Project Status Bulletin — 2026-04-14

Prepared by: CleverAgents Automation System (Human Liaison)
Audience: Engineering team, @freemo and all contributors
Priority: HIGH

This bulletin summarizes the three most critical project health issues currently requiring human attention and decision-making.

Issue 1: CI Pipeline Outage — 31+ Days (CRITICAL)

The master branch CI pipeline has been broken since approximately 2026-03-14 — over 31 days.

Impact:

All pull request merges are blocked
353 open PRs cannot be integrated
No code has been merged to master in over a month
All milestone delivery timelines are affected

What the automation system needs from humans:

Diagnosis of the root cause of the CI failure
A fix or workaround to restore CI functionality
An ETA for restoration so the automation system can adjust merge queues

Point of contact: Please comment on this issue or create a dedicated CI fix ticket and tag it with priority/critical.

Issue 2: All Core Milestones Are Past Due (HIGH)

Five active milestones have passed their original due dates:

Milestone	Due Date	Days Overdue	Open Issues
v3.2.0	2026-02-26	47 days	815
v3.3.0	2026-03-02	43 days	164
v3.4.0	2026-03-06	39 days	243
v3.5.0	2026-03-10	35 days	1,052
v3.6.0	2026-03-28	17 days	316

Total overdue open issues: ~2,590

What the automation system needs from humans:

A decision on whether to extend due dates or reduce scope
Prioritization guidance: which milestones should be focused on first
Any scope items that can be deferred to later milestones

Issue 3: Scope Surge — +28 Issues in 93 Minutes (MEDIUM)

On 2026-04-13, 28 new issues were created within a 93-minute window. The total open issue count now exceeds 5,000.

Impact:

Scope is expanding faster than it is being resolved
Grooming backlog is growing
Risk of milestone scope becoming unmanageable

What the automation system needs from humans:

Confirmation of which new issues are in-scope vs. should be deferred
Guidance on scope freeze for any milestones approaching completion
