Closes #1149

Factory 16 · Multiple Man

Factory 16 is a normal ComicPile autonomous factory using OpenCode -> OmniRoute -> non-NVIDIA free model.

• Owner: factory:16
• Branches: factory/16-<issue>-omniroute
• OmniRoute: official 3.8.49 Docker image, pinned by digest
• Provider family: opencode
• Endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:20128/v1

A run probes an explicit ordered list of free non-NVIDIA models. A candidate must first return a real assistant response through OmniRoute, then the actual Factory 16 worker must pass its harmless OpenCode smoke without modifying the ComicPile worktree. The first candidate that passes both gates is locked as OMNIROUTE_MODEL for that factory session. There is no NVIDIA fallback and no OmniRoute automatic coding router.

The workflow also extends only the necessary factory-owner recognition boundaries through factory:16, including the central OpenCode PR reviewer, so another factory cannot treat Factory 16 work as unowned.

The PR merges only after the exact final head proves the OmniRoute/OpenCode path, normal ComicPile CI is green, and actionable review findings are resolved.

Changes

OmniRoute Factory 16

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workflow bootstrap and smoke validation .github/workflows/omniroute-factory-16.yml, .github/workflows/omniroute-smoke.yml	Configures workflow triggers, permissions, concurrency, runner limits, Node 24, OpenCode, pinned OmniRoute installation, and CLI version validation.
Provider gateway and routed model setup .github/workflows/omniroute-factory-16.yml	Discovers an NVIDIA model, creates ephemeral credentials, starts OmniRoute, validates the gateway and routed completion, and configures OpenCode with the local provider.
Factory worker execution .github/scripts/omniroute-factory-worker.sh, .github/workflows/omniroute-factory-16.yml	Selects eligible issues, manages Factory 16 branches and labels, runs OpenCode within budget and timeout limits, and creates or updates pull requests.
Heartbeat, diagnostics, and cleanup .github/workflows/omniroute-factory-16.yml	Reports running and terminal job status, includes failure diagnostics, and removes runtime containers, volumes, and temporary credentials.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to d6562

The autonomous Factory 16 workflow can overlap sessions, push work to the wrong branch, operate without heartbeat coverage, and rely on unverified external artifacts with sensitive credentials exposed during setup. These risks can cause conflicting or misplaced changes and create supply-chain or credential exposure, so the PR is not ready to merge until they are addressed.

Factory 16 implementation is now on this PR. Remaining integration blocker: the repository automation update path is currently refusing workflow mutations from this session, so the parked manual workflow and the NVIDIA owner-recognition regex have not yet been changed. Do not enable the hourly schedule until those two pieces are updated and a manual OmniRoute smoke test succeeds. The worker itself is implemented and uses factory:16, factory/16-*-omniroute, and the omniroute/<model> OpenCode provider namespace.

\nFactory 7 adopted this previously unowned PR for the next actionable step.

[github-actions]

Let me analyze the PR reviews carefully and provide a comprehensive feedback summary.

Looking at the reviews from CodeRabbit:

1. Critical bugs found and addressed:

   • checkout_issue_branch variable scoping bug (commits b4cc74a onwards)

2. Moderate issues found and addressed:

   • PR body with literal \n (commits b4cc74a to 086e256)

3. Critical architectural issues:

   • Concurrency group using github.run_id allowing overlapping sessions (addressed in commits 28f7418 to d65621d)

Now looking at the third critical issue around the cron schedule — it's enabled immediately, but the PR body explicitly states it should remain disabled until manual OmniRoute smoke testing passes and the owner-recognition regex is ready. Additionally, there's a missing setup-python step that needs to be added, and I need to verify the /api/keys authentication setup.

The review flagged several minor improvements: a predictable temporary log path that should use mktemp instead, unnecessary git checkout in the smoke test that should be removed, missing context comments in the patch script, and duplicated heartbeat logic that's been pointed out but not yet fixed.

On the security side, there's a critical concern about the container logging — it's capturing the agent transcript which could contain sensitive content, and there's a question about whether the /api/keys endpoint has proper authentication configuration, though it's marked as resolved in the commits between b4cc74a and 11a9c3e. Looking at the security review, the third-party artifacts reference with the digest is held over — it appears the commits only fixed the first two issues (scope reduction and NVIDIA_API_KEY filtering) but didn't fully address the digest pinning requirement.

