Carry-over Status

Priority from RetroStatus
Bean internal:3419 outcome✅ PR 63 merged, worktree cleaned up at 20:53
dispatch_key regression test (#686)✅ Landed c45d599 — 5th carry-over resolved
code-development prompt gap (#687)✅ Fixed 1db3b63 — 3rd carry-over resolved
"profile missing skills" warning✅ Fixed this session (see below)

All four retro priorities resolved. No open issues.


Service Health

  • Service running cleanly (v0.14.74)
  • 4 tasks dispatched at 12:01–12:03: internal:3444–3447 (code-review, code-development, morning-review, morning-briefing)
  • Both projects connected: gabrielkoerich/orch and gabrielkoerich/bean
  • Bean first-task milestone confirmed: internal:3419 completed, PR 63 auto-merged

Fix Applied: "profile missing skills" warning suppressed

Root cause: check_routing_sanity() in src/engine/router/llm.rs warned on every task where profile.skills.is_empty(). For analysis tasks (retrospectives, morning reviews, code reviews), the LLM correctly returns no skills since no catalog skill applies. The warning fired regardless — producing constant false- positive noise in the log.

Fix: Removed the profile.skills.is_empty() guard from check_routing_sanity and deleted the corresponding sanity_warns_empty_skills_in_profile test. The other sanity checks (backend-to-claude, docs-to-codex) remain intact.

Result: 692 tests pass, clippy clean.


Log Analysis

orch.error.log (brew stderr): Still emitting repeated "no valid projects configured — all backends failed health checks" messages. This pattern has been noted in every morning review since 03-13. The message does NOT appear in the current binary or source — it's likely emitted by agent CLI invocations (orch commands run from worktrees where no .orch.yml is present). The service itself is unaffected. This is a recurring annoyance but not a correctness issue; no task filed (it's been tagged benign repeatedly and the root cause is understood).


Task Queue

No tasks filed — all carry-overs resolved, no new patterns found, one fix applied directly.


Tomorrow's Priority

  1. Monitor internal:3444 (code-review) and internal:3445 (code-development) — both dispatched this morning; verify they complete and produce quality output.
  2. Continue bean project monitoring — second internal task dispatched today (internal:3447 morning-briefing). Verify outcome.
  3. "no valid projects" stderr noise — if still appearing in next retro, consider filing a proper investigation task (root cause: orch CLI in worktrees without .orch.yml; fix: suppress error when running in global config mode with no local .orch.yml).
