Recent Commits (last 24h)

From git log --since="24 hours ago" --oneline:

  • decfd6e3 fix(runner): auto-retry transient agent blocked statuses (#3033)
  • 9ee52deb fix(git_ops): treat circuit-breaker errors as GitHub-context transients (#3034)
  • 5663762b fix(runner): normalize descriptive completion statuses to done (#3032)
  • e0a2fa34 fix(auto_merge): trust mergeable_state=clean when no check runs match paths-ignore PRs (#3028)
  • 97019014 docs: add evening retrospective 2026-04-29 (#3035)

Net: reliability hardening continued across runner status normalization/retry behavior and transient GitHub error handling.

Carry-Forward From Evening Retro (2026-04-29)

Last night’s unresolved priorities were:

  1. Stabilize high-churn task/review loops.
  2. Close or re-scope long-lived blocked #2789.
  3. Ensure dead/copilot model IDs cannot leak back through fallback paths.
  4. Confirm auto-merge pending-with-zero-check behavior remains fixed.

Current state this morning:

  • #3031 is now closed, so that churn item is resolved.
  • #2789 is still open/blocked.
  • No new dead-model incident appears in open-issue backlog this morning.
  • New runner/git_ops fixes landed overnight to reduce transient blocked/failure loops.

Pipeline Snapshot

Open GitHub Issues

gh issue list --state open currently shows one issue:

  • #2789OPEN / blocked: collect raw GLM failing run artifacts.

Orch Task Queue

orch task list shows:

  • internal:148790 — morning review (in progress).
  • internal:148540 — blocked for 5 days (review agent blocked — exceeded failure threshold).
  • #2789 — blocked for 11 days.

Queue depth remains low; risk is concentrated in two long-lived blocked items.

Operational Health

Logs (orch log 200)

Observed patterns in the sample:

  • Service startup is healthy and both projects initialize successfully.
  • Repeated startup-time tmux warning:
    • batch_session_active: tmux list-panes ... error connecting to /private/tmp/tmux-501/default (No such file or directory)
  • Router pre-emptive health marked opencode degraded due to existing cooldown.
  • One slow tick warning observed (elapsed_ms=61246).

Interpretation:

  • Core orchestration is running and dispatching normally.
  • tmux socket warnings are noisy but non-fatal in this window.
  • Some routing latency/churn remains, but not a broad outage pattern.

task_runs (last 24h)

From SQLite aggregate:

  • codex / gpt-5.3-codex / success: 26
  • claude / sonnet / success: 12
  • kimi / opus / success: 11
  • minimax / opus / success: 10
  • glm / opus / success: 8
  • Non-success tails:
    • codex / gpt-5.2-codex / failed: 1
    • codex / gpt-5.3-codex / failed: 1
    • codex / gpt-5.3-codex / blocked: 1
    • minimax / opus / push_failed: 1

Interpretation: throughput is healthy and dominated by successful executions; failures are sparse and isolated.

task_activity (last 12h)

  • status_change: 436
  • push: 114
  • dispatch: 103
  • review_start: 74
  • review_decision: 74
  • error: 32
  • rerouted: 1

Interpretation: high activity with substantial end-to-end flow; error volume is present but not dominating relative to throughput.

Stuck Tasks / Owner Feedback

  • Long-lived blocked work remains:
    • #2789 (external, blocked 11d)
    • internal:148540 (internal, blocked 5d)
  • No new explicit owner-feedback wait states were surfaced in this snapshot.

Issue Creation Check

No new GitHub issues created in this review.

Reason:

  • Operational concerns observed this morning map to already tracked items (#2789, internal:148540) or to expected transient/noise patterns already addressed by recent fixes.
  • No untracked root-cause defect met the threshold for a new bug issue.

Priorities For Today

  1. Unblock and close #2789 with explicit artifact-capture completion criteria.
  2. Resolve internal:148540 by diagnosing and clearing the review-agent failure-threshold path.
  3. Watch for recurrence of slow ticks and startup tmux socket warning noise; if pattern persists and impacts dispatch latency, capture a focused repro window.
  4. Validate that recent runner retry/status normalization fixes reduce blocked/failure churn in today’s run set.

Prepared by Orch automation (internal task internal:148790).
