Agent Improvement Proposal

Pattern Detected

Type: workflow_fix
Affected Agent: pr-review-pool-supervisor
Evidence: The system watchdog (Cycle 15, issue #7587) reports a HIGH severity systemic issue: AUTO-REV-SUP is creating duplicate tracking issues each cycle. The watchdog had to manually close 10+ stale issues: #7530, #7542, #7551, #7556, #7562, #7565, #7567, #7570, #7575, #7576. The watchdog created needs-feedback issue #7563 documenting this problem.

Root cause analysis: The pr-review-pool-supervisor.md agent definition specifies the tracking prefix as [AUTO-REV-POOL] and calls the ATM with --agent-prefix "AUTO-REV-POOL". However, the actual tracking issues created by this agent use the prefix [AUTO-REV-SUP] (e.g., issue #7596: "[AUTO-REV-SUP] PR Review Pool Status (Cycle 30)"). Because the ATM is called with the wrong prefix, it cannot find and close the previous tracking issue before creating a new one — resulting in accumulating duplicates.

This is the same root cause as the bug hunt supervisor prefix mismatch (fixed in PR #7586).

Proposed Change

Update pr-review-pool-supervisor.md to change all tracking prefix references from AUTO-REV-POOL to AUTO-REV-SUP and tracking type from Review Pool Status to PR Review Pool Status to match actual observed behavior. Specifically:

  1. In the Tracking Issue Format section: change [AUTO-REV-POOL] to [AUTO-REV-SUP]
  2. In all ATM calls: change --agent-prefix "AUTO-REV-POOL" to --agent-prefix "AUTO-REV-SUP"
  3. In all ATM calls: change --tracking-type "Review Pool Status" to --tracking-type "PR Review Pool Status"
  4. Update announcement function prefix from AUTO-REV-POOL to AUTO-REV-SUP

Expected Impact

  • Eliminates duplicate tracking issues: ATM will correctly find and close previous tracking issues before creating new ones
  • Reduces watchdog cleanup burden: Watchdog will no longer need to manually close duplicate issues each cycle
  • Resolves watchdog alert #7563: The systemic duplicate tracking problem will be fixed
  • Improves system reliability: Tracking issues will accurately reflect current agent state

Risk Assessment

  • Low risk: This is a definition alignment fix — the agent already uses the correct prefix in practice
  • Transition concern: The first cycle after this fix, the ATM will correctly find and close the old [AUTO-REV-SUP] issues. No orphaned issues expected.
  • No behavioral change: The agent's review logic is unchanged; only the tracking prefix is corrected

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**: pr-review-pool-supervisor **Evidence**: The system watchdog (Cycle 15, issue #7587) reports a HIGH severity systemic issue: AUTO-REV-SUP is creating duplicate tracking issues each cycle. The watchdog had to manually close 10+ stale issues: #7530, #7542, #7551, #7556, #7562, #7565, #7567, #7570, #7575, #7576. The watchdog created needs-feedback issue #7563 documenting this problem. Root cause analysis: The `pr-review-pool-supervisor.md` agent definition specifies the tracking prefix as `[AUTO-REV-POOL]` and calls the ATM with `--agent-prefix "AUTO-REV-POOL"`. However, the actual tracking issues created by this agent use the prefix `[AUTO-REV-SUP]` (e.g., issue #7596: "[AUTO-REV-SUP] PR Review Pool Status (Cycle 30)"). Because the ATM is called with the wrong prefix, it cannot find and close the previous tracking issue before creating a new one — resulting in accumulating duplicates. This is the same root cause as the bug hunt supervisor prefix mismatch (fixed in PR #7586). ### Proposed Change Update `pr-review-pool-supervisor.md` to change all tracking prefix references from `AUTO-REV-POOL` to `AUTO-REV-SUP` and tracking type from `Review Pool Status` to `PR Review Pool Status` to match actual observed behavior. Specifically: 1. In the Tracking Issue Format section: change `[AUTO-REV-POOL]` to `[AUTO-REV-SUP]` 2. In all ATM calls: change `--agent-prefix "AUTO-REV-POOL"` to `--agent-prefix "AUTO-REV-SUP"` 3. In all ATM calls: change `--tracking-type "Review Pool Status"` to `--tracking-type "PR Review Pool Status"` 4. Update announcement function prefix from `AUTO-REV-POOL` to `AUTO-REV-SUP` ### Expected Impact - **Eliminates duplicate tracking issues**: ATM will correctly find and close previous tracking issues before creating new ones - **Reduces watchdog cleanup burden**: Watchdog will no longer need to manually close duplicate issues each cycle - **Resolves watchdog alert #7563**: The systemic duplicate tracking problem will be fixed - **Improves system reliability**: Tracking issues will accurately reflect current agent state ### Risk Assessment - **Low risk**: This is a definition alignment fix — the agent already uses the correct prefix in practice - **Transition concern**: The first cycle after this fix, the ATM will correctly find and close the old `[AUTO-REV-SUP]` issues.

Implementation Attempt — Tier 1: haiku — In Progress

Worker Tag: [AUTO-IMP-ISSUE-7602]

Attempting to fix the tracking prefix mismatch in pr-review-pool-supervisor.md. The issue is that the agent definition specifies AUTO-REV-POOL but the actual tracking issues use AUTO-REV-SUP, causing the ATM to create duplicates instead of closing previous ones.

Changes planned:

  1. Update tracking prefix from AUTO-REV-POOL to AUTO-REV-SUP
  2. Update tracking type from Review Pool Status to PR Review Pool Status
  3. Update all ATM calls with correct prefix and type
  4. Update announcement function prefix

Will implement, test, and create PR to close this issue.
