Critical Findings

❌ P1 Ongoing — Issue Monster (22nd+ consecutive failure period)

Issue Monster is failing 4/4 times in the current window with error_count: 1 per run (avg 1.8m fast-fail). Root cause remains: lockdown: true + missing GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN. Fix is in #17807 (remove lockdown: true) but has not been applied. Issue #17414 closed "not_planned". This is infrastructure noise, not agent quality degradation — but the ~50 failures/day represent significant CI resource waste.

Escalation recommended: #17807 fix should be merged to end this multi-week streak.

⚠️ New Regression — AI Moderator (1 failure + 3 missing-tool reports)

Yesterday AI Moderator scored 94/100 with 2/2 success. Today it shows 1 outright failure and 3 missing-tool reports in 6 runs (50% degraded). Root cause: github.mode: local (Docker) GitHub MCP server is intermittently unavailable in the CI runner environment.

• Run 22361284967: failure (err_count: 1)
• Runs 22361207226, 22359803227, 22358411348: succeeded despite missing GitHub MCP (conservative noop behavior) but reported missing_tool

The AI Moderator's conservative design (completing as success/noop when data is unavailable) masks the issue at the conclusion level. 3/6 runs had no GitHub content to analyze — meaning moderation was skipped silently.

View Behavioral Pattern Analysis

Productive Patterns ✅

• CI Failure Doctor reactive cadence: 3 runs in ~24h indicates active CI failures being correctly caught and investigated. High-value reactive agent.
• AI Moderator conservative design: When GitHub MCP unavailable, agent correctly files noop rather than halting. Reduces blast radius of infrastructure issues.
• Claude agents (conformance, lockfile, refactoring): Consistently higher-quality deep analysis outputs with appropriate turn counts (17-25 turns).
• The Great Escapi: Security boundary maintained — 0 injections found. Clean 6.1m execution.

Problematic Patterns ⚠️

• AI Moderator silent degradation: 3 runs completing as "success" while missing critical GitHub MCP tools. Moderation skipped silently for ~50% of triggers today. No visibility until this analysis.
• Daily Safe Output Tool Optimizer at 14.7m: Outlier in run duration. All other daily agents run 5.5-11m. Should be investigated if trend continues (was 9.1m on 2026-02-21 based on memory data).
• Issue Monster infrastructure waste: 4× 1.8m failure runs = 7.2m wasted CI time today alone (~50 failures/day × 1.8m = 1.5h CI hours/day).

Collaboration Patterns

• Meta-orchestrator coordination working: Workflow Health Manager correctly flagged P1 lockdown (now 4 workflows). Agent Performance detects AI Moderator regression independently.
• No agent conflicts detected in this window.

View Effectiveness & Coverage Metrics

Task Completion Rates (non-infrastructure failures)

• High completion (>85%): CI Failure Doctor (100%), The Great Escapi (100%), Conformance Checker (100%), Lockfile Stats (100%), Chronicle (100%), Team Evolution (100%)
• Medium completion (70-85%): AI Moderator (83%), Daily Copilot PR Report (100%* — but slow), Daily Safe Output Optimizer (100%* — but very slow)
• Failing (infrastructure): Issue Monster (0%)

Run Duration Distribution

• Fast (<7m): AI Moderator (7.6m avg), Slide Deck Maintainer (5.5m), Conformance Checker (5.7m), Great Escapi (6.1m), Chroma Indexer (6.1m)
• Medium (7-10m): CI Failure Doctor (7.4m), Daily Chronicle (6.7m), Team Evolution (7.2m)
• Slow (10-12m): Contribution Check (9.9m), Lockfile Stats (10.1m), Semantic Refactoring (11m), Copilot PR Report (11.9m)
• Very Slow (>12m): Daily Safe Output Tool Optimizer (14.7m)

Coverage Gaps

• No PR quality agents running today (PR Triage Agent: P1 lockdown failure)
• No issue triage agents running (Issue Monster: P1 lockdown failure, Issue Arborist: not triggered)
• Security monitoring: active (Great Escapi)
• Code quality: active (Semantic Refactoring, Conformance Checker)

Recommendations

High Priority

1. Apply [q] fix(workflows): remove explicit lockdown:true to stop recurring failures #17807 fix (Issue Monster / PR Triage / Daily Issues / Org Health lockdown removal)

   • 4 workflows failing, ~50+ failures/day, 1.5h+ CI waste/day
   • Fix is ready — merge unblocks all 4 workflows immediately
   • Status: Fix available, not applied (2+ weeks)

2. Investigate AI Moderator GitHub MCP intermittency

   • 3/6 runs missing GitHub MCP tools (Docker local mode unreliable)
   • Consider adding mode: remote fallback or switching to remote mode
   • Add monitoring: if missing_tool rate >30% in rolling window, alert
   • Impact: ~50% of moderation runs currently doing nothing

Medium Priority

3. Daily Safe Output Tool Optimizer at 14.7m — Monitor for 3 runs; if consistently >12m, investigate for optimization or timeout issues

4. Add AI Moderator missing-tool alerting — Current silent success when GitHub MCP unavailable creates false confidence in moderation coverage
