DeepReport Intelligence Briefing - 2025-12-22

[github-actions[bot]]

🔍 Executive Summary

Reporting cadence remains high with fresh coverage on repo tree maps, dependency quality, static analysis, firewall activity, and prompt/MCP reviews (e.g., #7273, #7251, #7257, #7242, #7238, #7236, #7222). Workflow health is mostly green across the last ~20 runs, but a Weekly Issue Summary failure and two missing-tool incidents (Dev missing GitHub MCP read_issue; Daily Copilot PR Merged missing safeinputs-gh) signal configuration gaps. Issue intake surged (85 created in the last 3 days), driving the open count to 45 despite 66 closures; unlabeled items (19 total, 5 open) risk triage drift.

📊 Pattern Analysis

• Backlog growth: Open issues rose from 21 (12/20) to 45, driven by a creation spike; closure pace is strong but lagging intake.
• Automated visibility expansion: New daily reports cover dependencies, repository topology, issue-linking, static analysis, prompt/MCP health, and documentation checks, increasing observability.
• Localized missing tools: Two distinct workflows hit missing-tool errors (MCP read_issue, safeinputs-gh) while others stay green, suggesting targeted fixes rather than systemic outages.
• Stabilized AI Moderator: Recent runs show multiple successes, contrasting with the failure cluster noted on 12/20.
• Triage quality risk: Unlabeled open issues persist; manual triage hasn’t caught up with the creation burst.

📈 Trend Intelligence

• Workflow stats (last ~20 runs, 7d window): 10 runs, 33.6m total duration, ~2.12M tokens, ~$2.42 cost, 199 errors, 109 warnings, 2 missing-tool incidents. Outcomes: 1 failure (Weekly Issue Summary), 1 cancelled (Tidy), remainder success with several green AI Moderator runs.
• Missing tools: GitHub MCP read_issue absent in Dev; safeinputs-gh missing in Daily Copilot PR Merged.
• Issues (weekly dataset): 232 total; 45 open / 187 closed. Created last 3d: 85; closed last 3d: 66. Unlabeled: 19 total (5 open). Top labels stable: ai-generated 112, plan 112, enhancement 44, documentation 35.
• Discussion cadence (past 48h): Highlights include repository tree map (Repository Tree Map - December 2024 #7273), lock file stats (📊 Agentic Workflow Lock File Statistics - December 22, 2025 #7270), dependency quality (🎯 Repository Quality Improvement Report - Dependencies #7251), issue-linking arborist ([Issue Arborist] Linking opportunities for open issues #7259), static analysis (🔍 Static Analysis Report - December 22, 2025 #7257), firewall (🔥 Daily Firewall Report - December 22, 2025 #7242), prompt analysis (Copilot PR Prompt Analysis - 2025-12-22 #7238), MCP structural review (MCP Structural Analysis - December 22, 2025 #7236), doc noob test (📚 Documentation Noob Test Report - December 22, 2025 #7222), Go type consistency (🔤 Typist - Go Type Consistency Analysis #7235).

🚨 Notable Findings

• Weekly Issue Summary workflow failed in the latest 7d slice—only red mark amid otherwise green runs.
• Two missing-tool incidents identify concrete gaps: GitHub MCP read_issue (Dev) and safeinputs-gh (Daily Copilot PR Merged).
• Issue creation spike (85 in 3d) is outpacing closures, lifting the open count to 45.
• Unlabeled open issues (5) persist, risking misrouting and slowed response.

🔮 Predictions and Recommendations

• If intake stays elevated without triage, open count will keep climbing; prioritize labeling and routing now.
• Patch missing-tool configs immediately to keep Dev and PR reporting flows reliable.
• Harden Weekly Issue Summary workflow with a quick pass on inputs/secrets to restore coverage.
• Maintain MCP-first GitHub access patterns to avoid future firewall/permission denials.

✅ Actionable Agentic Tasks (Quick Wins)

Task 1: Repair Weekly Issue Summary workflow failure

• Description: Investigate the lone failure in the Weekly Issue Summary workflow from the last 7d window; verify required inputs/secrets and rerun to restore weekly reporting.
• Expected Impact: Restores issue summary coverage and keeps weekly analytics current.
• Suggested Agent: Workflow Audit Agent
• Estimated Effort: Medium

Task 2: Add GitHub MCP read_issue capability to Dev workflow

• Description: Resolve the missing-tool error in Dev by adding the GitHub MCP server with read_issue capability (seen in run §20435819459) or adjusting permissions.
• Expected Impact: Eliminates missing-tool interrupts and enables Dev to read repository issues as intended.
• Suggested Agent: MCP Config Agent
• Estimated Effort: Quick

Task 3: Triage unlabeled open issues (5 items)

• Description: Label and route the 5 open unlabeled issues from the weekly dataset (19 unlabeled total) to prevent backlog drift during the current intake spike.
• Expected Impact: Faster triage and clearer ownership during elevated intake.
• Suggested Agent: Issue Arborist
• Estimated Effort: Fast

Plan Created ✅

The DeepReport Intelligence Briefing has been converted into a structured action plan with 1 parent tracking issue and 5 actionable sub-issues:

Parent Issue

Address workflow health and issue triage findings from DeepReport 2025-12-22 - Tracks overall progress

Sub-Issues Created

1. Repair Weekly Issue Summary workflow failure - Restore weekly reporting coverage
2. Add GitHub MCP read_issue capability to Dev workflow - Fix missing-tool error (run #20435819459)
3. Configure safeinputs-gh for Daily Copilot PR Merged workflow - Resolve missing dependency
4. Triage and label 5 unlabeled open issues - Prevent backlog drift during intake spike
5. Document workflow health monitoring runbook - Create reference guide for future incidents

Each sub-issue includes clear objectives, context, approach, and acceptance criteria for SWE agents to execute.

The issues will be automatically linked and can be tracked through the parent issue.
