⚠️ Issues and Anomalies

Warnings

1. Code Metrics LOC Reporting Inconsistency

• Affected Reports: Daily Code Metrics Report (Feb 9 & Feb 10)
• Metrics: lines_of_code_total, test_lines_of_code
• Description:
  • Feb 9 report shows 539,366 total LOC and 283,070 test LOC
  • Feb 10 report missing total LOC, test LOC dropped to 132,847 (53% decrease)
• Expected: Gradual changes in LOC, not sudden 50%+ drops
• Actual: Test LOC decreased by 150,223 lines (53.1% drop) between reports
• Scope Analysis: Both metrics use same scope (all source/test files) per glossary
• Severity: Medium - May indicate reporting error or major code deletion
• Recommended Action:
  • Investigate Feb 10 report generation logic
  • Verify if large code deletion occurred (check git history)
  • Consider adding LOC trend validation to catch anomalies

2. Firewall Report Request Count Mismatch

• Affected Reports: Daily Firewall Report (Feb 10 & Feb 11)
• Metrics: firewall_requests_total vs individual request counts
• Description:
  • Feb 10: Total requests = 1, but Allowed = 588
  • Feb 11: Total requests = 2, but Allowed = 686
• Expected: Total requests >= Allowed + Blocked
• Actual: Total appears to be "Blocked" count, not total
• Severity: Low - Likely metric extraction error, not data issue
• Recommended Action:
  • Review firewall report format/parsing logic
  • Update metric extraction regex in this regulatory workflow
  • Validate firewall report generation includes accurate totals

Data Quality Notes

• Safe Output Health: 100% success rate maintained across both reports - excellent reliability
• Token Consumption: Only one report in period (Feb 10) - consider daily generation schedule
• Prompt Clustering: Single report covering 30-day analysis period - appropriate frequency
• Missing Metrics: Several report types don't expose structured metrics (Auto-Triage, Chronicle, etc.) - consider adding summary metrics

📈 Trend Analysis

Week-over-Week Comparison

Metric	This Period	Previous Period	Change	Notes
Firewall Requests (Allowed)	686	588	+16.7%	Increased activity
Firewall Domains Blocked	2	N/A	N/A	New metric
Token Consumption	$220.65	N/A	N/A	First report
Agent Success Rate	66.0%	N/A	N/A	30-day average
Safe Output Success	100%	100%	0%	Stable

Note: Limited historical data available for trend analysis. Recommend storing metrics time-series for future regulatory reports.

Notable Trends

• Firewall Activity: 16.7% increase in allowed requests suggests growing workflow usage or testing activity
• Safe Output Reliability: Maintained 100% success rate - indicates robust implementation
• Agent Performance: 66% PR merge rate is healthy for automated contributions
• Code Quality: Test-to-source ratio >2.0 indicates strong test coverage

📝 Per-Report Analysis

Firewall Reports (2 reports)

Sources:

• Discussion #14725 - February 10, 2026
• Discussion #14880 - February 11, 2026

Time Period: Last 7 days of workflow runs
Quality: ✅ Valid (with minor metric extraction issues)

Extracted Metrics (Feb 11):

Metric	Value	Validation
Firewall Requests Allowed	686	✅ Valid
Firewall Requests Blocked	1	✅ Valid
Firewall Domains Blocked	2	✅ Valid
Firewall Requests Total	2	⚠️ Likely extraction error

Notes: Reports are consistent day-over-day. Request totals appear to be misaligned with allowed/blocked counts - likely a parsing issue in regulatory analysis, not source data problem.

Token Consumption Report (1 report)

Source: Discussion #14768 - February 10, 2026

Time Period: Analysis period (not specified in metrics)
Quality: ✅ Valid

Extracted Metrics:

Metric	Value	Validation
Total Tokens	220,651,611	✅ Valid
Total Cost	$220.65	✅ Valid
Workflow Runs Analyzed	437	✅ Valid

Notes: First token consumption report in this analysis period. Average cost per workflow run: $0.50. No comparison data available for trend analysis.

Sources:

• Discussion #14641 - February 9, 2026
• Discussion #14762 - February 10, 2026

Time Period: Repository snapshot at report generation

💡 Recommendations

Process Improvements

1. Standardize Metric Reporting: Adopt the metrics glossary (scratchpad/metrics-glossary.md) across all daily reports to ensure consistent naming and scope documentation
2. Add Structured Metrics Section: Include a standard JSON/YAML metrics block in each report for easier automated extraction
3. Implement Trend Storage: Store historical metrics in a time-series database or JSON files to enable better week-over-week comparisons
4. Daily Token Reports: Consider generating token consumption reports daily (currently only one report in 48h period)

Data Quality Actions

1. Investigate Code Metrics LOC Drop: Review git history around Feb 9-10 to determine if 150K line drop in test code was intentional
2. Fix Firewall Metric Extraction: Update regulatory report parsing logic to correctly extract total request counts
3. Add Validation Rules: Implement automated checks for:
   • LOC changes >20% day-over-day (flag for review)
   • Request totals != Allowed + Blocked (flag inconsistency)
   • Missing critical metrics (flag incomplete reports)
4. Expand Metric Coverage: Add structured metrics to Auto-Triage, Chronicle, and other narrative-focused reports

Workflow Suggestions

1. Cross-Report Validation: Implement automated cross-checks for shared metrics (e.g., workflow run counts across Firewall, Token, and Safe Output reports)
2. Anomaly Detection: Add statistical anomaly detection for significant metric changes (>2 standard deviations from mean)
3. Historical Archival: Archive daily report metrics to enable long-term trend analysis and regulatory compliance
4. Metric Glossary Integration: Reference the metrics glossary directly in report generation code to ensure consistency
