Description

Overview

Period: 2026-06-11 18:02 UTC to 2026-06-12 02:14 UTC (~8.2 hours)
Runs analyzed: 50 (39 had token data โ€” 78% coverage โ†‘ from 60% yesterday; 18 had AIC data โ€” 36%)
Total tokens: 6,243K across all workflows
Total AIC: 648.94 (partial โ€” 18/50 runs have AIC data; recent runs pending)
Total Actions minutes: 409 min | Total turns: 114 | Total errors: 13

โš ๏ธ Smoke Claude failure rate worsened โ€” 12/16 runs failed (75%), up from 56% yesterday. All failing runs hit exactly 4 turns with ~191โ€“193K tokens. This persistent pattern needs urgent investigation.

โœ… Contribution Check fully recovered โ€” 0/17 failures today vs 4/16 yesterday. Token usage stable at ~122K/run.

โœ… Security Guard improved โ€” 1/17 failures (6%) vs 4/17 yesterday. 11/17 runs exited early (no tokens = guard correctly noop-ing on non-security-relevant PRs).

i๏ธ Documentation Maintainer โ€” appeared yesterday (1 run, failed). No runs today.

โ€  Security Guard avg over 6 data-bearing runs; 11/17 exits were early-exit noops (0 tokens โ€” expected behavior).


๐Ÿ” Optimization Opportunities

  1. Smoke Claude โ€” 75% failure rate (>> 30% threshold), avg 188K tokens/run (> 100K threshold)

    • 11 of 12 failing runs hit exactly 4 turns with ~191โ€“193K tokens โ€” highly deterministic failure signature
    • One run succeeded with 4 turns ([aw] Security Guard failedย #4459), ruling out a hard turn limit as the cause
    • Pattern persists across multiple PR branches by the same actor (lpcox) and has worsened day-over-day
    • Recommendation: Examine what happens at turn 4 โ€” look at the agent's last tool call or error message. Check if a specific workflow step or tool is timing out or returning a blocking error.
  2. Contribution Check โ€” avg 122K tokens/run (> 100K threshold), 13/17 runs have missing_data_count=1

    • Every run triggering safeoutputs missing_data suggests the workflow depends on data that is regularly unavailable
    • Recommendation: Investigate which missing_data call is firing โ€” if it's expected (e.g., no prior issue found), consider suppressing it or treating as a noop signal.
  3. Security Guard (active runs) โ€” avg 194K tokens/run over 6 data-bearing runs (> 100K threshold)

    • Runs that do engage use almost as many tokens as Smoke Claude despite a narrower scope
    • Two runs used 261Kโ€“274K tokens (5 turns each)
    • Recommendation: Review high-turn Security Guard runs to see if they're doing redundant analysis.

Per-Workflow Details

Smoke Claude

Contribution Check

  • Runs: 17 (all successful)
  • Total tokens: 2,071K (avg 122K/run) โ€” extremely consistent (121Kโ€“123K range)
  • AIC: 235.28 (8 runs with data, avg 13.84/run)
  • Turns: 34 total (avg 2.0/run โ€” consistent 2-turn pattern)
  • Action minutes: 107 min
  • Missing data: 13/17 runs called safeoutputs missing_data once
  • Error rate: 0/17 โœ…

Security Guard

  • Runs: 17 total; 6 with token data, 11 early-exit (0 tokens)
  • Total tokens (data-bearing runs): 1,166K (avg 194K over 6 runs; avg 69K over all 17)
  • AIC: 153.47 (4 runs with data, avg 9.03/run)
  • Turns: 20 total (avg 1.2/run incl. zero-turn noops)
  • Action minutes: 87 min
  • Token breakdown:

  • Error rate: 1/17 (6%)
Runs Without Token Data

11 Security Guard runs exited early with no token usage โ€” this is expected behavior when the guard determines no security-relevant changes are present. These runs are not instrumentation gaps.

* AIC comparison unreliable: today's AIC is from 18/50 runs (recent runs lack AIC data), vs yesterday's coverage. Overall cost trend unclear until full AIC data is available.

Key observations:

  • Smoke Claude degradation is accelerating (4th consecutive day with high failure rate; severity increasing)
  • Contribution Check and Security Guard have both recovered significantly
  • Token usage increased despite fewer overall failures โ€” likely driven by more Smoke Claude runs
