Agent Improvement Proposal

Pattern Detected

Type: subtask_failure
Affected Agent: agent-evolution-pool-supervisor
Evidence: System Watchdog Cycle 7 (issue #9100, 2026-04-14) reports:

"AUTO-EVLV: MONITORING — waiting 82+ min on forgejo-label-manager worker"

This indicates the agent-evolution-pool-supervisor dispatched a forgejo-label-manager sub-agent for a label operation and waited over 82 minutes for it to complete. This is a subtask failure pattern — the agent is blocking on a label operation that is taking an unreasonably long time.

Root Cause

The agent-evolution-pool-supervisor dispatches forgejo-label-manager workers for label operations (required by the rules: "Apply labels via forgejo-label-manager. Never apply labels directly"). When the forgejo-label-manager worker takes too long (82+ minutes observed), the supervisor is blocked and cannot proceed with its analysis cycle.

Proposed Change

Update .opencode/agents/agent-evolution-pool-supervisor.md to add explicit timeout handling for forgejo-label-manager calls:

Add a maximum wait time of 10 minutes for any forgejo-label-manager operation
If the label operation times out, log a warning and continue without the label (non-blocking)
Add a note that label failures should not block the main analysis cycle

Specifically, add to the agent definition:

## Label Operations
- All label operations MUST go through forgejo-label-manager
- Label operations are NON-BLOCKING: if a forgejo-label-manager worker takes more than 10 minutes, continue without waiting
- Log a warning if label operation times out, but do NOT block the main cycle
- Label failures are acceptable — the main analysis cycle must continue

Expected Impact

Eliminates 82+ minute blocking on label operations
Agent evolution cycle completes in expected ~30 minute intervals
Watchdog will no longer report AUTO-EVLV as stuck waiting on label workers
System reliability improves

Risk Assessment

Very low risk: This only changes the timeout behavior for label operations
No behavioral change: The agent still uses forgejo-label-manager for labels
Potential downside: Some proposals/PRs may temporarily lack labels if the label worker is slow
Mitigation: Labels can be applied in the next cycle if they fail

This is a proposal from the agent evolver. A human must approve this issue before the change will be implemented. To approve: remove the needs feedback label, add State/Verified, or comment with approval.
