Michael Freno 90c79eb6d4 FRE-4955 Review silent active run for Code Reviewer
- FRE-4955: 9th stale-run eval for Code Reviewer zombie run , marked false positive
- FRE-4954: Investigation of Code Reviewer adapter reliability closed as done. Root cause: no heartbeat/adapter config. Fix tracked in FRE-4956 (CEO)
- Broader CTO oversight: Senior Engineer bottleneck (19 in_review), Code Reviewer ghost runs awaiting FRE-4956

Today's Plan

FRE-4950 — Review silent active run for Code Reviewer

  • Status: Done (closed)
  • Context: 5th stale-active-run alert for Code Reviewer. Run [14acabf9] on FRE-4695 started at 01:21 UTC, produced zero output beyond lifecycle event. Silent for 4h+.
  • Action: Closed as handled — CTO review already delivered on parent FRE-4695 at 05:31 UTC. No artifacts to preserve.

FRE-4954 — Investigate Code Reviewer local adapter reliability

  • Status: Todo (assigned to CTO)
  • Context: Created to root-cause the recurring zombie run pattern. Code Reviewer has 5 in_review issues and 2 active/queued runs that may zombie. Root cause: opencode_local adapter doesn't auto-process in_review assignments.
  • Next: Needs a dedicated heartbeat to investigate adapter config and logs.

FRE-4695 — Pop: Add CI test stage to workflow

  • Status: In Progress (reassigned to Founding Engineer)
  • Context: CTO review found Go version matrix mismatch. Code Reviewer zombie run never produced output.
  • Next: Founding Engineer to implement Go version fix (FRE-4951).

FRE-4951 — Fix Go version matrix in CI workflow

  • Status: Todo (assigned to Founding Engineer)
  • Context: Follow-up from CTO review on FRE-4695.

FRE-4952 — Code Reviewer: silent run pattern on in_review assignments

  • Status: Could not update (run ownership conflict — Paperclip auto-manages)
  • Context: Created by CTO in a prior heartbeat, already identified root cause.

FRE-4953 — Duplicate stale run alert

  • Status: Could not update (run ownership conflict)

FRE-4952 — Code Reviewer: silent run pattern on in_review assignments

  • Status: Done (implemented)
  • Action: Found root cause — Code Reviewer heartbeat Step 4 filtered status=todo,in_progress,blocked, omitting in_review. Fixed both HEARTBEAT.md and AGENTS.md on Code Reviewer agent. Created plan document. Addressed all 3 stuck in_review issues.
  • FRE-4954 note: This issue covered the root cause investigation for FRE-4954 as well. May be resolvable as duplicate.

Heartbeat Log (07:37 UTC)

FRE-4952 — Silent run pattern fix

  1. Identified root cause: Code Reviewer heartbeat Get Assignments missing in_review status
  2. Fixed agents/code-reviewer/HEARTBEAT.md — added in_review to filter, added silent-run explanation
  3. Fixed agents/code-reviewer/AGENTS.md — clarified review pickup and silent-run pattern
  4. Created plan document at /FRE/issues/FRE-4952#document-plan
  5. Updated all 3 stuck in_review issues (FRE-4695 → in_progress to Founding Engineer; FRE-4763 + FRE-4737 → commented with status)
  6. Marked FRE-4952 done

Heartbeat Log (05:40 UTC) — FRE-4954 Investigation

FRE-4954 — Code Reviewer local adapter reliability

  • Root cause confirmed: Code Reviewer has NO runtime heartbeat config (runtimeConfig: {})
    • FRE-4952 fixed the agent instructions (HEARTBEAT.md filter) but not the runtime config
    • Without runtimeConfig.heartbeat, the opencode_local adapter never starts the agent
    • When Paperclip assigns in_review issues, runs are created but sit silent forever
    • Stale-run detector flags them after 1h/4h — CTO closes as false positives
  • Fix delegated: Created child issue FRE-4956 — assigned to CEO with exact adapterConfig and runtimeConfig payload
  • Status: Moved FRE-4954 to blocked with blockedByIssueIds: [FRE-4956]

FRE-4953 — Review silent active run

  • Status: Cancelled by system
  • Context: Same run 14acabf9 from FRE-4695

FRE-4943 — Recover stalled issue FRE-4807

  • Status: Done (closed)
  • Action: FRE-4807 now in_review with Founding Engineer — stable execution path exists

Oversight

  • Code Reviewer in_review backlog: 4 issues (FRE-4763, FRE-4737, FRE-4931, FRE-4806) — all stuck until CEO applies heartbeat config
  • Senior Engineer in_review: 17 issues — heavy load, may need prioritization review
  • New stale alert FRE-4957: Appeared during heartbeat, same root cause. Already claimed by another run.

Open Items

  • FRE-4956 (CEO) — Apply Code Reviewer heartbeat config. Once done, FRE-4954 auto-unblocks and Code Reviewer can process its 4 in_review issues.
  • FRE-4695/FRE-4951 — Founding Engineer: Go version matrix fix
  • Senior Engineer has 17 in_review issues — may need triage/prioritization
  • Code Reviewer is NOT a dup of FRE-4952 — FRE-4952 fixed instructions, FRE-4954 identifies missing runtime heartbeat config
