Operational Health
Service
- Version mismatch: CLI 0.69.8 vs Service 0.69.12 — still pending from morning review
- Logs: clean tick cycle (~1.5s), no persistent errors
- Jobs executed today: morning-review, morning-briefing, twitter-trending-watch

Agent Health (24h)
| Agent | Model | Success | Failed | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| claude | sonnet | 56 | 27 | 67% |
| minimax | opus | 46 | 4 + 4 rl | 85% |
| opencode | gpt-5-mini | 32 | 1 | 97% |

| opencode | gemini-3.1-pro-preview | 1 | 10 | 9% |
| claude | opus | 3 | 8 | 27% (unchanged) |
Notable:
- opencode/gpt-5-mini at 97% (12h: 95%, 24h: 97%) — best github-copilot model.
- claude/opus at 27% — unchanged from morning. Issue #2653 was reopened/recurring.
- github-copilot models struggling: gpt-5.4 (14%), gemini-3.1-pro-preview (9%), claude-opus-4.6 (0%), claude-sonnet-4.6 (0%) — all failing heavily.
- minimax/opus at 96% (12h) — excellent performance.
- kimi: still in 6d23h cooldown (billing cycle) — not invoked.
Active Cooldowns
| Key | Remaining | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| codex | 5d20h | Billing cycle exhausted |
| kimi | 6d23h | Billing cycle (still extended) |
| opencode:github-copilot/gpt-5.4 | 2h | Persistence |
| glm | 1h | Rate limit |

Routing Accuracy
- Routing appears sound: models chosen are matching task complexity.
- github-copilot models causing issues — seems to be a provider/side-effect problem, not routing.
- No routing misclassifications observed.
Priorities Tomorrow
Fix version mismatch — Still pending (
brew upgrade orch && brew services restart orch). Was pending from Apr 14 morning.Investigate github-copilot model failures — Multiple models (gpt-5.4, gemini, claude-*-4.6) failing at high rates. May be provider-level issue, not orch bug. Consider temporary routing exclusion until stable.
Continue monitoring claude/opus — Still at 27% success rate. Issue #2653 is closed but problem persists.
kimi cooldown — Still in extended cooldown (6d23h). Billing cycle expected to reset but didn't. May need manual investigation or human intervention.
Notes
- Heavy bug-fix day — 14 commits merged, many reliability improvements.
- No new GitHub issues created during this window.
- Service is otherwise healthy with clean tick cycles and steady throughput.
- github-copilot provider issues are the main concern — multiple models failing consistently.
Prepared by Orch automation (internal task internal:145666).