There's also an issue with the watchdog registration for the opencode-omniroute-factory-16 worker configuration that might need attention.

Review of PR #1176 — Add OmniRoute-backed Factory 16 worker

This is a large, well-structured PR. Based on the CodeRabbit review history, most of the early critical bugs have been addressed in the 6 commits already pushed. I'll focus on what I see as remaining or newly introduced concerns.

Deficiency Summary

🔴 Hard-blockers (must fix before merge)

1. The hourly cron is enabled against the PR's own stated prerequisistes

Commit d65621d fixed the concurrency group but left the actual cron entry active (cron: '34 * * * *'). The PR body is unambiguous: the hourly schedule must remain disabled until (a) manual smoke test succeeds and (b) the owner-recognition regex lands. Currently both are unmet.

2. No factory-heartbeat-watchdog.yml registration for Factory 16

CR flagged this in its second pass and it is still open: expectedWorkers does not include opencode-omniroute-factory-16 or its marker. Without this, the watchdog silently ignores Factory 16 heartbeats — failures go undetected. This is a pre-merge requirement given the "enabled schedule must have heartbeat coverage" policy.

3. /api/keys auth still needs explicit documentation if relying on loopback bypass

The PR body shows the key is fetched from the local OmniRoute container. If requireLogin=false or loopback is being used, the workflow is functional but the side-effect (any local process can mint keys) must be documented in the job body — not hidden in a comment.

---

🟡 Should-fix before merge

4. patch-omniroute-setup.sh is not tracked by git

The CodeRabbit file list included this file, but git ls-files in the workspace shows nothing like it. If it is a runtime patch (applied at job start), track it in the repo so the runner can source or bash it. If it was supposed to be committed, it appears to be missing.

5. Two copies of the heartbeat body still hardcode 1093

The loop in the "Report heartbeat" steps builds the body inline. Issue 1093 is a constant — move it to env: at the job level (REGISTRY_ISSUE_NUMBER: '1093') so it can be bumped without touching two 30-line blocks.

6. $RUNNER_TEMP is used but not referenced as ${{ runner.temp }}

YAML: log_path: ${{ runner.temp }}/opencode-factory-16.log. Currently hardcoded to /tmp/. Tie it to the runner-provided variable so it works on self-hosted runners that may redirect temp.

---

🟢 Nice-to-have (defer)

7. Free-centralisation of factory constants

16, 24 (Node version), Multiple Man (call sign), pol/qwen-coder, and 34 (cron slot) are each repeated 2–3 times. A single env: block at the top of the YAML and one line in the script's top-of-file constants would eliminate drift on factory 17+.

8. omniroute-smoke.yml is still entering the docker group context

The test only validates npm publish, but if the daemon ever adds socket access it inherits the job's full Docker socket. The smoke test should run in a job with no docker group context — it does not need it and this reduces blast radius.

---

Change Assessment (CRISIS + Priority)

CRISIS	Area	Count
Data loss / silent failures	Heartbeat not wired → watchdog ignores Factory 16	1
Credential exposure	Temp log path predictable on ubuntu-latest	1 (already noted)
Corrupt / inconsistent state	Cron active + no concurrency = overlapping sessions on same branch	1
Privilege / auth bypass	/api/keys auth mode undocumented	1
Monitoring gap	No watchdog registration	1

Total facing the team: 5 open items across 4 files.

---

Affected Frontend or Test Files

None — this PR touches only GitHub Actions workflows and scripts. No application code or tests changed. (Coverage still passes; no new test files needed.)

---

Final Verdict — Not ready to merge yet

The following must be resolved:

1. Disable the cron (cron:) until smoke test passes AND owner-recognition regex lands — keep only workflow_dispatch: and pull_request: triggers.
2. Register opencode-omniroute-factory-16 in factory-heartbeat-watchdog.yml with its marker and timing.
3. Document the /api/keys auth mode in the step body if relying on loopback.
4. Confirm patch-omniroute-setup.sh is committed (or remove the reference).
5. Move REGISTRY_ISSUE_NUMBER: '1093' to job-level env and stop hardcoding it twice.
6. log_path should use ${{ runner.temp }}, not /tmp/.

Once those six items are resolved and a manual dispatch run confirms clean end-to-end execution, this PR is merge-ready.
