💡 Observations

⚠️ High error-rate workflows (errors per run ≥ 0.5):

Workflow	Runs	Errors	Error Rate
Smoke CI	15	15	1.00/run
Smoke Copilot	5	5	1.00/run
Copilot Token Usage Optimizer	1	1	1.00/run
Auto-Triage Issues	5	3	0.60/run
Issue Monster	12	7	0.58/run
Contribution Check	4	3	0.75/run
Agent Container Smoke Test	4	3	0.75/run
PR Triage Agent	3	2	0.67/run
Test Quality Sentinel	20	6	0.30/run

Smoke CI (15 runs, 15 errors, 1.00/run) and Smoke Copilot (5/5) warrant immediate investigation.

🔥 Heavy token consumers (avg > 1M tokens/run):

• Copilot Token Usage Optimizer: 14.9M avg — the most token-intensive workflow today
• Copilot CLI Deep Research Agent: 8.4M avg
• Daily Syntax Error Quality Check: 5.6M avg
• Daily Community Attribution Updater: 5.2M avg
• Package Specification Extractor: 4.6M avg

📉 Zero-token runs (likely failed before agent invocation): 11 workflows recorded 0 tokens across 26 runs — including all 15 Smoke CI runs.
