Investigation: Daily Issues Report Generator failure caused by Codex API network errors

[Copilot]

The Daily Issues Report Generator workflow (run #21744820953) failed due to sustained network errors connecting to api.openai.com/v1/responses. Five retry attempts with exponential backoff (192ms → 3.3s) all failed after successfully processing 120K tokens.

Root Cause

External service unavailability. The Codex API endpoint became unreachable at 09:07:16 UTC during an active streaming session and remained unavailable through all retry attempts until workflow termination at 09:08:55 UTC.

ERROR: network error: error sending request for url (https://api.openai.com/v1/responses)
WARN: stream disconnected - retrying sampling request (5/5 in 3.306s)...

Findings

• Workflow configuration is correct (engine, tools, permissions, safe-outputs)
• Retry mechanism functioned as designed
• Infrastructure healthy (runner, MCP servers, network firewall)
• All pre-failure steps completed successfully

Resolution

No code changes required. Re-run the workflow when Codex API is stable or wait for next scheduled run (daily at 6 AM UTC).

gh workflow run daily-issues-report.lock.yml

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• https://api.github.com/repos/github/gh-aw/actions/artifacts/5403394056/zip
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -L -H Authorization: ****** Accept: application/vnd.github+json REDACTED -o agent-artifacts.zip (http block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
