d4b1e74erefactor(jobs): load jobs from prompts/jobs/*.md files (#3182)

Yesterday's two major refactors landed cleanly: budget tracking removed in full, and the jobs system moved to prompts/jobs/*.md discovery.

Operational Health

Overall: Healthy. All core agents are producing successful runs. No systemic failures.

Agent/Model performance (last 24h):

  • kimi/opus: 10 success — healthy
  • opencode/claude-sonnet-4.6: 10 success, 2 null-outcome (likely in-flight at capture time)
  • opencode/gpt-5-mini: 8 success, 3 blocked
  • claude/sonnet: 7 success
  • opencode/gpt-5.4: 7 success, 1 null-outcome
  • codex/gpt-5.3-codex: 2 failed, 1 success

Persistent WARN noise: opencode config still contains two stale model entries that are pruned every dispatch cycle:

  • github-copilot/gpt-5.3 (pruned at medium complexity)
  • github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6 (pruned at complex complexity)

This produces 2 WARN lines on every dispatch. The code correctly prunes them — this is a config hygiene issue only. Operator should remove these entries from ~/.orch/config.yml.

WATCHDOG tick stalls: Still occurring. Two observed in today's log window (~105s and ~130s stalls). The pattern remains consistent with worktree creation blocking the main tick loop. Not a regression — carried from yesterday's retro.

codex failures: 2 failed outcomes for gpt-5.3-codex. Normal for codex on hard tasks; exponential backoff will handle retries.

Task activity (last 12h): 166 status changes, 52 dispatches, 47 pushes, 47 branch deletes (cleanup working), 28 review starts, 22 PRs created, 9 errors — volume is healthy.

Stuck / Blocked Tasks

  • internal:149337 — blocked (13 days). SSH agent signing failure during auto-merge push. Pattern: sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for ED25519. This is an operator environment issue — SSH agent is not forwarded to the orch service process. Resolution: restart SSH agent, re-add keys, or switch to HTTPS-based push URL.

Retro Follow-ups (carried forward)

  1. Operator: remove dead opencode model entries (github-copilot/gpt-5.3 and github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6) from ~/.orch/config.yml. This will eliminate persistent WARN noise on every dispatch.
  2. Operator: resolve internal:149337 SSH key issue — restart SSH agent and re-add keys (ssh-add ~/.ssh/default_id_ed25519), or configure orch to use HTTPS for pushes.
  3. Investigate WATCHDOG tick stalls — worktree creation appears to block the tick loop. Consider running worktree setup in a background task rather than inline on the tick.
  4. Monitor job loading from prompts/jobs/*.md (new since yesterday) to confirm jobs are discovered correctly in production without config changes.

Priorities For Today

  1. Operator action: fix internal:149337 — run ssh-add ~/.ssh/default_id_ed25519 to restore SSH agent signing.
  2. Operator action: prune stale opencode model entries from config to eliminate WARN noise.
  3. Monitor LLM routing stability — budget exhaustion fallback was eliminated yesterday; verify round-robin no longer activates unexpectedly.
  4. Investigate WATCHDOG stalls — if stalls continue to 2+ minutes, trace the blocking call in worktree creation.
