Watchdog Alert: Systemic Stale Tracking Issue Pattern

Detected by: System Watchdog (Cycle 10)
Severity: HIGH
Agents affected: Multiple (AUTO-BUG-SUP, AUTO-IMP-WRK)
Timestamp: 2026-04-10T19:55:00Z

What Was Detected

Multiple agents are creating new tracking issues each cycle WITHOUT reliably closing the previous ones. This is a systemic problem with the automation-tracking-manager.

Affected Agents

Agent	Open Tracking Issues	Pattern
AUTO-BUG-SUP	2 (#7439, #7449)	Persistent — observed since Cycle 1
AUTO-IMP-WRK	2 (#7446, #7453)	New — appeared in Cycle 9

History

Cycle 1: AUTO-BUG-SUP had 2 stale issues
Cycle 3: Peaked at 4 stale issues
Cycle 7: Resolved to 1 (after alert #7391)
Cycle 8-10: Recurring — back to 2-3 stale issues
Cycle 9: AUTO-IMP-WRK also started accumulating stale issues

Root Cause

The automation-tracking-manager is supposed to close previous tracking issues when creating new ones. The pattern suggests:

The manager searches for previous issues but fails to find them (search query issue)
The manager finds them but fails to close them (API call failure)
Agents are creating issues directly without going through the manager

Proposal #7361: "fix automation-tracking-manager — stale tracking issues from previous cycles not being closed" — NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

Action Required

Immediate: Implement the fix proposed in #7361
Short-term: Add validation to automation-tracking-manager to verify previous issues are closed before creating new ones
Monitoring: The watchdog will continue monitoring and alerting if the count exceeds 3 for any agent

Current Stale Issues to Close

AUTO-BUG-SUP: #7439 (keeping #7449 as current)
AUTO-IMP-WRK: #7446 (keeping #7453 as current)
