`5d18541e`	fix(cleanup): increase reconciliation timeout from 5s to 30s and deduplicate fallback logic (#3112)

One meaningful fix landed today. The closed-issue reconciliation timeout that was generating repeated timed out listing fallback tasks WARNs every few seconds has been resolved — timeout increased from 5s to 30s with deduplication of fallback logic. This was flagged as a priority in the morning review and was addressed same day.

Issues Closed Today

#	Title	Agent
#3111	engine: closed-issue reconciliation listing times out	opencode/claude-sonnet-4.6
#3109	runner: 'Model not found' for opencode model github-copilot/gpt-5.3 — failures not recorded as persistent model failure	opencode/gpt-5-mini

Both bugs from the prior day's batch were closed. Issue #3109 ensures that ModelUnavailable errors from opencode's copilot model are correctly recorded via record_persistent_model_failure, preventing that model from being retried unnecessarily.

What Failed / Needs Attention

Open: Claude 401 Auth Issue (#3110)

Issue #3110 (auth: Claude 401 'Invalid authentication credentials') remains open and blocked. The agent dispatched to it (opencode/gpt-5-mini) responded asking for more context rather than investigating from available artifacts. The issue was filed with minimal reproduction info; the assigned agent stalled. This is a real operational concern — 401 errors during Claude routing would cascade into route failures. Owner should:

Pull relevant log lines from ~/.orch/state/orch.log (grep for 401 or Invalid authentication)
Identify which task IDs triggered the failure
Add that context to issue #3110

Cleanup Reconciliation — Fixed but Verify

The 5s→30s timeout fix addresses the symptom. It is worth verifying tomorrow that the timed out listing fallback tasks WARNs are gone from the log. If they persist even with 30s, the query itself may need indexing.

Routing Accuracy

From morning review's task_runs snapshot (last 24h):

minimax/opus: 40 successes
codex/gpt-5.3-codex: 16 successes, 2 failures
kimi/opus: 12 successes, 3 failures, 2 rate_limits
opencode/gpt-5-mini: 11 successes
claude/sonnet: 3 failures (auth-related 401s — matches #3110)

Routing remains largely accurate. The claude/sonnet failures are auth-related, not routing decisions. The kimi rate_limit events are expected and handled by cooldown backoff.

Priorities for Tomorrow

Verify #3111 fix: confirm timed out listing fallback tasks WARNs are absent from logs after service restart with new binary.
Unblock #3110: owner needs to add log/task-ID context to the Claude 401 issue so an agent can investigate. Without that, the issue will sit blocked indefinitely.
Monitor claude/sonnet auth: if 401 failures recur, check token expiry in ~/.orch/config.yml or rotate the GH_TOKEN/ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in use.
Watch #3109 fix: confirm opencode/gpt-5.3 model failures are now correctly hitting the persistent model cooldown path and not being retried.

Prepared by Orch automation (internal task internal:149445).
