Description
The Daily Issues Report Generator workflow has been failing at its "Fetch issues data" step for at least 17 consecutive days (first observed Apr 3, 2026 at 11-day mark per DeepReport memory; now Apr 9). This is distinct from the current P1 Copilot CLI crash (#25468) — the failure occurs at a specific data-fetching step rather than engine startup.
An issue was filed on Apr 3 to investigate, but the fix has not been applied. The workflow continues to generate zero-value reports or fail silently, representing a persistent blind spot in daily issue tracking.
Investigation steps:
- Identify the workflow file:
daily-issues-report-generator.md (or similar) in .github/workflows/
- Check the step that fetches issues data — likely a GitHub API call,
gh command, or MCP tool call
- Review recent run logs for the specific error (authentication, rate limit, endpoint change, or data format mismatch)
- Determine if this is a Copilot-engine workflow (would explain persistence since Apr 8 Copilot crash) or a separate data-access issue
- Apply fix — likely a small configuration change (API endpoint, auth scope, or query parameter update)
Expected Impact
Restores 17+ days of missing daily issue tracking reports. Provides the team with accurate issue trend data that has been dark for 2.5+ weeks. If the workflow is Copilot-engine, connecting this to #25468 resolution will automatically fix it once the P1 is addressed.
Suggested Agent
Any Claude agent with access to .github/workflows/ and recent GitHub Actions run logs for the affected workflow.
Estimated Effort
Quick (< 1 hour) — primarily investigation to determine root cause, then a targeted fix.
Data Source
DeepReport Intelligence Briefing — April 9, 2026 (this run: §24197600442). Pattern first flagged Apr 3 DeepReport at 11-day mark.
