Overview
In the last 7 days (2026-11-02 through 2026-11-09), github/gh-aw opened 1,602 issues and closed 1,658. The repo currently has 396 open issues.
This week remains automation-dominated: of 1,546 issues with full metadata, 1,523 (98.5%) were opened by bots (
app/github-actions1,522;app/copilot-swe-agent1) and 23 were opened by humans. 1,332 of those sampled issues are already closed; 214 remain open.Headline patterns
[aw]failure tickets (427) and[WIP]agent-progress issues (354) are the two largest streams.[gh-aw] Protected Filetickets show the protected-file fallback path is duplicating work (called out in this week’s AW Top 10).Key metrics
Volume by day (opened)
Peak open day this week was 3 Nov (284 opened). Close-out on 8 Nov (−181 net) is the standout correction after six days of backlog growth.

Weekly Activity Patterns
Weekly opened volume has been high and fairly stable (~1,200–1,600/week) for 12 weeks. The week of 26 Oct ⬆️ net +168 grew the backlog; 2–8 Nov ⬇️ net −79 reversed most of that after the 8 Nov close spike. End-of-week open count is 373 (reconstructed), versus a 12-week low near 279 in mid-October — still elevated, but no longer at the 6 Nov peak of 565.
Resolution Time Analysis
Most automated issues close in hours, not days. Across a 3,720-issue closed sample (last 30 days), median time-to-close is ~0.09 days (~2 hours) and the mean is ~0.24 days. The 7-day moving average of mean resolution time is ~0.30 days ⬆️ versus the prior week (variance also widened around 6–8 Nov). That slowdown is still well under one day and is consistent with batch close-out of older WIP/
[aw]tickets rather than a human-review bottleneck.Human-authored issues (23)
These are the non-bot issues opened in the window. 6 remain open.

Notable still-open items
Worth a human look (excluding WIP/work-queue/protected-file duplicates):

427
[aw]engine/workflow failure tickets (45 still open)Daily agentic-workflow failure reports: missing tools, engine driver crashes, missing terminal safe-output, rate limits, credit budget, cascade-suspected. Example still-open: #75548
[aw] Failed jobs: Smoke Built-in Ledgers. Most close the same day once the parent run is triaged or auto-closed.354
[WIP]progress issues (17 still open)Short-lived “work in progress” issues from agent runs (Go Test Parallelizer, Avenger, Package Specification Enforcer, ESLint Miner, Smoke Project, and others). Typical lifetime is minutes to a few hours. Remaining open WIPs are concentrated on Daily Go Test Parallelizer, ESLint Miner, and Smoke Project.
221 Smoke test issues (0 still open)
Smoke Copilot / Claude / Codex / Pi / Crush / Kiro / Goose groups and per-run tickets. This stream fully closed in-week — the healthiest automated category this period.
83
[gh-aw]tickets, 65 still open — mostly Protected File fallbacksLargest residual open pile from this week. Matches AW Top 10 item #76172 “Deduplicate repeated protected-file fallback issues”.
66
[work queue]items (24 still open)Git-backed work-queue placeholders labeled
work+work:queued. Titles are content hashes (for example[work queue] 8c2061099ec5). Treat as queue state, not product bugs.30
[AW Top 10]essential clusters (9 still open)Priority clusters including: diagnose runs that fail without terminal output, stalled code-scanning fixer, safe-outputs git simulator sweep, preflight required tools, harden AWF binary install, capture engine driver stderr, deduplicate protected-file fallbacks, tighten engine egress defaults.
Recommendations
[gh-aw] Protected Filefallback issues before they accumulate (~65 open from this week alone). Pair with #76172.bugissues.[aw]failures (96 this week): credit limits, missing tools, and engine crashes are the common signatures.References:
