Critical Issues 🚨

Issue #7105: Missing Compiled Lock Files (P0)

• Status: 48 workflows (28%) cannot execute - missing .lock.yml files
• Error: Workflows need compilation from .md to .lock.yml to run
• Impact:
  • Nearly 1/3 of workflows non-functional
  • Campaign specs may be blocked
  • Gaps in automation coverage
• Action: Issue 🚨 P0: 48 Workflows Missing Compiled Lock Files #7105 created with detailed analysis
• Priority: P0 - Critical

Known Missing Lock Files:

1. go-file-size-reduction.campaign.md - Campaign specification
2. go-file-size-reduction-project64.campaign.md - Campaign specification

Note: Some may be intentionally uncompiled (templates, specs, shared includes)

Warnings ⚠️

Warning: Cannot Access GitHub API

Issue: The gh CLI is not authenticated in this environment

• Impact: Cannot query workflow run history, success rates, or error patterns
• Limitation: Health assessment based on static analysis only
• Recommendation: Future runs should use GitHub MCP server with authentication to:
  • Query workflow run statuses
  • Analyze failure patterns
  • Calculate success rates
  • Identify cascading failures

Warning: Limited Runtime Metrics

Issue: Unable to gather runtime performance data

• Cannot measure execution times
• Cannot track API quota usage
• Cannot identify timeout-prone workflows
• Cannot calculate MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)

Healthy Patterns ✅

Strong Safe Output Adoption

• 128+ workflows (75%) use safe-outputs system
• Workflows properly constrained with max limits
• Good separation between staged and production operations
• Examples:
  • workflow-health-manager.md: 10 create-issue, 15 add-comment, 5 update-issue
  • campaign-manager.md: 5 create-issue, 10 add-comment, 3 create-discussion, 20 update-project
  • agent-performance-analyzer.md: 5 create-issue, 2 create-discussion, 10 add-comment

Meta-Orchestrator Architecture

3 coordinating meta-orchestrators with shared memory:

1. Workflow Health Manager (this workflow)

   • Monitors all workflows
   • Tracks compilation status
   • Creates maintenance issues

2. Campaign Manager

   • Oversees active campaigns
   • Manages campaign project boards
   • Coordinates campaign workflows

3. Agent Performance Analyzer

   • Analyzes agent output quality
   • Detects behavior patterns
   • Recommends improvements

Shared memory: /tmp/gh-aw/repo-memory-default/memory/meta-orchestrators/

• Enables cross-orchestrator coordination
• Prevents duplicate issues
• Shares insights and alerts

Good Engine Diversity

• Copilot majority (~47%): Fast, integrated, GitHub-native
• Claude presence (~18%): Complex reasoning, analysis tasks
• Codex available (~6%): Specialized code tasks
• Custom support (~3%): Extensibility for future needs

Systemic Issues

Issue: Incomplete Compilation Coverage

• Affected workflows: 48 workflows without .lock.yml files
• Pattern: Nearly 30% of workflows not compiled
• Root cause candidates:
  • Build process not run after file additions
  • Compilation errors not caught in development
  • Campaign specs intentionally left uncompiled
  • Shared includes don't need compilation
• Recommendation:
  1. Run make recompile to regenerate all lock files
  2. Add CI check to detect missing lock files
  3. Document which workflows are specs vs. executables
  4. Implement pre-commit hook for automatic compilation
• Action: Tracked in issue 🚨 P0: 48 Workflows Missing Compiled Lock Files #7105

Issue: No Runtime Monitoring Available

• Affected workflows: All 171 workflows
• Pattern: Cannot access workflow run history via gh CLI
• Impact:
  • No failure rate tracking
  • No performance metrics
  • No error pattern analysis
  • No cascading failure detection
• Recommendation:
  1. Configure GitHub MCP server with appropriate authentication
  2. Enable workflow run queries in future health checks
  3. Implement runtime metrics collection
  4. Add alerting for high-failure workflows
• Priority: P1 - High (blocks full health assessment)

Recommendations

High Priority (P0-P1)

1. Fix compilation gaps (P0)

   • Run make recompile immediately
