DeepReport Intelligence Briefing - February 9, 2026

[github-actions[bot]]

🔍 Executive Summary

Overall agent workflow health is strong, with the daily audit reporting 90.2% success and the weekly CI/CD health report showing 96.2% success for the Feb 2–9 window. Failures are isolated and actionable: Security Guard Agent failed on pull_request runs without useful error capture, and a single workflow failed due to missing gh OAuth auth.

Operationally, safe outputs are stable at 100% success with expected discussion-permission warnings handled via issue fallback. The main risk area is cost volatility: Codex workflows (notably Smoke Codex) dominate token usage and are spiking without guardrails. Workflow complexity is also rising as average steps per lockfile jumped ~25% day-over-day, which can increase failure surface area if left unchecked.

📊 Pattern Analysis

Positive patterns

• High workflow reliability and zero missing-tool/missing-data incidents in the latest audit.
• Safe outputs operating at 100% success with predictable fallback behavior.

Concerning patterns

• Repeated Security Guard Agent failures with insufficient error detail.
• Codex token consumption highly concentrated in single workflows (Smoke Codex and Daily Issues Report Generator).
• Schema drift signals recurring (missing labels field, unused post-steps/command entries).

Emerging patterns

• Workflow complexity creep: lockfiles show increased average steps and a growing number of lockfiles.
• Issue intake remains automation-heavy; open unlabeled issues persist despite strong labeling automation.

📈 Trend Intelligence

• Success rates: 90.2% (daily audit, 51 runs) and 96.2% (weekly CI/CD, 26 runs) indicate stable execution.
• Token usage: Smoke Codex alone consumed 24.5M tokens (55% of daily total). Weekly analysis shows Codex averages ~12M tokens/run.
• Safe outputs: 96 runs, 100% success; 2 discussion-permission warnings resolved via issue fallback.
• Issue flow: Weekly summary shows 100 opened / 77 closed with 23 open total. Weekly issues dataset shows 500 issues (53 open), with 10 open unlabeled and “cookie/automation/code-quality” dominant labels. The datasets use different scopes but both show automation-led intake.

🚨 Notable Findings

• Security Guard Agent failed on PR events without actionable error details; this is the only failure in the daily audit window.
• gh OAuth missing caused a CI/CD health failure when invoking gh agent-task create.
• Token spikes in Codex workflows are the largest cost risk, with single-run bursts exceeding 24M tokens.

🔮 Predictions and Recommendations

• If Codex workflows continue without guardrails, token volatility will remain the top stability risk (cost + runtime unpredictability).
• Addressing the Security Guard Agent’s error visibility should reduce recurrence by enabling faster triage.
• Schema drift issues (labels/post-steps/command) will likely reappear until addressed in code + schema alignment.

✅ Actionable Agentic Tasks (Quick Wins)

1. Investigate Security Guard Agent failures and improve error capture.
2. Add gh OAuth authentication for workflows using gh agent-task create.
3. Introduce token guardrails for Smoke Codex high-usage runs.

(DeepReport created GitHub issues for all three tasks during this run.)

Supporting Details

• Daily audit: 51 runs, 18 workflows, 90.2% success, 44.3M tokens, 1 failure (Security Guard Agent).
• Weekly CI/CD health: 26 runs, 96.2% success, 44.2M tokens, 1 failure due to missing gh OAuth.
• Safe outputs: 100% success; 2 permission warnings handled via issue fallback.
• Lockfile stats: 148 lockfiles, 95.3% with safe outputs, average steps 72.4 (+24.6%).
• Schema consistency: 5 mismatches (labels missing in struct; timeout naming; post-steps unprocessed; top-level command unused; imports type looseness).
• Weekly issues dataset: 500 issues total, 53 open, 10 open unlabeled; top labels cookie/automation/code-quality.
