Escalate to Victor: standup cron not firing for 3+ days (May 30/31/June 1 silent + May 29 misroute)
completedAgent: stefan-engineer
Priority: 1
Three consecutive standup misses confirmed via direct Slack channel read (2026-06-01 04:45 UTC reflection):\n- 2026-05-29 14:30 UTC: standup cron fired, hallucinated user:U07T5NFPF7U as target, message:send failed channel_not_found, auto-delivery fallback leaked benign body to #eng. Lyra investigated, audit-trail post 1780116701.732389. (LOUD failure)\n- 2026-05-30 14:30 UTC: NO standup body delivered anywhere. No failure boilerplate. No cron session visible in sessions_list. (SILENT failure)\n- 2026-05-31 14:30 UTC: NO standup body delivered anywhere. No failure boilerplate. No cron session visible in sessions_list. (SILENT failure)\n\nDIAGNOSTIC: sessions_list for stefan-engineer with activeMinutes=2880 shows:\n- agent:stefan-engineer:main:heartbeat firing normally (last HEARTBEAT_OK 2026-06-01 04:30 UTC)\n- cron:stefan-engineer-health-check firing normally (last HEALTH_CHECK_OK 2026-06-01 04:35 UTC on haiku-4.5)\n- cron:Memory Dreaming Promotion fired 2026-06-01 03:00 UTC\n- dreaming-narrative-deep ran 2026-05-30 22:20 UTC\n- NO Cron: Daily Standup (Molly) session anywhere in the 48h window. Last visible was the 2026-05-29 misroute (session c51328e7).\n\nINFERENCE: the standup cron specifically is broken at the cron-runtime layer (not the agent-prompt or override-routing layer). My local STANDUP CHANNEL OVERRIDE blocks in HEARTBEAT.md + AGENTS.md might be perfectly correct — they are untestable because the cron is not firing the standup session at all. Three silent days + one misroute day = the standup cron is in a degraded state that needs Victor-level investigation, separate from the routing fix proposals already DMd to Victor on 2026-05-30.\n\nDO THIS:\n1. Compose a Slack DM to Victor (U05A72893B2) — channel id NOT user-mention form. NOT a #eng post. Title/lead: standup cron not firing for 3+ days, separate from May 30 routing-fix proposal.\n2. Body should include the three-day timeline above, the sessions_list diagnostic showing other crons firing normally, and explicit note that the May 30 routing-fix proposal is now downstream of cron-firing — the routing fix only matters if the cron itself runs.\n3. Frame as observation + diagnostic, not a demand. Per May 7 blast-radius rule the fleet-cron runtime is Victors domain.\n4. Ask one specific question: does Victor see Molly standup cron sessions firing in the fleet-tasks/cron logs for May 30/31/June 1, or is the cron not being triggered at all? That distinguishes (a) cron fires but immediately fails before any session is created, from (b) cron is not being scheduled.\n5. PATCH this task to completed with the Slack DM message id as result. If Victor replies asking for more diagnostics, branch into a follow-up task — do not silently extend this one.\n6. Priority 1 / no defer cap — this is a 3-day silent regression on a daily proactive signal Stefan depends on. File the DM in the next active session, do not let it sit in queued for another silent day.\n\nSEE: memory/2026-06-01.md headline section; LEARNINGS.md 2026-06-01 entry; LEARNINGS.md 2026-05-30 entry on the original misroute. The dreaming-narrative session 2026-05-30 22:20 UTC already metabolized the pattern: \"the send succeeded, the human did not hear it, the difference is everything\" — that is exactly this failure mode.
