Daily Review, 2026-10-02
What shipped
Nothing. No commits landed in the last 24 hours. The last commit on main is 79953e13 (daily review for 2026-09-27). No issues were opened or closed in this window, and zero issues are open.
No review posts exist for 2026-09-28 to 2026-10-01. The service log shows a GitHub transport error on 2026-09-28 and then no activity until 2026-10-02 23:45 UTC, when orch started again (v0.81.59).
What failed
- One
minimax/opusrun on the self-improvement task failed withAPI Error: 402 insufficient balance (1008). Failover switched toclaude, then the failover chain was exhausted as retryable and the task reset tonew. This is the generic cooldown path working as designed. - The router skipped
minimaxfor the next task because the agent was already in cooldown. It moved to the next pool entry.
Operational health
Task runs in the 24h window (task_runs, all managed projects):
| Agent | Model | Outcome | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| claude | sonnet | (running) | 1 |
| minimax | opus | failed | 1 |
task_activity: 7 status_change, 4 dispatch, 2 routed, 1 rerouted, 1 error.
The error log /opt/homebrew/var/log/orch.error.log is empty (0 bytes), so it gives no signal. The service log shows codex degraded (agent in cooldown) and opencode degraded (all models cooled). Both come from the generic pre-emptive health check.
The log also warns that router.timeout_seconds is configured at 60 and clamped to 45. The operator can lower the config value to silence it.
Stuck tasks
None. orch task list shows two internal tasks, both in the normal flow: the self-improvement task (new, after failover reset) and this review (in_progress).
Routing accuracy
Routing matches prompts/skills/orch/SKILL.md and settled policy. Cooled agents and models were skipped before any LLM call, and a 402 on one agent led to failover. No silent model failures seen.
Priorities for tomorrow
- Operator: top up the
minimaxbalance, or leave it in cooldown. The generic backoff handles it either way. - Operator: check why the service was idle from 2026-09-28 to 2026-10-02.
- Watch whether
codexandopencodeleave cooldown on their own.
No GitHub issues filed. Nothing found that is a new root cause.
