Commit	PR	Summary
`a83a4fed`	#3456	Posted the 2026-07-31 daily review

No other code changes landed in gabrielkoerich/orch today. No GitHub issues were closed in this window — the most recently closed fix (#3450, "Git CLI push connect failures consume review failure quota instead of transient reset") landed on 2026-07-28.

Open issue snapshot:

#3453 bug(review-prompt): pending CI status prose still causes review parse errors — filed 2026-07-29, now 3 days old with no PR/task attached to it yet. Still the only open orch-side defect.

The orchestration pipeline kept moving: 28 tasks reached done in the last 24 hours (25 in gabrielkoerich/bean, 3 in gabrielkoerich/orch).

Task Run Outcomes

task_runs outcomes in the last 24 hours:

Agent	Model	Outcome	Count
claude	`sonnet`	`success`	23
kimi	`opus`	`success`	15
codex	`gpt-5.4`	`success`	13
codex	`gpt-5.5`	`success`	7
opencode	`opencode/ling-3.0-flash-free`	`success`	5
opencode	`opencode/deepseek-v4-flash-free`	`success`	3
opencode	`opencode/mimo-v2.5-free`	`success`	3
opencode	`opencode/north-mini-code-free`	`success`	3
claude	`sonnet`	(empty)	1
opencode	`opencode/deepseek-v4-flash-free`	(empty)	1
opencode	`opencode/ling-3.0-flash-free`	`failed`	1
opencode	`opencode/ling-3.0-flash-free`	`parse_error`	1
opencode	`opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free`	`failed`	1

The two empty-outcome rows are runs still mid-flight at query time, not failures: one claude/sonnet run is this review task (internal:155529, currently on its second attempt after review feedback), and one opencode/deepseek-v4-flash-free run is internal:155530 ("Daily evening retrospective" in gabrielkoerich/bean, currently in_review).

This is a healthy failure profile: 3 non-success runs out of 75 completed runs (excluding the 2 still in-flight), and all 3 fall in known-classified categories (opencode network/streaming errors already handled by #3378/#3379).

Logs, Routing, and Cooldowns

orch log 300/500 showed:

service running orch/0.80.70
zero ERROR-level log lines in the last 300 lines
/opt/homebrew/var/log/orch.error.log is 0 bytes (freshly truncated by a recent restart) — nothing to report
recurring LLM selected cooled agent/model; rerouting to available agent warnings for minimax at 22:00, 22:01, 23:00 (x2) UTC, each immediately falling back to claude within the same tick — this is the expected #3422 fallback behavior, not a new issue
no AllAgentsCooled storms, no persistent degraded-agent windows

Active cooldowns (orch cooldown list) are all previously-documented, persisted entries: kimi:haiku (9h), minimax:haiku (1d), minimax:opus (4d17h), opencode:opencode/laguna-s-2.1-free (12h31m). Nothing new.

Routing accuracy looks fine in this slice — claude/sonnet and kimi/opus carried the bulk of successful work, codex handled a healthy share, and the one opencode network failure/parse_error pair self-recovered via reroute.

Backlog and Stuck Work

Current task backlog:

54 tasks blocked (unchanged from yesterday's count)
2 tasks needs_review
1 task in_progress (this review, on its second attempt); internal:155530 (bean retrospective) has since moved to in_review

No blocked tasks in gabrielkoerich/orch itself. The blocked backlog remains dominated by the same known downstream constraints as previous reviews:

Task	Status	Notes
`internal:155464`, `internal:155443`	`blocked`	bean close requires owner categorization of ambiguous entries
`internal:155315`	`blocked`	weekly advisor follow-up depends on Things being available on the host
`internal:155254`, `internal:154697`	`blocked`	downstream trading/import issues, unresolved
`#490`, `#493` (`oblivion`)	`needs_review`	still open since 2026-07-20 — 12 days
many `oblivion` tasks	`blocked`	still in `CI failure limit reached during auto-merge` state with open PRs

Nothing here is a fresh orch regression — same long tail flagged in the last several daily reviews.

Issues

No new GitHub issues filed by this review.

Reasoning:

the only open orch bug (#3453) is already tracked, just still unpicked-up — not re-filing, but flagging staleness below
the observed opencode failure/parse_error pair are correctly classified and self-recovered via existing mechanisms (#3378/#3379)
the recurring minimax cooled-selection → claude fallback is expected post-#3422 behavior, reused the generic cooldown/router system correctly, and resolved within the same tick every time
zero ERROR-level log lines and an empty orch.error.log — no new failure signal to root-cause

Priorities for Tomorrow

#3453 has now sat open for 3 days with no dispatch — worth checking why it hasn't routed (label missing? blocked on something?) rather than treating "still open" as steady state.
#490 and #493 in oblivion have been needs_review for 12 days — check whether the review queue for that repo is actually stuck versus just low-priority.
Keep watching the oblivion CI-failure-limit backlog for any sign it can reconcile once upstream CI health improves.
No new orch-code operational problems this cycle — pipeline is quiet and healthy; next review should keep the same signal-over-noise bar.

Prepared by Orch automation (internal:155529) on 2026-08-01.
