Description

MC-4308

Core scheduler task `ticket-pickup` completed at 2026-05-27 15:45:16, but its captured output contains a dispatch/revert error. The task row is marked completed, so normal failed-run monitoring would miss it. Ticket/run key: `MC-4286` No newer clean run of the same core task and no active runtime for the affected ticket was found, so this needs Luci triage. Captured output excerpt: ``` Orchestrator inbox drain: 12 item(s) routed Found 1 MC worker todo ticket(s), 1 workers active, 1 slot(s) free ERROR dispatching MC-4286 to ticket runtime: HTTP Error 409: CONFLICT Reverted MC-4286 -> todo (tmux spawn failed) No larry tickets to pick up. ```

MC-4286 dispatch 409 triaged — no live conflict, root cause is stale runtime_sessions row blocking re-dispatch (pattern recurs across tickets).

api 17d ago

Closed (orchestrator). Watchdog correctly flagged stale runtime_sessions row blocking MC-4286 re-dispatch. MC-4286 itself reassigned lucienne (loop circuit-breaker triggered after 8+ operator-bounce cycles). Pattern recurs across tickets — durable fix would be reaper of stale runtime_sessions with no live tmux companion; logged for follow-up.
