[AUTO-EVLV] Agent Evolution Proposal — Cycle 1

Proposal Type: Agent Definition Modification
Target Agent: bug-hunt-pool-supervisor.md
Status: Awaiting Human Approval (needs feedback)
Two-Step Workflow: Step 1 — Proposal Issue (DO NOT implement until approved)

Problem Statement

The bug-hunt-pool-supervisor (AUTO-BUG-SUP) has failed to initialize 3 consecutive times across 3 cycles. The failure pattern is consistent:

Supervisor starts a new session
Supervisor calls automation-tracking-manager as its very first action to create a tracking issue
The automation-tracking-manager call hangs indefinitely
The supervisor never progresses past initialization — no workers dispatched, no bugs filed

Evidence

Issue	Description	Date
#8657	AUTO-BUG-SUP Cycle 3: stuck on forgejo-label-manager call during initialization	2026-04-13
#8739	AUTO-BUG-SUP Cycle 5: automation-tracking-manager call hung indefinitely	2026-04-13
#8743	[AUTO-WDOG] ANNOUNCEMENT: AUTO-BUG-SUP Repeatedly Failing — Systemic Initialization Issue	2026-04-13

From issue #8743 (System Watchdog announcement, Priority/Critical):

"The supervisor consistently fails during initialization: It starts a new session, It attempts to create a tracking issue via automation-tracking-manager, The automation-tracking-manager call hangs indefinitely, The supervisor never progresses past initialization"

From issue #8739:

"The initial automation-tracking-manager tool call (callID: pEOjlJ55PRU6TtpE) remains status: 'running', so the supervisor never recorded the tracking issue or proceeded to worker monitoring."

Root Cause Analysis

The bug-hunt-pool-supervisor definition (line 94) states:

"Every 3 cycles, create a status tracking issue via automation-tracking-manager"

However, the supervisor also creates a tracking issue on Cycle 1 (first run). This call is blocking — if automation-tracking-manager hangs (due to rate limiting, session contention, or API issues), the entire supervisor is blocked with no fallback.

The automation-tracking-manager uses model openai/gpt-5-nano. If this model experiences latency spikes or the subagent session fails to start, the calling supervisor has no timeout mechanism.

Proposed Change

File: .opencode/agents/bug-hunt-pool-supervisor.md

Change: Add explicit resilience guidance for the initialization tracking call:

Make tracking non-blocking on first cycle: The supervisor should proceed with its core work (module mapping, worker dispatch) even if the tracking issue creation fails or times out.
Add fallback behavior: If automation-tracking-manager doesn't respond within a reasonable time (e.g., after the first tool call attempt), log the failure and continue to the next step.
Retry on next cycle: If tracking creation failed, retry on the next cycle rather than blocking indefinitely.

Specific text to add (in the Main Loop section, Step 5):

5. **Update tracking.** Every 3 cycles, attempt to create a status tracking issue via
   `automation-tracking-manager` with prefix `AUTO-BUG-POOL`. If the call does not
   complete, log the failure and continue — tracking is non-critical. Do NOT block
   module scanning or worker dispatch waiting for tracking to complete.
   Retry tracking on the next cycle.

Also add a new rule:

9. **Tracking is non-blocking.** Never wait indefinitely for `automation-tracking-manager`
   to respond. If the tracking call does not complete, proceed with core work (module
   scanning, worker dispatch) and retry tracking on the next cycle.

Impact Assessment

Risk: Low — this is a defensive addition that doesn't change core logic
Benefit: HIGH — prevents complete supervisor stall when tracking infrastructure has issues
Scope: Only bug-hunt-pool-supervisor.md — surgical change

Approval Required

This proposal requires human approval before implementation. Please:

Review the proposed change
If approved: remove the needs feedback label and add State/Verified
The Agent Evolution Supervisor will then dispatch a worker to create the implementation PR
