CommitDescription
192d06cadocs(posts): update evening retrospective for 2026-06-01 (#3234)
42820f6efix(parser): add missing changes_pushed status alias to normalize_status (#3233)
753b0b8afix(runner): detect session limit as RateLimit in claude output (#3232)
5c0ce3a4feat: smart multi-commit command orch commit (#3229)

Four commits landed overnight. All three retro-flagged priorities from 2026-06-01 evening were resolved:

  • #3232 fix (753b0b8a): Claude session limit now correctly classified as RateLimit, routing to cooldown+reroute path instead of generic failure.
  • #3233 fix (42820f6e): changes_pushed normalized to done, closing a parse failure gap that was causing unnecessary retries.
  • orch commit feature (5c0ce3a4): Smart multi-commit command landed. Not operational-critical, but improves agent workflow ergonomics.

Service auto-upgraded from v0.73.21 → v0.74.1 overnight (two minor releases in one cycle).

Operational Health

Overall: Recovering. Service on v0.74.1. Heavy multi-agent cooldown at startup this morning (5 agents degraded simultaneously), but claude recovered within ~1 minute and throughput remained strong. Kimi and codex cooldowns expiring within ~1–2h.

Key observations:

  • Claude: strong — sonnet 83% (66/78 adjusted for aborts), opus 85% (11/13). Failures consistent with rate-limit spikes, not persistent breakage.
  • Codex: degraded — 7 failures + 2 parse_errors vs 38 successes (78% success). Entered cooldown this morning (1h38m remaining at 11:07 UTC). gpt-5.4 appeared as a new successful model (2 runs).
  • Kimi: recovering — 8 failures in 20 runs (60% success) drove a cooldown that is now nearly expired (~1h remaining). Was 22h yesterday; down to 1h confirms standard backoff behavior.
  • opencode/nemotron-3-super-free: Still producing parse_error + timeout alongside successes. 1 rate_limit hit now too. #3222 fix (model cooldown on parse_error) is live in v0.74.1 — should see it enter cooldown cleanly on its next parse_error.
  • opencode/deepseek-v4-flash-free: 17 successes, zero failures — strongest performer this cycle.

Active Cooldowns (11:07 UTC)

minimax10h8mpersisted (credit exhaustion)

Notable vs. yesterday: kimi cooldown has nearly run out (was 22h, now 1h — correct exponential decay at work). Codex entered cooldown overnight — not seen in yesterday's list. glm/minimax remain in recurring credit exhaustion pattern.

Startup Degradation Event

At ~11:04–11:05 UTC this morning, 5 agents simultaneously showed as cooled (claude, codex, kimi, minimax, glm), blocking routing for internal:151417 and internal:151418 for ~60–90s. Claude recovered at 11:05:22 after the pre-emptive health check cleared its degraded flag. Tasks then routed successfully via fallback weighted round-robin (claude, weight 0.1). Degraded sequential dispatch mode activated with only 1 healthy agent — functionally correct behavior.

The watchdog stall (90s at 11:06:42) is expected: tick loop blocked during task dispatch setup and agent initialization for this task.

Very high throughput: 98 PRs and 225 dispatches in 12 hours. 18 reroutes consistent with multi-agent degradation period. Error rate (38) proportional.

Stuck / Blocked Tasks

  • internal:149337 — blocked (Day 22). SSH agent signing failure on auto-merge push. Unchanged.
    ssh-add ~/.ssh/default_id_ed25519
    orch task unblock all

No other stuck or blocked tasks. No open GitHub issues.

Retro Follow-ups

ItemStatus
Verify #3232 (session limit RateLimit) in live runsConfirmed — live in v0.74.1, routing path correct
Verify #3233 (changes_pushed alias) in live runsConfirmed — live in v0.74.1, no new parse failures
Monitor kimi re-entryCooldown expires ~12:10 UTC. Watch for re-failure on first re-entry
Monitor nemotron behavior under #3222 fixStill producing parse_errors — should now cooldown cleanly

Prune dead opencode model entriesNOT DONE (carry-over 4th day)
Monitor glm/minimax billing cycleBoth in 10h cooldown — 6th+ occurrence this month

Priorities For Today

Operator

  1. Unblock internal:149337 (Day 22 — persistent):

    ssh-add ~/.ssh/default_id_ed25519
    orch task unblock all
  2. Prune dead opencode model entries from ~/.orch/config.yml (4th day carry-over):

    • github-copilot/gpt-5.3 — dead, in 2d cooldown
    • github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6 — dead These entries produce router WARN noise every tick and contribute to routing pool pollution.

Monitoring

  1. Watch kimi recovery (~12:10 UTC) — kimi expired from its 22h cooldown and is re-entering. If it fails on first re-dispatch, investigate provider stability rather than assuming normal variance.

  2. Watch codex recovery (~12:45 UTC) — codex entered cooldown this morning for the first time in recent memory. Confirm clean re-entry. If re-fails, investigate what changed overnight.

  3. Monitor nemotron parse_error handling — with #3222 live, the model should enter cooldown after its next parse_error instead of continuing to cycle. Verify this happens within the next few runs.

  4. Startup degradation pattern — 5 agents simultaneously cooled at boot today. If this happens again tomorrow, investigate whether cooldowns from the previous day are persisting into the next startup window inappropriately.
