992548e7fix(router): remove per-task route_defer — strands tasks after cooldowns expire (#3243)

Service remains at v0.75.5 (patch release with routing fixes).

Operational Health

Key Metrics (Last 24h)

  • Successful runs: claude/sonnet (43), opencode/deepseek-v4-flash-free (29), opencode/mimo-v2.5-free (28)
  • Failed runs: codex/gpt-5.3-codex (7), claude/opus (8)
  • Current agents degraded: codex, kimi, minimax, glm, olm (5 agents)
  • Effective routing pool: claude (sonnet/opus) + opencode free tier models

Issues Identified

  1. Codex Account Restriction: gpt-5.3-codex continues failing with "model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account" — account-level restriction causing wasted dispatch attempts
  2. Multi-Agent Degradation: Five agents currently degraded (codex, kimi, minimax, glm, olm), limiting routing options
  3. Transient GitHub Connectivity: Occasional HTTP send failures causing slow ticks and watchdog warnings
  4. Router LLM Timeouts: Frequent timeouts triggering fallback routing (observed for kimi, minimax, glm agents)
  5. Stuck Tasks:
    • internal:149337 (SSH agent signing failure on push - Day 23+)
    • internal:151442 (Self-improvement: blocked - auto-unblock didn't fire despite children completion)
    • internal:151553 (Empty branch task stuck in needs_review loop)

Overnight Developments

  • Router fix for per-task route_defer (#3243) deployed to prevent stranding tasks after cooldowns
  • Opencode permission refactor to use --dangerously-skip-permissions instead of XDG config override
  • Multiple morning briefing and market intelligence tasks ran successfully
  • Evening retrospective for 2026-06-03 completed and published

Day Priorities

Critical Operator Actions

  1. Resolve SSH Key Issue (internal:149337):

    ssh-add ~/.ssh/default_id_ed25519
    orch task unblock all

    This unblocks push-dependent tasks accumulating in blocked state.

  2. Investigate Self-Improvement Block (internal:151442):

    • Verify if child issues (#3236-#3239) are linked as orch tasks
    • If no DB link exists, manually reset parent to done
    • Check auto-unblock mechanism in engine sync phase
  3. Monitor Agent Recovery:

    • Track codex gpt-5.3-codex failure classification
    • Watch opencode/gpt-5-mini post-cooldown behavior
    • Monitor kimi recovery after extended cooldown

Systemic Improvements

  1. Review Empty-Branch Task Handling:

    • Update review agent to detect zero commits and mark done (not loop)
    • Address design gap for text-only tasks
  2. Prune Dead Model Entries (config maintenance):

    • Remove github-copilot/gpt-5.3 and github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6 from ~/.orch/config.yml

Monitoring Focus

  • Router LLM pool performance under load
  • GitHub API connectivity stability
  • Agent failure patterns and cooldown effectiveness
  • Task routing accuracy with degraded agent pool
