Critical Issues

1. Duplicate Code Detector - 100% Failure Rate (CRITICAL)

• Severity: Critical
• Impact: Workflow completely non-functional
• Runs: 2 attempts, 2 failures
• Error Pattern: Project '/workspace' not found: Not a valid project name or directory
• Affected Run IDs: 18808429389, 18792011503
• Recommendation: Investigate workspace configuration and project setup for this workflow

2. Multiple Single-Run Failures (MEDIUM)

• Severity: Medium
• Impact: Four workflows failed on their only run in the 24h period
• Affected Workflows:
  • Basic Research Agent (run 18794994832)
  • Daily News (run 18806544215)
  • Technical Documentation Writer (run 18796262358)
  • The Daily Repository Chronicle (run 18786552263)
• Recommendation: Review logs for each workflow to identify root causes

3. High Cancellation Rate on Tidy Workflow (MEDIUM)

• Severity: Medium
• Impact: 25% of Tidy runs are being cancelled (5 out of 20 runs)
• Cancelled Run IDs: 18802795233, 18796189031, 18794968623, 18803681975, 18792879969
• Success Rate: Only 60% when excluding cancellations
• Recommendation: Investigate why Tidy workflow runs are frequently cancelled

Workflows with Reliability Issues

Workflow	Success Rate	Issue
Duplicate Code Detector	0%	100% failure rate - systematic issue
Basic Research Agent	0%	Single run failed
Daily News	0%	Single run failed
Technical Documentation Writer	0%	Single run failed
The Daily Repository Chronicle	0%	Single run failed
Artifacts Summary	33.3%	67% failure rate - reliability issue
Tidy	60%	High cancellation rate (25%)

Error Patterns Detected

Error: Missing Log Path (Smoke Copilot Firewall)

• Pattern: not found: /tmp/gh-aw/.copilot/logs/
• Frequency: Multiple occurrences in run 18810373316
• Severity: Error
• Impact: Workflow failed to parse agent logs
• Recommendation: Verify log path configuration for Copilot Firewall workflow

Error: Project Not Found (Duplicate Code Detector)

• Pattern: Project '/workspace' not found
• Frequency: Consistent across both failed runs
• Severity: Error
• Impact: Complete workflow failure
• Recommendation: Fix workspace/project configuration

Missing Tools Analysis

No missing tools were reported during this audit period. This is excellent news and indicates that all workflows have access to the tools they need.

MCP Server Failures

No MCP server failures were detected during this audit period. All MCP servers are functioning correctly.

Performance Metrics

Note: Metrics collection appears to be incomplete. Token usage, cost, and turn counts are showing as 0 across all runs. This may indicate:

• Metrics are not being properly captured in run summaries
• Metrics collection is disabled or malfunctioning
• Metrics are stored elsewhere and not included in the downloaded logs

Known Metrics from Audited Runs:

• CLI Version Checker (run 18802153054): 631,918 tokens, $0.56 cost, 81 turns
• Duplicate Code Detector (run 18808429389): 31 turns

Comparison to Previous Day (2025-10-25)

Metric	2025-10-25	2025-10-26	Change
Total Runs	9	98	+989%
Success Rate	55.6%	72%	+29.5%
Failed Runs	3	19	+533%
Cancelled Runs	1	7	+600%

Analysis: Significantly higher activity with improved success rate. While absolute failure count increased, the success rate improved substantially, suggesting overall system health is good despite increased load.

Historical Context

Looking at the last 4 audit periods:

Date	Runs	Success Rate	Failures
2025-10-26	98	72%	19
2025-10-25	9	55.6%	3
2025-10-24	43	90.7%	4
2025-10-23 (evening)	52	88%	6
2025-10-23 (morning)	50	94%	3

Trend: Success rate has been volatile, ranging from 55.6% to 94%. Today's 72% is above the recent low but below the historical average of ~85%.

Recommendations

Immediate Actions Required

1. Fix Duplicate Code Detector (Priority: CRITICAL)

   • Investigate workspace/project configuration error
   • Review run logs for runs 18808429389 and 18792011503
   • Test workflow manually to identify root cause

2. Investigate Single-Run Failures (Priority: HIGH)

   • Review Basic Research Agent (run 18794994832)
   • Review Daily News (run 18806544215)
   • Review Technical Documentation Writer (run 18796262358)
   • Review The Daily Repository Chronicle (run 18786552263)

3. Address Tidy Cancellations (Priority: MEDIUM)

   • Investigate why 25% of Tidy runs are cancelled
   • Review if cancellations are intentional or due to timeouts/errors
   • Consider workflow timeout adjustments if needed

4. Improve Artifacts Summary Reliability (Priority: MEDIUM)

   • 67% failure rate suggests systematic issue
   • Review failed runs to identify common patterns

System Improvements

5. Fix Metrics Collection (Priority: MEDIUM)

   • Investigate why token usage, cost, and turn metrics are not being captured
   • Ensure metrics are properly written to run summaries
   • This is critical for cost tracking and performance analysis

6. Monitor Smoke Copilot Firewall (Priority: LOW)

   • Watch for recurring log path issues
   • Verify correct log path configuration

Ongoing Monitoring

7. Track Success Rate Trends

   • Current 72% is acceptable but below historical average
   • Monitor for continued improvement toward 85%+ target

8. Monitor High-Activity Workflows

   • Changeset Generator (21 runs/day) - 85.7% success rate is good
   • Tidy (20 runs/day) - needs improvement (60% success rate)

Next Steps

• Create issues for critical failures (Duplicate Code Detector)
• Review logs for single-run failures
• Investigate Tidy cancellation patterns
• Fix metrics collection system
• Monitor trends over next 24-48 hours
• Re-audit problematic workflows after fixes
