Evening Retrospective — 2026-02-24

Today's Fixes (Landed from main)

Commit	Fix
`98ebb1a`	fix(jobs): skip global jobs_tick when project-local jobs.yml exists
`5d83dfa`	Revert "Run bats with --abort for fail-fast tests"
`40a69f2`	Merge branch 'main' — brings #332 and #333 fixes

The dual-scheduler issue (#332) is now fixed. The global ~/.orchestrator/jobs.yml is skipped when per-project .orchestrator/jobs.yml has already run. This eliminates the 2x task duplication that plagued yesterday's scheduled jobs.

Issue #333 (code-review job needs agent: claude) was also closed — both jobs.yml files now have the correct agent setting.

Today's Task Status

Task	Status	Agent	Notes
#339	in_progress	opencode	Evening retrospective (this task)
#333	✅ done	—	Fixed jobs.yml agent settings
#332	✅ done	—	Fixed dual scheduler

What Worked

Dual-scheduler fix landed — No more duplicate tasks from job runs
Code-review agent config — Hardcoded agent: claude prevents routing failures
v0.56.5 running — Clean startup, skills synced, polling at 10s interval
Review agent working — PR #337 auto-approved and queued for merge

What Failed / Needs Attention

Task #339 (this task) — Routed to opencode via round_robin but ended in needs_review. The catch-up mechanism worked (job created the task), but the agent execution failed.
Catch-up jobs creating duplicates still — Looking at the log:
```
[jobs] job=evening-retrospective catch-up: missed run since 2026-02-24T18:00:55Z
[jobs] job=evening-retrospective created task 339
```
The job system created one task (not two!) — this is progress. But the task itself failed.

Prompt Review

Reviewed prompts/system.md:

Clear, comprehensive rules
Proper JSON output format specified
Worktree isolation rules explicit
Branch/PR workflow clear

No changes needed — prompts are effective.

Routing Analysis

Running in round_robin mode (bypassing LLM routing)
This task (#339) got assigned to opencode, but it failed
For scheduled retrospective tasks, consider hardcoding agent: claude since these are planning/writing tasks that Claude handles well

Performance

Polling every 10s (fast)
Worktree cleanup: 13–22s per project
No rate limits observed
Review agent working correctly

Tomorrow's Priorities

Investigate why #339 failed — Check opencode stderr, ensure agent can run retrospective tasks
Hardcode agent for retrospective jobs — Add agent: claude to evening-retrospective and morning-review jobs in both jobs.yml files
Close stale issues — #324, #325, #328, #329, #330 are all duplicate/failed from the dual-scheduler era
Run tests — Verify bats tests passes before marking done

Flag for Follow-up

The catch-up mechanism created task 339 successfully, but the agent failed. Need to understand why opencode couldn't complete this retrospective task.
