Detailed Error Analysis

Critical Issues

1. Smoke Codex: TOML Parse Error (CRITICAL)

Status: 🔴 All runs failing
Failure Rate: 100% (9 out of 9 runs)
Error Message: TOML parse error at line 30, column 104-109

Affected Runs:

• §18996415568
• §19000564081
• §19003337872
• §19008222138
• §19011963643
• §19016079050
• §19018648907
• §19018854749
• §19020222807

Root Cause: Configuration syntax error in Codex engine TOML file at line 30. The error consistently appears at columns 104-109, indicating a specific character or formatting issue.

Impact: Complete failure of Codex smoke testing capability.

Recommendation:

• Immediately inspect the TOML configuration file for Codex engine
• Check for invalid characters, escaping issues, or formatting problems around line 30
• Validate TOML syntax with a linter before deploying

---

2. Smoke OpenCode: Complete Engine Failure (CRITICAL)

Status: 🔴 All runs failing
Failure Rate: 100% (7 out of 7 runs)
Error Message: Binary log format prevents detailed analysis

Affected Runs:

• §18940217849
• §18996525522
• §19000641580
• §19008298623
• §19012057844
• §19016148403
• §19020555140

Root Cause: Unknown - logs are in binary format which prevents automatic analysis.

Impact: Complete failure of OpenCode smoke testing capability.

Recommendation:

• Investigate OpenCode engine configuration and initialization
• Check for missing dependencies or API endpoint issues
• Fix log format to enable proper debugging
• Consider temporarily disabling if unrecoverable

---

3. Scout: MCP Server Connection Failures (HIGH)

Status: 🟠 All runs failing
Failure Rate: 100% (4 out of 4 runs)
Failed MCP Servers: deepwiki, context7

Affected Runs:

• §18925336478
• §18952935470
• §18998809592
• §19013516653

Root Cause: The Scout workflow depends on deepwiki and context7 MCP servers which consistently fail to connect.

Impact: Scout workflow is completely non-functional for research tasks.

Recommendation:

• Verify MCP server endpoints and credentials
• Check if these services are still operational
• Consider removing these servers from configuration if deprecated
• Add fallback logic to handle MCP server failures gracefully

---

4. Daily Repository Chronicle: Workflow Timeout (HIGH)

Status: 🟠 Timeout
Error Message: The action 'Execute GitHub Copilot CLI' has timed out after 20 minutes

Affected Run:

• §18978112276

Root Cause: Workflow complexity exceeds 20-minute timeout limit.

Impact: Daily repository analysis not completing.

Recommendation:

• Profile workflow to identify bottlenecks
• Optimize data fetching and processing logic
• Consider increasing timeout limit if optimization isn't sufficient
• Break into smaller, parallelizable sub-tasks

---

Medium Severity Issues

5. Daily Firewall Logs Collector: JSON Parse Error

Status: 🟡 Isolated failure
Failure Rate: 1 run failed

Affected Run:

• §18995091816

Error Message: Unexpected token 'E', "Error: exi"... is not valid JSON

Recommendation: Add better validation and error handling for malformed firewall log data.

Performance Metrics

Note: Token usage and cost metrics were not captured in the analyzed runs (all reported as 0). This may indicate a metrics collection issue that should be investigated separately.

---

Historical Context

Comparing with previous audit (2025-11-02):

• Smoke Codex TOML error: Ongoing issue since 2025-11-01
• Smoke OpenCode failures: Ongoing issue since 2025-10-30
• Scout MCP failures: Escalated from 2 servers to consistent pattern
• Overall success rate: Declined from ~75% to 71.30%

Recommendations

Immediate Actions (Critical Priority)

1. Fix Smoke Codex TOML Configuration

   • Inspect and correct TOML syntax error at line 30
   • Run TOML linter to validate configuration
   • Test locally before deploying

2. Investigate Smoke OpenCode Failures

   • Enable proper logging (fix binary log issue)
   • Check OpenCode engine dependencies and API endpoints
   • Consider temporarily disabling if unrecoverable

3. Resolve Scout MCP Server Issues

   • Verify deepwiki and context7 server availability
   • Update or remove deprecated MCP servers
   • Implement graceful fallback for MCP failures

Short-term Actions (High Priority)

4. Optimize Daily Repository Chronicle

   • Profile and optimize workflow execution
   • Consider timeout increase or workflow decomposition

5. Improve Error Monitoring

   • Investigate why token/cost metrics are not being captured
   • Add alerts for workflows with 100% failure rates

Monitoring

6. Workflows to Watch
   • Changeset Generator (66.67% failure rate)
   • Tidy (18.18% failure rate - acceptable but monitor)
