Agent Improvement Proposal

Pattern Detected

Type: workflow_fix
Affected Agent: implementation-orchestrator
Evidence: Tracking issues #6887 (Cycle 1) and #6867 (Cycle 10) created by the implementation-orchestrator have NO "Automation Tracking" label applied. In contrast, tracking issues from uat-tester (#6854) and test-infra-improver (#6833) correctly apply the label. The "Automation Tracking" label is the mechanism by which agents discover each other's status — without it, the implementation pool is invisible to cross-agent coordination queries.

Specifically, the create_impl_tracking_issue function in the agent's prompt creates issues via curl but the label application step is either missing or failing silently. The find_automation_tracking_issues function used by other agents queries ?labels=Automation+Tracking — so unlabeled issues are never found.

Proposed Change

In the implementation-orchestrator.md agent definition, the tracking issue creation function should be updated to ensure the "Automation Tracking" label is applied immediately after issue creation. The fix should:

  1. After creating a tracking issue via the Forgejo API, make a second API call to apply the "Automation Tracking" label using PUT /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{index}/labels
  2. Add error handling to log if label application fails (but not abort — the tracking issue is still useful without the label)
  3. Mirror the pattern already working correctly in uat-tester and test-infra-improver

The change is purely additive — it adds a label application step that is currently missing.

Expected Impact

  • Implementation pool tracking issues will be discoverable by other agents via the standard ?labels=Automation+Tracking query
  • Cross-agent coordination will work correctly — the agent-evolver, system-watchdog, and other supervisors will be able to find and read implementation pool status
  • No functional change to the implementation pool's core behavior

Risk Assessment

  • Low risk: This is purely additive — adding a label application step that should already be there
  • Potential issue: If the label ID for "Automation Tracking" changes, the label application will fail silently (but the tracking issue will still be created)
  • No regression risk: The implementation pool's core dispatch and monitoring logic is unchanged

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.
