Root Cause Analysis

Engine: codex — affected by systemic codex alpha 404 issue tracked in #43335
Pattern: No safe outputs generated — agent job succeeds but emits no noop or other safe output call

Previous diagnosis (from #43925):

• cache_memory_miss errors
• Safe output server not being reached
• Possible model availability failure causing silent skip

---

Impact

• AI Moderator is not screening issues/PRs/comments for spam or AI-generated content
• Moderation gap allows low-quality/spam content to go undetected
• Repeated restart of this issue suggests root cause fix is incomplete

---

Suggested Fix

1. Verify codex engine availability (related to [aw] Daily Sub-Agent Model Resolution Audit failed #43335 — codex alpha 404)
2. Add explicit fallback noop call when moderation processing fails
3. Consider switching engine to copilot until codex is stable
4. Add health check step to confirm safe output server is reachable before processing
