Hive Dream — 2026-09-14

New loops

None. All mechanical candidates were previously-dismissed noise classes (terminal exit!=0 probes during coding, execute_code cron-mode timeouts) or one-off interactive-session failures with no persisting condition.

All open loops — age in days (red ≥7d, amber ≥3d)

ryanwalden's agent repeatedly calls cronjob action='show', which doesn't exist

69d

ryanwalden's agent search_files regex patterns repeatedly fail with 'unrecognized escape sequence' (Rust regex vs PCRE escaping)

69d

ryanwalden's agent thrashes vast.ai CLI via --help repeatedly (~98 calls across 2 sessions) despite the vastai-gpu-rental skill already being loaded

69d

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)

68d

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

67d

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

60d

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

56d

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

55d

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

51d

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.

49d

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

48d

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

47d

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

40d

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

40d

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

24d

Closed loops

None.

Aging

No loops crossed a 3d/7d escalation threshold yesterday. The ledger's 15 open loops continue aging — oldest (tool_failing:ryanwalden:cronjob, tool_failing:ryanwalden:search_files, help_thrash:ryanwalden:vastai-cli) are now 69 days old.

Swarm health

Dead cron family: ryanwalden:dba0a0624a6c last seen 2026-07-09 (expected ~3.5 runs/weekday) — now 67 days silent. This cron has been flagged before; if it's intentionally retired, consider removing the schedule.
Supabase token expired for andreszabala: Both the management API (api.supabase.com) and the hosted MCP endpoint (mcp.supabase.com) return 401 for the SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN in this environment. The agent identified the stale token in agents/andreszabala/.hermes/.env and attempted a swap, but the replacement was also dead. Additionally, the Supabase MCP servers that were configured on Sep 1 have dropped out of config.yaml entirely. This is a one-shot event (first sighting) — if it recurs tomorrow it becomes a ledger loop.

Today's connections

Eugene should talk to Justin about ProService ProPilot onboarding — Eugene spent a session mapping the full repo/service/secrets inventory for Justin's onboarding; Justin had a separate Shift Living proposal review session the same day. If Justin needs ProPilot access or env vars, Eugene's session output is the starting point.
Ryan's Mercury IP-whitelist issue affects Andres too — Ryan hit the same ipNotWhitelisted error on Mercury API that has appeared in prior sessions. The container's outbound IP changed and isn't on Mercury's whitelist. Whoever manages the Mercury dashboard should add the current IP.

Agent spotlight

andreszabala Andres fixed three Entravia bugs and hit a dead Supabase token. justinhromalik Justin reviewed the Shift Living proposal appendix. ryanwalden Ryan ran retainer reconciliation across Entravia and ProService. eugenecho Eugene on-boarded Justin to ProService ProPilot.

andreszabala — 12 sessions

Andres fixed three Entravia bugs and hit a dead Supabase token.

12 sessions: Empower Consulting RFP submission fix, Aspen Associates quote-visibility diagnosis (blocked by expired SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN — 401 on both management API and MCP), and a submitted-RFP upload-locked UI fix on a fresh worktree branch.

Top session: 246 tool calls, ended: ok. Full detail in the .md brief / facts.json (not published here).
