🌙 Hive Dream — 2026-09-22

New loops

None. All three mechanical candidates dismissed — see decisions below.

All open loops — age in days (red ≥7d, amber ≥3d)
ryanwalden's agent repeatedly calls cronjob action='show', which doesn't exist
77d
ryanwalden's agent search_files regex patterns repeatedly fail with 'unrecognized escape sequence' (Rust regex vs PCRE escaping)
77d
ryanwalden's agent thrashes vast.ai CLI via --help repeatedly (~98 calls across 2 sessions) despite the vastai-gpu-rental skill already being loaded
77d
Sandbox's default-deny per-domain network egress allowlist repeatedly blocks new research domains until manually added (Apple domains 07-07, Google Play domains 07-08)
76d
aws login --remote device-code flow reliably fails with 'Failed to decode the verification code' due to PTY echo/redraw corruption on the 2000+ char single-line code, blocking fresh AWS CLI auth for ryanwalden
75d
Uncommitted files/state in the live repo checkout or ~/.hermes/ silently vanish when a container/workspace resets, forcing manual reconstruction from session logs -- hit three different agents on three separate incidents
68d
Kanban/dispatcher worker workspaces contain docs/context for multiple unrelated client projects side-by-side (Nothy, Entravia, ProService, Shift Living) with no repo-level or channel-level scoping mechanism -- a worker run on the Entravia AI-ticket-ingestion card pulled in Nothy-specific context; mitigated only with a manual 'SCOPE LOCK' comment on the Kanban card, not a technical fix, so any future card in this shared checkout can hit the same cross-client leakage
64d
copilot_remote(launch) silently blocked whenever a session runs under HERMES_CRON_SESSION (scheduled crons AND self-created cron follow-up check-ins) — agents keep discovering this by trial and error mid-task, not upfront
63d
ryanwalden's agent stalled mid-skill-authoring session (20260725_163333_e48e64eb, building the new 'dagster' skill) after two consecutive completions returned text-only output with no tool call, leaving the user's follow-ups unanswered for the rest of the session
59d
The shared observability aggregator container (rosenblatt-observability-1, services/observability/aggregate.py --loop) silently stopped polling agent session logs after 2026-07-24T14:56 UTC — no crash log, no error, aggregate.log and status.json simply stopped updating for ~3 days, starving hive-dream's nightly scan of any new session data and producing two consecutive false '0 sessions, quiet' briefs (07-25, 07-26) even though 27 and 10 real interactive sessions happened those days respectively. User (justinhromalik) restarted the container manually on 2026-07-27; aggregator is backfilling normally as of 16:04 UTC. No host-level alert caught this — su-refresh-agents.sh's shared-service healthcheck (which already covers rosenblatt-observability-1) evidently wasn't run or wasn't surfaced during the outage window.
57d
eugenecho's agent got stuck in a truncation/continuation loop on a multi-hour AWS-credentials migration task (proservice static creds for gdk-eval-pipeline + psh-propilot-data-sync) -- three separate hermes sessions (155209, 160721, 161058) all ended mid-task with 'response truncated by output length limit' continuation prompts going unanswered, spanning ~2h (19:59-21:55 UTC) without ever reaching a completed handoff to the user
56d
ryanwalden's agent left a Slack thread hanging after a successful call transcription+summary — five follow-up user turns (seismi.co comparison requests, an image, a plain 'hi') between 20:26-22:18 UTC on 07-29 got zero replies in the primary session (513082d6), forcing the user to open two brand-new sessions later to get any response
55d
Org-wide 'Ambiguous skill name' collisions between ~/.hermes/skills/ and .claude/skills/ local/shared copies keep costing agents real turns -- hit andreszabala (skill_view failed 6x/3 sessions on research, hive-kanban, secrets, webhook-subscribe) and ryanwalden (skill_view failed 6x/3 sessions on recall-call-transcription, secrets) again on 08-04/08-05, 7+ days after the same class was first diagnosed on 07-16/07-29 with an existing remediation playbook (hermes-skill-collision-triage) that has never been run fleet-wide
48d
sagefaraday's agent got stuck in a ~6-hour execute_code/read_file retry loop while fixing entravia PR #266 (Census Deduplication review) -- repeatedly read_file'd a wrong path (repos/entravia/src/lib/reducto/smartIngestApply.ts, actually in a worktree) getting 'File not found' 3x in a row, and separately re-asserted the false claim 'PR #266 merged/patch successfully applied' verbatim across many turns before self-correcting each time, only reaching an accurate final status after ~9 repeated corrections
48d
Webhook-triggered PR review sessions misuse vision_analyze by passing GitHub PR URLs as image_url (gets 404) because the sessions lack terminal/skill_view/GitHub API tools — 13 failures across 12 sessions on 08-21, plus 60-min clarify timeouts on each
32d

Closed loops

None.

Aging

No new threshold crossings — all 15 open loops are well past 7d. The three oldest (77d: tool_failing:ryanwalden:cronjob, tool_failing:ryanwalden:search_files, help_thrash:ryanwalden:vastai-cli) haven't been touched since 07-30. skill_collision:org:ambiguous-skill-name is now 48d old, last seen 09-20 — still the highest-leverage fleet-wide fix. network_egress:andreszabala:default-deny-allowlist (76d) recurred today, touching every Entravia session that hits an external API.

Swarm health

No deltas. No cron families active (0 cron sessions — Tuesday, all interactive). No missing crons flagged.

Today's connections

None surfaced.

andreszabala — 13 sessions

Shipped reopen-to-incomplete scope change on Entravia PR #465, delegated to Copilot remote.

Confirmed admin-only reopen guard needed widening to linked brokers, inspected the SECURITY DEFINER RPC and broker_can_assign_application helper, launched a Copilot remote job for the migration + frontend change, then set a pickup cron to check the job status. 166 tool calls in the top session.

Top session: 166 tool calls, ended: ok. Full detail in the .md brief / facts.json (not published here).
