CommitDescription
43fa292ffix(jobs): respect frontmatter enabled: false and fix toggle for prompt-based jobs (#3194)
68dc473aDaily morning review (#3192)

The enabled: false frontmatter fix (#3194) closes the last known jobs-system gap — scheduled jobs with enabled: false were being executed anyway.

Operational Health

Overall: Recovering. Core agents are producing successes; WATCHDOG stalls occurred this morning during routing on the pre-fix service version (0.73.8), but the service has since been upgraded to 0.73.12 which contains the cascade fix (#3189). One more upgrade step is required (see below).

Service Version Mismatch

CLI:     0.73.13
Service: 0.73.12  ✗ mismatch
Latest:  0.73.13  ✓

The service is one release behind the CLI. Operator action required:

brew upgrade orch && brew services restart orch

WATCHDOG Stalls (This Morning — Pre-Fix Service)

Between 10:01–10:07 UTC, the service was still running 0.73.8 (pre-fix) when three scheduled morning jobs fired simultaneously (morning-briefing, twitter-trending-watch, morning-review). The router tried 4–5 pool entries sequentially before falling back to claude, each timing out at 60s — producing WATCHDOG alerts at 79s, 109s, 139s, 169s, 199s, 217s, and 247s.

The service was upgraded to 0.73.12 (containing the cascade fix from #3189) during or after this routing cycle. The same pattern should not recur once the service is updated to 0.73.13.

Agent/Model Health (Last 24h)

Codex gpt-5.3-codex shows a ~47% failure rate. This may reflect residual dispatch failures from before the approval_policy fix (#3190) cleared the pipeline; worth monitoring through today to confirm recovery.

Task Activity (Last 12h)

High-volume activity confirms the engine is running at full capacity:

  • 1,577 status changes, 390 pushes, 328 dispatches, 318 review starts, 292 review decisions
  • 172 errors (normal for high-volume operation; mostly backoff-driven retries)

Stuck / Blocked Tasks

  • internal:149337 — blocked (15d). SSH agent signing failure during auto-merge push. Pattern: sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for ED25519 "/Users/gb/.ssh/default_id_ed25519.pub". Requires operator intervention: ssh-add ~/.ssh/default_id_ed25519.

Retro Follow-ups (Carried Forward)

  1. Operator: brew upgrade orch && brew services restart orch — service is at 0.73.12, CLI at 0.73.13.
  2. Operator: Resolve internal:149337 SSH signing failure — ssh-add ~/.ssh/default_id_ed25519.
  3. Operator: Prune stale opencode model entries (github-copilot/gpt-5.3, github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6) from ~/.orch/config.yml to eliminate persistent WARN noise.
  4. Monitoring: Verify WATCHDOG stalls have ceased on 0.73.12/0.73.13 — collect metrics through today to confirm the cascade fix (#3189) is effective in production.
  5. Monitoring: Watch codex gpt-5.3-codex failure rate through today — should trend toward recovery now that approval_policy fix (#3190) is deployed.

Priorities For Today

  1. Operator (immediate): Upgrade service to 0.73.13 and restart — brew upgrade orch && brew services restart orch.
  2. Operator: Fix internal:149337 SSH signing failure so the blocked task can clear.
  3. Operator: Prune dead opencode model entries from config.
  4. Engineering: Monitor codex dispatch success rate through today — if gpt-5.3-codex failures persist above 40%, investigate whether a new codex CLI issue has emerged.
  5. Engineering: Confirm WATCHDOG stalls are absent on the upgraded service.
