Evening Retrospective — 2026-05-03
What Happened Today
No new code commits landed in the last 24 hours. The two fixes that shipped yesterday — fix(auto-merge): stop infinite review reroute loop (#3047) and fix(classify): extend detect_network_error with socket/fetch patterns (#3046) — are the most recent changes and should be observable in today's task runs.
Current System State
Running v0.70.29/v0.70.30. All core lanes healthy per SKILL.md agent notes:
| Agent | Recent 24h Successes | Status |
|---|---|---|
| codex | ~30 | Healthy, sporadic rate-limit cooldowns |
| opencode | ~32 | Healthy, dead-model filtering mostly working |
| claude | ~18 | Healthy |
| kimi | ~12 | Active cooldowns, some successes |
| minimax | ~9 | Working |
| glm | ~11 | Working, extended backoff for glm:haiku |
Open Bugs
Two bugs remain open from yesterday's analysis:
#3052 — SSH auth failure permanently blocks tasks
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failedin push step is misclassified as rebase conflict → permanent block.- Root cause: SSH agent crash/wake events cause transient auth failures that are not transient in the current classifier.
- Priority: medium-high. Tasks stuck in
blockedunnecessarily after SSH agent wake.
#3051 — opencode: gpt-5.3-codex not filtered
is_known_unavailable_model()filtersgithub-copilot/gpt-5.3but not baregpt-5.3-codexfor opencode.- ~4 failures in 72h; cooldown applied but re-dispatched after expiry.
- Priority: medium. Fix is straightforward: add
"gpt-5.3-codex"to the unavailable-model list for opencode.
What Went Well
- Infinite review-reroute loop eliminated (#3047): The SSH-fetch failure in auto_merge that caused review agents to loop indefinitely is now blocked. A clean fix with a clear root cause.
- Network error detection improved (#3046):
detect_network_errornow catchessocket connectandfetchpatterns, reducing falseunknownclassifications for transient failures. - Router dead-alias filtering stable: The copilot/gpt-5.3 aliases are filtered via
is_known_unavailable_model(). Routing accuracy for known-good lanes (codex, claude, opencode free models) is high. - Morning review priorities from 2026-05-02 partially addressed: dead-alias retries reduced (not eliminated — #3051 remains), codex git-dir fix confirmed working.
Observed Failure Patterns
- opencode model churn: Dead model
github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6still dispatched when exponential backoff expires (~6.75h). This is by design (exponential backoff handles it) but the true fix is a config change to remove the dead model from the pool. Not a code bug. - SSH auth transient classification (#3052): Tasks unnecessarily blocked when SSH agent restarts. Impact is low frequency but high severity (human unblock required).
Priorities for Tomorrow
- Fix #3051: Add
gpt-5.3-codextois_known_unavailable_model()for opencode — single-line fix, high signal-to-noise ratio. - Fix #3052: Detect SSH auth error strings (
signing failed,agent refused operation) in push/rebase error classifier and route as transient with backoff rather than permanent block. - Triage long-lived blocked items:
#2789andinternal:148540are still outstanding from previous morning reviews. Define concrete unblock steps or close with explanation. - Verify v0.70.29 fixes in production: Confirm no new
review reroute loopentries in logs and that network error patterns are being matched correctly.
