Cache Strategy Analysis Report

Date: 2026-10-20
Runs Analyzed: 84 cache-enabled session logs (94 runs identified; 10 lacked session logs)
Workflows with cache-memory: 74

---

Executive Summary

The available 24-hour set contains 57 runs with an observable cache-memory interaction: 32 confirmed read hits, 4 confirmed misses, and 21 interactions with inconclusive read outcomes or writes only. AI Moderator remains the recurring miss outlier at 96.9% over 14 days (31/32 observed runs) with a three-day miss streak; its issue is already tracked as #aw_aimod.

Two other workflows crossed the stated miss-rate threshold on one-run samples. Their first run found no prior state and then wrote state, so the issues ask to confirm restoration on the next scheduled run. The provided summary reports a collection limit; its continuation query did not return log results, so coverage is incomplete.

Findings

Severity	Workflow	Miss Streak	Miss Rate (14d)	Root Cause	Issue
🟠 High	AI Moderator	3 days	96.9% (31/32)	Repeated missing spam-log.json reads	#aw_aimod (existing)
🟠 High	Daily Safe Output Tool Optimizer	1 day	100% (1/1)	First observed run found no state directory, then wrote initial files	#70602
🟠 High	Weekly Network Domain Set Audit	1 day	100% (1/1)	Historical first observed run missed domains-audit-state.json, then wrote it	#70600

🟠 High Priority

• AI Moderator — Runs 39328679498, 39348934611, and 39454533103 recorded missing-file reads. The captured workflow prompt describes spam-log.json as optional; the recurring rate is already tracked by #aw_aimod.
• Daily Safe Output Tool Optimizer — Run 39323104893 could not find /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/safe-output-optimizer/, then wrote 2026-10-19.json and error-patterns.json. The 100% rate is based on one observed run.
• Weekly Network Domain Set Audit — Historical run 39233010236 could not find /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/domains-audit-state.json, then wrote the state file. The 100% rate is based on one observed run; this workflow did not run in the 24-hour window.

🔴 Critical Issues

No volatile run_id cache key without a restore-key was confirmed. Workflow source reads were unavailable, so cache-key configuration could not be independently checked.

🟡 Medium Priority

No additional medium-priority finding.

Healthy Workflows

Workflow	Cache Hit Rate (14d)	Last Miss
CLI Version Checker	100% (4/4 observed runs)	None in the sample
Daily Go Test Parallelizer	91.7% of classifiable reads (22 hits / 24 hit-or-miss outcomes; 18 other observations inconclusive)	2026-10-19

GitHub API Consumption Report Agent is below threshold after a successful read on 2026-10-20: 33.3% miss rate (1/3 observed runs).

Coverage and Limits

The provided run summary reports 213 total runs and a count-limit continuation from 2026-10-19 18:39Z through 2026-10-20 09:53Z. I requested that continuation through the agentic-workflows logs tool; it returned keepalive responses without log results and was stopped. The available 24-hour metadata identified 94 cache-enabled runs across 74 workflows; 10 had no session log. Findings are limited to available evidence.

The GitHub file-content tool denied workflow source reads, so volatile cache-key and restore-key settings could not be assessed directly.
