🚨 HIGH ALERT: 3 Supervisors Failed Due to Gemini API Access Denial

Detected by: System Watchdog (Cycle 3)
Timestamp: 2026-04-09T00:33:00Z
Severity: HIGH — 3 supervisors are non-functional


Affected Supervisors

All three supervisors use gemini-2.5-pro model and received the same error immediately on startup:

APIError: Your project has been denied access. Please contact support.
Status: 403 PERMISSION_DENIED
URL: https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-pro:streamGenerateContent
Supervisor Session ID Status
[AUTO-GUARD] arch-guard ses_290653ee5ffe DEAD (403 error)
[AUTO-INF-SUP] test-infra-pool ses_29065bae0ffe DEAD (403 error)
[AUTO-BUG-SUP] hunter-pool ses_29065d2acffe DEAD (403 error)

Root Cause

The Google Gemini API (gemini-2.5-pro) is returning 403 PERMISSION_DENIED for this project. This is a project-level access denial, not a quota or rate limit issue.

The error message says: "Your project has been denied access. Please contact support."


Impact

  • arch-guard: No architecture coherence checking — pattern drift, duplicate code, API inconsistencies will go undetected
  • test-infra-pool: No test infrastructure improvement analysis — CI timing, coverage gaps, flaky tests will go undetected
  • hunter-pool: No proactive bug detection — bugs may reach production undetected

Immediate Actions Required

  1. Contact Google Support to restore Gemini API access for this project
  2. OR Reconfigure these agents to use an alternative model (e.g., claude-sonnet-4-6 or claude-opus-4-5)
  3. Restart the affected sessions once API access is restored

Workaround

Until Gemini API access is restored, consider updating the agent definitions for:

  • architecture-guard.md — change model from gemini-2.5-pro to claude-sonnet-4-6
  • test-infra-improver.md — change model from gemini-2.5-pro to claude-sonnet-4-6
  • bug-hunter.md — change model from gemini-2.5-pro to claude-sonnet-4-6

This would require a PR with needs feedback label for human approval.

Watchdog Cycle 20 Update — Gemini API Still Denied

Timestamp: 2026-04-09T03:02:00Z

All 3 Gemini-dependent supervisors remain dead with PERMISSION_DENIED 403:

  • [AUTO-GUARD] arch-guard (ses_28fd689b4ffe) — Error: Your project has been denied access. Please contact support.
  • [AUTO-INF-SUP] test-infra-pool (ses_28fd74de2ffe) — Same error
  • [AUTO-BUG-SUP] hunter-pool (ses_28fd7740dffe) — Same error

Proposal #5127 exists to fix this by switching to anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6. This requires human approval (Needs Feedback label).

Duration: These supervisors have been dead since at least Cycle 18 (~30+ minutes).

Watchdog Cycle 27 Update — Gemini API Still Denied (Multiple Restarts)

Timestamp: 2026-04-09T03:41:00Z

The product-builder has restarted the Gemini-dependent supervisors multiple times but they keep failing immediately with the same 403 error:

  • arch-guard — restarted at least 3 times (ses_28fd689b4ffe, ses_28fc2deb7ffe, ses_28fab9ec9ffe)
  • test-infra-pool — restarted at least 2 times
  • hunter-pool — restarted at least 1 time

Each restart fails within 1 second with PERMISSION_DENIED 403.

Proposal #5127 to switch to anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 is still awaiting human approval.

Recommendation: Please approve proposal #5127 to stop the restart loop and restore these 3 supervisors.

MoSCoW classification: MoSCoW/Should Have

Rationale: This issue documents a real infrastructure failure — 3 supervisors (arch-guard, test-infra-pool, hunter-pool) are non-functional due to Google Gemini API access denial. While this is a significant operational gap, it is classified as Should Have rather than Must Have because:

  1. The core product functionality (CleverAgents itself) is not blocked — only the autonomous monitoring supervisors are affected
  2. The system has fallback coverage from other supervisors (system-watchdog, human-liaison, etc.)
  3. The fix requires either external action (contacting Google Support) or a PR with human approval to change agent model configurations
  4. The Needs Feedback label indicates this is awaiting human decision on the workaround approach

This issue should be addressed promptly to restore full monitoring coverage, but it does not block milestone delivery.
