. Watch minimax:sonnet's new 4d10h cooldown — first time this specific model has hit billing exhaustion; confirm it clears cleanly on 2026-07-25 without immediate re-exhaustion (same watch pattern as minimax:opus, clearing 2026-07-23).
  3. blocked backlog (50) stable, not growing — continue monitoring only for count changes; both root causes are external (downstream billing/CI), not orch bugs.
  4. routed returning to 0 confirms #3415's dispatch sweep is working end-to-end — worth a multi-day trend check same as new got after #3408.
