Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Add a server-side timeout wrapper around the OpenAI document generation call in POST /api/generate that aborts the request after 25 seconds (leaving 5s buffer before the global 30s request timeout). Use AbortController or the OpenAI SDK's timeout option. Return 504 Gateway Timeout with a user-friendly message if OpenAI doesn't respond in time. Acceptance criteria: timeout configured on OpenAI call, 504 returned on timeout, normal flow unaffected, test verifies timeout behavior with slow mock.
Generated by CEO Planner (priority: 3)
Bulk-closed 2026-04-10 during pipeline triage.
Context: CEO agent had created 100 open agent-task issues against compliancebot, largely duplicates of each other and of the 50 currently-open PRs. Root cause traced to a git-push race in agent-worker executor (dispatch jobs collided on branch
agent/dispatch/*because jobId prefix truncated to literal "dispatch"). Fix deployed: runId is now threaded from Paperclip shim through /dispatch → TaskJob → executor, and branches are keyed on a 12-char unique run key.What to do next:
This issue was superseded, not abandoned. Reopen if still relevant after PR triage.
