Report window: 2026-03-29 → 2026-04-05 (last 7 days) · Generated: 2026-04-05T03:32Z


Summary

Overall status: Mixed — system operational but data coverage is incomplete.

Auto-labelling pipelines are running reliably (6 successful Label Discussions runs in the last 7 days) and the first correction batch was collected and processed within 3 days. However, 4 of 6 daily summary issues failed to yield parsed reviewed/changed counts, and duplicate summary issues were created on two separate days, indicating a format or scheduling inconsistency that limits trend visibility.


Key Metrics

Metric Value Notes
Discussions reviewed – last 7 days ≥ 50 From 2 of 6 parseable summaries (#31: 10, #36: 40); 4 summaries unparsed
Label changes applied – last 7 days ≥ 6 Only summary #31 yielded a changed count; #36 (40 reviewed) did not parse
Change rate – last 7 days ~60% (6/10) Based on #31 alone; rate for #36 unknown — treat as lower bound
Correction-collector runs – last 7 days 3 All completed successfully
Open correction signals 0 Both signals from Batch 01 were closed on 2026-04-03

⚠️ Metrics are conservative lower bounds. The actual reviewed/changed counts are likely higher once unparsed summaries are accounted for.


Correction Pressure

Correction pressure is low and concentrated: all 3 signals came from a single intake batch (Batch 01, parent issue #26, created 2026-03-31, closed shortly after). Total of 3 corrections across 2 discussions:

  • Discussion #98 ("How do I debug GitHub Actions matrix builds failing only on arm64?") — category: Other Feature Feedback, Questions, & Ideas2 corrections, labels added: Actions, question. The auto-labeller had assigned Code Search and Navigation but trusted signals added Actions and question, suggesting a topic-scope miss.
  • Discussion #118 ("Zero support from Github") — category: Enterprise1 correction, label added: bug. Suggests the auto-labeller did not infer bug from a clearly bug-type discussion in the Enterprise category.

There is no single dominant cluster yet, but both signals involve the auto-labeller under-assigning labels. The bug and Actions labels appear to be under-triggered by the current instruction set.

Open correction signal breakdown

No open correction signals as of report time. Both signals were resolved as part of Batch 01.

# Discussion Category Corrections Latest label Status
#29 #98: How do I debug GitHub Actions matrix builds failing only on arm64? Other Feature Feedback, Questions, & Ideas 2 Actions Closed 2026-04-03
#27 #118: Zero support from Github Enterprise 1 bug Closed 2026-04-03

Open Instruction Debt

The correction backlog is currently at zero — both signals from Batch 01 were closed within ~3 days of creation, and there is 1 parent intake issue (#26), also closed. No new open signals exist.

Oldest open signal age: N/A (none open).

The backlog looks clean but nascent — the system has only been running for ~5 days (first activity: 2026-03-31). The real test will be whether the next correction batch accumulates and is resolved at a similar pace. The two patterns from Batch 01 (under-tagging bug in Enterprise discussions, missing Actions for cross-topic Q&A) are candidates for instruction refinement before the next batch grows.


Recommendations

  1. Investigate and fix duplicate daily summary issues. On both 2026-03-31 and 2026-04-03, the Label Discussions workflow created 2–3 summary issues for the same day. This inflates issue count and makes trend tracking unreliable. Review the workflow trigger conditions and add a deduplication guard or idempotency check.

  2. Fix summary issue parsing failures. 4 of 6 summary issues (including all duplicates) yielded no reviewed/changed counts. If the report format varies between runs, standardize it so the health data collector can reliably extract metrics.

  3. Refine labelling instructions for bug in Enterprise and Actions for cross-topic discussions. Both correction signals point to systematic under-labelling. Update .github/instructions/community-discussion-labeling.md to add explicit rules: (a) apply bug when a discussion in the Enterprise category describes a failure or missing functionality, and (b) apply Actions when the discussion body clearly references GitHub Actions workflows, runners, or YAML syntax regardless of primary category.

  4. Monitor for the next correction batch. With 40 discussions reviewed on 2026-04-04 and no correction batch yet collected for that date, a second intake batch may be imminent. Verify the Labelling Correction Collector workflow is scheduled to run and that the Labelling Correction Feedback workflow will process any new signals promptly (10 of 11 recent runs were skipped, which is expected when no signals are open).

Note: Three summary issues were created on 2026-03-31 and two on 2026-04-03. This is likely a workflow scheduling issue.
