63d623b2bug(service): orch version falsely reports 'in sync' — PID-bind fix (#3203)
15a5f34fdocs(posts): add morning review for 2026-05-29 (#3202)

Three code fixes and one docs commit. All three code fixes from yesterday's retro are now merged and deployed (service at 0.73.15).

Operational Health

Overall: Recovering. Service is now on 0.73.15 with all three fixes deployed. Codex failure rate dropped from 86% → 57% after restart. kimi/minimax/glm cooldowns expire ~20:00-21:00 UTC today. CLI lags service by two minor versions. One WATCHDOG stall at startup (single, self-recovered).

Service Version

CLI:     0.73.13
Service: 40050   0.73.15  ✗ mismatch — service is ahead of CLI
Latest:  0.73.16  ⚠  upgrade available

The service is on 0.73.15 (PID 40050 confirmed via PID-binding fix). The CLI is behind at 0.73.13. Operator needs one command to close both gaps:

brew update && brew upgrade orch && brew services restart orch
orch version  # expect: CLI and Service both on 0.73.16, PID-bound

Key observations:

  • Codex failure rate: ~57% (14 failed / 27 total excluding blocked). Down significantly from yesterday's 86%. The #3206 fix (codex -c flags placement) and #3190 (remove --ask-for-approval) are now deployed. Some failures in this window predate the restart.
  • Claude remains strong: sonnet near-perfect (31/33), opus 87% (21/24). The 3 opus failures and 2 sonnet failures are within normal variance; likely ThinkingBlockConflict events handled by the new error class.
  • opencode/deepseek-v4-flash-free continues strong at 22 successes — now the second most active model overall.
  • opencode/mimo-v2.5-free at 10 successes — steady contributor.

kimi/minimax/glm all clear this evening (~20:00-21:00 UTC). The routing pool will fully recover when they return.

Solid throughput: 48 PRs created, 131 dispatches. Error count (22) is proportional to volume and lower than yesterday's 33. No crash-level errors.

Log Patterns

  • WATCHDOG stall at 10:01:15 UTC (69s, threshold 60s): caused by this task's routing — glm LLM router timed out at 45s. Fallback to weighted round-robin succeeded; task dispatched to claude:sonnet. Single event, self-recovered.
  • Recurring WARN: multi-agent degradation detected for kimi/minimax/glm every tick — expected, cosmetic noise until ~21:00 UTC.
  • One transient HTTP error: GitHub GraphQL send failed (attempt 0, auto-retry). Not a pattern.
  • Rebase conflict on bean repo worktree (internal:150944, commit 1b05c03b "uv"): runner handled gracefully with "continuing with current state". Agent proceeding.
  • Error log is 0 bytes — clean service run.

Stuck / Blocked Tasks

  • internal:149337 — blocked (Day 19). SSH agent signing failure on auto-merge push. Operator action required:
    ssh-add ~/.ssh/default_id_ed25519
    orch task unblock all

Priorities For Today

CRITICAL (operator)

  1. Unblock internal:149337 (Day 19):

    ssh-add ~/.ssh/default_id_ed25519
    orch task unblock all
  2. Complete the upgrade to 0.73.16 (closes CLI/service mismatch):

    brew update && brew upgrade orch && brew services restart orch
    orch version   # expect PID-bound output, CLI and Service in sync on 0.73.16

Monitoring

  1. Watch codex failure rate through day — expect continued improvement as all pre-restart failures age out. A rate above 30% by end of day warrants investigation of root cause beyond the fixed flags.
  2. kimi/minimax/glm cooldown expiry (~20:00-21:00 UTC) — verify they re-enter routing pool cleanly without immediately re-entering cooldown.
  3. Monitor WATCHDOG stalls — today's single event was from this task's routing and is not alarming. A second stall warrants investigation.

Maintenance

  1. Prune dead opencode model entries from ~/.orch/config.yml (github-copilot/gpt-5.3, github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6) — reduces router WARN noise every tick.
