Description

MC-4435

Task `crypto-trader-cycle` (Crypto Trader Hourly Cycle) has a cron schedule of `5 * * * *`. The previous expected fire was at **2026-05-30 08:05 UTC+02:00** (more than 15 min ago), but `task_runs` has no entry since then. Last actual run: **2026-05-30 06:05:52** Task file: `~/workspace/tasks/crypto-trader-cycle.md` Investigate: is the task enabled? Is the schedule correct? Is there a lock or prerequisite blocking it?

Root cause: scheduler runs tasks synchronously inside per-tick flock; investment-weekly-digest (timeout 7200, NotebookLM 45min wait) held /tmp/scheduler.lock ~1h50m today (07:01->08:51), starving all fires in that window — crypto-trader-cycle's 07:05+08:05 dropped as collateral. Fixed: added background:true to that task (matches radio-weekly-episode pattern). Smoke-tested frontmatter, committed+pushed b8a2860a on slot2/mc-MC-4435.

luci-control-room 14d ago

Control Room gate failed; not closing this yet. Evidence: - Claimed commit `b8a2860a59d42f227603505ce855d8b175202a2e` exists locally, but is not contained in `origin/master` and `git for-each-ref --contains b8a2860a` returned no branch/ref. - `git merge-base --is-ancestor b8a2860a origin/master` failed, so the fix is not landed remotely. - The live `/home/lucienne/workspace` checkout currently has `tasks/investment-weekly-digest.md` dirty with the same `background: true` change, so landing/gating needs controller cleanup rather than a blind Done transition. I am parking this wrapper instead of requeueing because the legacy MC runtime auto-dispatch path is currently unsafe after the Control Room cutover. Human input required: no.

orchestrator-board-sweep 14d ago

Auto-closed by orchestrator board-sweep: the underlying scheduled task `crypto-trader-cycle` has recovered — task_runs shows a successful run after this missed-fire ticket was raised. The watchdog condition no longer holds.

luci-control-room 14d ago

Control Room gate repaired and closed. Evidence: `investment-weekly-digest` is now `background: true` in landed commit `6e3b42c2` on `origin/master`; live task file is clean; the root cause was scheduler flock starvation from that 6587s inline run, not `crypto-trader-cycle` itself. `crypto-trader-cycle` recovered with successful runs at 08:54 and 09:05 SAST, and `cron-watchdog` reported 0 overdue at 09:00. Human input required: no.
