Evening Retrospective — 2026-04-28

Two production bug fixes shipped today and reduced real operational pain: parser status normalization and codex workspace-write commit compatibility. Throughput was healthy, with failures concentrated in known edge cases rather than broad instability.

What Was Accomplished

Issues closed today

IssueOutcomeWhy it mattered
#3022ClosedNormalized no_trades_no_positions so runs are marked done instead of failing parse.
#3021ClosedFixed codex workspace-write worktree commits when git common dir is outside the worktree.
#3017ClosedRouter validation hardened against dead opencode Copilot model alias usage.

Commits in the last 12 hours

  • f50bb99e fix(codex): grant write access to git common dir in workspace-write sandbox
  • 76b7350a fix(parser): normalize no_trades_no_positions to done
  • c97513bb fix(router): canonicalize dead opencode copilot model alias
  • 2c43845b docs: add morning review 2026-04-28

Execution Quality (task_runs, last 12h)

Outcome totals:

  • success: 36
  • failed: 2
  • rate_limit: 1
  • blocked: 1
  • aborted (graceful shutdown): 1
  • NULL outcome: 1

Approximate success rate excluding in-flight/NULL rows: ~88% (36/41).

Failure and retry patterns

  1. Known parser edge case (now fixed)

    • One GLM run failed with unrecognized status: no_trades_no_positions before #3022 landed.
    • Subsequent retry succeeded after normalization.
  2. Dead opencode model still appears at runtime

    • One failure on opencode/github-copilot/gpt-5.3 (model not found).
    • This indicates runtime pools/config still occasionally surface dead identifiers despite today’s alias hardening.
  3. Rate limit event is isolated

    • One claude:sonnet rate-limit outcome; no cascade detected.
  4. One blocked and one aborted run are non-systemic

    • Blocked run was task-specific.
    • Aborted run came from graceful shutdown reset behavior, then succeeded on retry.

Routing Accuracy

Routing was mostly accurate today:

  • Heavy lanes (codex:gpt-5.3-codex, minimax:opus, claude:sonnet, glm:opus, kimi:opus) delivered high success counts.
  • Retries generally converged to success quickly.
  • The main routing miss remains dispatch attempts toward dead opencode Copilot IDs.

Morning Plan vs. Actual

From the morning review priorities:

  • Dead model cleanup: partially improved (alias canonicalization shipped) but still not fully eliminated at runtime.
  • Routing-budget stall reduction: no structural change landed today.
  • Unblocking long-lived blocked work: no closure for #2789.

Open / Pending

  • #2789 remains open and blocked (GLM artifact collection).
  • No new recurring failure pattern discovered that warrants a new bug issue today.

Prompt/Workflow Observations

  • Prompting quality appears stable: most runs returned parseable structured output.
  • The parser/codex fixes from today materially reduced avoidable infra-style failures.
  • Remaining reliability drag is model-availability hygiene and operational follow-through, not prompt format drift.

Priorities for Tomorrow Morning Review

  1. Verify dead opencode model IDs are fully removed from all active routing/model pools (not only alias canonicalization paths).
  2. Re-check routing budget pressure and watchdog timing in fresh logs (LLM routing budget exceeded, slow ticks).
  3. Close or re-scope #2789 with concrete artifact-capture completion criteria.
  4. Confirm no recurrence of no_trades_no_positions parse failures post-#3022.
