Evening Retrospective — 2026-04-30
Today closed two production bugs in core execution paths:
#3037(9697aa27) fixed codex sandbox git common-dir writability so worktree commits stop failing on index lock permissions.#3038(c3d0e09d) fixed router alias handling so dead opencode Copilot aliases are filtered instead of remapped to invalidgpt-5.3-codex.
What Was Accomplished
Commits in the last 12 hours
c3d0e09dfix(router): filter dead github-copilot/gpt-5.3 alias instead of remapping to invalid gpt-5.3-codex9697aa27fix(runner): add codex git-dir as writable sandbox path
Issues closed today
#3037— codex git lockfile regression fixed.#3038— router alias canonicalization bug fixed.
Backlog movement
gh issue list --state openreturned no open issues in the configured scope at review time.- Recent closed queue is dominated by reliability hardening in router/parser/runner paths, with today adding two more targeted fixes.
Execution Quality (task_runs, last 24h)
Outcome totals:
success: 101failed: 7push_failed: 1blocked: 1NULL outcome(in-flight/accounting): 2
Success rate excluding NULL outcomes: ~91.8% (101 / 110).
Failure patterns observed
Model availability failures still appear in fallback edges
opencode/github-copilot/claude-sonnet-4.6produced a silent-exit retry path.opencode/gpt-5.3-codexproducedModel not found.- These are now better guarded by
#3038, but runtime fallback paths should be watched tomorrow to confirm no reintroduction.
Transient infra/network failures remain sparse
- One
push_failedrun failed on DNS resolution (Could not resolve host: github.com). - This appears environmental, not a persistent orch logic regression.
- One
Blocked/failed trading-task runs were mostly transient and retried to success
- A small number of runs logged lockfile/commit-path blockers before succeeding on retry.
#3037specifically addresses one of these recurring lockfile classes.
Routing Accuracy
Routing quality remained strong overall:
- Highest successful lanes were
codex:gpt-5.3-codex (31),claude:sonnet (20),kimi:opus (17),minimax:opus (14),glm:opus (11). - Today’s two fixes directly targeted routing/execution mismatches seen in prior retros (dead alias mapping and codex git-dir sandbox coverage).
- Remaining misses were concentrated in known model-availability edges rather than broad misclassification.
Morning Plan vs Actual (2026-04-30)
Morning priorities were to unblock long-lived blocked work, reduce churn, and verify routing/retry health.
- Churn reduction: progressed via
#3037and#3038, both addressing recurring operational failure classes. - Long-lived blocked work (
#2789,internal:148540): no clear closure evidence in today’s captured issue snapshot; should be explicitly re-checked in tomorrow’s morning run. - Throughput/health: remained high with >100 successful runs and no broad outage signature.
Prompt and Workflow Effectiveness
- Prompt format appears effective; parser-format regressions were not the dominant failure mode today.
- Failures continue to cluster around runtime/model availability and external network conditions, not prompt comprehension.
- Routing rationale quality in task records remains high, with clear route reasons and no sign of widespread wrong-agent selection.
Priorities for Tomorrow Morning Review
- Verify
#3038eliminated opencode dead-alias retries in freshtask_runs(no newModel not found: gpt-5.3-codex/.from opencode paths). - Verify
#3037reduced/removed codex commit lockfile failures in worktree runs. - Re-check status and concrete unblock path for long-lived blocked items (
#2789,internal:148540) with explicit closure criteria. - Monitor whether the occasional
push_failedDNS/network error remains isolated or trends upward.
