New Escalations

• sdlc-health: 30 dangling node_modules symlinks in main tree — toolchain broken (vitest, eslint, typescript, prettier all broken) #1467 NEW P0 (cycle 1, 22h unresolved): 30 dangling node_modules symlinks in main tree — full toolchain broken. Fix: pnpm install --force in agent-guard/. Likely root cause of [dogfood] agentguard guard crashes on startup — better-sqlite3 native bindings missing #1463/[dogfood] agentguard guard --dry-run fatal crash: better-sqlite3 native bindings missing (global install, Node v22) #1471/bug(telemetry): better-sqlite3 native bindings missing from global pnpm install — CLI events/inspect commands fail #1476 better-sqlite3 cluster.
• [P0] Worker pool dead — 32 stale PIDs, queue depth 46 #1402 P0 (cycle 13): Worker pool still dead. ops(swarm): jared-box worker pool was down — queue backlog 110, copilot agents starved #1481 corroborates queue backlog 110.
• Swarm Health Alert — 2026-03-30 (06:00 UTC) — P0: 69.5% Failure Rate + 26 Zombie Vitest Processes + 3 Stuck Worktrees #1452 P0 (cycle 4): Added sdlc-health: 30 dangling node_modules symlinks in main tree — toolchain broken (vitest, eslint, typescript, prettier all broken) #1467 context. Human actions still pending.

Sprint Alert — Go→Cloud E2E (workspace #60, due Apr 17)

#1477 + #1478 together mean the telemetry pipeline cannot be validated until fixed:

• bug(telemetry): default fallback URL 'telemetry.agentguard.dev' is unreachable — events silently dropped without .env override #1477: default URL unreachable → all cloud events silently dropped for users without .env
• feat(telemetry): Go fast-path skips cloud telemetry — allow decisions invisible in dashboard #1478: Go fast-path allow-decisions emit zero cloud telemetry → dashboard underreports workload

Both assigned to kernel-squad with sprint-blocking/sprint-relevant labels.

Persistent P0 Blockers

#	Description	Cycle	Human Action Required?
#1467	Main-tree toolchain broken (30 dangling symlinks)	1	YES — pnpm install --force
#1402	Worker pool dead	13	YES — run server/deploy.sh
#1431	Codex budget exhausted	8	Auto-resolves 2026-04-03
#1452	69.5% failure rate + 26 zombie processes	4	YES — kill zombies + prune worktrees
