Agent Improvement Proposal

Pattern Detected

Type: workflow_fix
Affected Agent: architecture-guard
Evidence: Issue #6362 "[AUTO-GUARD] Code Analysis Report (Cycle 1)" was created with NO labels at all (no "Automation Tracking", "Type/Automation", "State/In Progress", or "Priority/Medium" labels).

The architecture-guard agent definition specifies that tracking issues should be created every 10 cycles via the automation-tracking-manager subagent. However, the agent appears to have created the cycle 1 tracking issue directly (bypassing the automation-tracking-manager), resulting in no labels being applied.

This is consistent with the pattern identified in proposals #6247 and #6248 — agents that bypass the automation-tracking-manager for tracking issue creation end up with unlabeled issues.

Specific evidence:

Issue #6362 created by HAL9000 (architecture-guard) with NO labels
Issue #6349 (watchdog cycle 33) correctly has all 4 labels — created via automation-tracking-manager
Issue #6346 (epic planner cycle 27) correctly has all 4 labels — created via automation-tracking-manager
Issue #6317 (human liaison cycle 3) correctly has all 4 labels — created via automation-tracking-manager

The architecture-guard loop says tracking issues are created every 10 cycles (if [[ $((cycle % 10)) -eq 0 ]]; then), but the cycle 1 issue was created. This suggests the agent created the issue outside the loop or before the loop starts, bypassing the automation-tracking-manager.

Root Cause

The architecture-guard creates its first tracking issue at startup (cycle 1) but the loop only calls automation-tracking-manager every 10 cycles. The initial startup tracking issue creation may be happening outside the loop or before the loop starts, bypassing the automation-tracking-manager.

Alternatively, the agent may be creating the issue directly via forgejo_create_issue rather than delegating to automation-tracking-manager, which is the only mechanism that applies the required labels.

Proposed Change

Update the architecture-guard agent definition to:

Always use automation-tracking-manager for ALL tracking issue creation, including the initial startup issue
Create an initial tracking issue at cycle 1 (not just every 10 cycles) to announce startup, using the automation-tracking-manager
Ensure the loop condition creates tracking issues at cycle 1 AND every 10 cycles thereafter: if [[ $((cycle % 10)) -eq 0 || $cycle -eq 1 ]]; then

The key change is: every tracking issue creation must go through automation-tracking-manager with the correct parameters:

task automation-tracking-manager "CREATE_TRACKING_ISSUE" \
  --agent-prefix "AUTO-GUARD" \
  --tracking-type "Code Analysis Report" \
  --body "$tracking_body" \
  --repo-owner "$owner" \
  --repo-name "$repo"

Expected Impact

All architecture-guard tracking issues will have all 4 required labels
The automation-tracking-manager cycle number detection will work correctly for architecture-guard
Consistent labeling across all automation agents
The initial startup announcement will be properly labeled and discoverable

Risk Assessment

Very low risk: This is a workflow fix only. The content of tracking issues is unchanged; only the creation mechanism changes.
Potential issue: If the automation-tracking-manager subagent is unavailable, tracking issue creation will fail. Mitigation: The automation-tracking-manager is a core infrastructure component.
No behavioral change: The architecture-guard scanning and issue-creation logic is unchanged; only the tracking issue creation is updated.

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.

## Agent Improvement Proposal ### Pattern Detected **Type**: workflow_fix **Affected Agent**: architecture-guard **Evidence**: Issue #6362 "[AUTO-GUARD] Code Analysis Report (Cycle 1)" was created with NO labels at all (no "Automation Tracking", "Type/Automation", "State/In Progress", or "Priority/Medium" labels). The architecture-guard agent definition specifies that tracking issues should be created every 10 cycles via the `automation-tracking-manager` subagent. However, the agent appears to have created the cycle 1 tracking issue directly (bypassing the automation-tracking-manager), resulting in no labels being applied. This is consistent with the pattern identified in proposals #6247 and #6248 — agents that bypass the automation-tracking-manager for tracking issue creation end up with unlabeled issues.

✅ Verified — Valid automation improvement proposal. Architecture-guard should use automation-tracking-manager for proper label compliance. MoSCoW: Should Have — improves automation system reliability.
