DeepReport Intelligence Briefing - February 4, 2026

[github-actions[bot]]

🔍 Executive Summary

Overall repo health is strong with high safe-outputs coverage (93.8%) and excellent test-to-source ratio, while security posture remains robust (latest firewall escape run blocked 100% of new techniques). Token usage is highly concentrated in a handful of workflows, and code churn metrics are inflated by lockfile regeneration rather than source volatility. Issues are trending healthy this week: closures outpaced creations over the last 3 days and there are zero open unlabeled issues.

The key opportunities this period are reducing top token spenders, making churn stability metrics more accurate, and improving automated labeling at issue creation time. Runtime metrics in audit workflows are still limited due to missing gh CLI access, so operational visibility remains partial.

📊 Pattern Analysis

Positive patterns

• Strong safe-outputs adoption and broad workflow portfolio. (Audit Report #13735)
• Security posture holding: firewall escape testing blocked all 30 novel techniques. (Firewall Escape #13695)
• High-quality codebase: 2.22:1 test-to-source ratio and strong documentation footprint. (Daily Code Metrics #13699)

Concerning patterns

• Token usage is heavily concentrated (top 10 workflows ~89% of total), with Test YAML Import and CI Failure Doctor dominating. (Token Report #13703)
• Churn stability scoring is skewed by frequent .lock.yml regeneration (top churners are lockfiles). (Daily Code Metrics #13699)
• MCP (2.8%) and firewall (0.7%) adoption remain very low in workflow configs. (Audit Report #13735)

Emerging patterns

• Auto-triage successfully labels bot-generated issues, but labels are often missing at creation time. (Auto-Triage #13733)

📈 Trend Intelligence

• Issues (weekly cache): 500 total; 94 open / 406 closed. Last 3 days: 282 created vs 314 closed. Unlabeled: 58 total, 0 open.
• Tokens (Copilot 30d): 209,922,363 tokens, ~$419.84, 500 runs, 56 workflows, avg cost/run ~$0.84. Top 10 workflows consume ~89% of tokens. (Token Report #13703)
• Code metrics: 582,894 LOC across 1,401 files; 425 commits in 7 days; 2,035 files modified; churn driven by lockfiles. (Daily Code Metrics #13699)
• Workflow audit: configuration-only (runtime metrics unavailable due to missing gh CLI). Safe-outputs 93.8%, MCP 2.8%, firewall 0.7%. (Audit Report #13735)

Issue Label Distribution (Weekly Cache)

Top labels by count: cookie (243), automation (198), code-quality (148), task-mining (137), documentation (77), agentic-workflows (68), refactoring (59), enhancement (40), smoke-copilot (35), testing (33).

🚨 Notable Findings

• Security win: defense-in-depth validated across kernel + proxy layers; no escapes in latest run. (Firewall Escape #13695)
• Cost hotspot: Test YAML Import consumes 47.0M tokens (~$94.06) over 30d. (Token Report #13703)
• Metric distortion: churn stability is currently dominated by generated lockfile updates, which masks real source volatility. (Daily Code Metrics #13699)

🔮 Predictions and Recommendations

• Expect token costs to remain concentrated unless top workflows add caching/diff strategies. Prioritize optimization in the top 1–3 consumers for maximum ROI.
• If churn metrics are corrected to exclude generated lockfiles, stability scoring should rebound and become a more useful signal for regressions.
• MCP and firewall adoption will likely remain low unless targeted templates/patterns are added or specific workflows are identified for onboarding.

✅ Actionable Agentic Tasks (Quick Wins)

• Created issue: [deep-report] Tune Daily Code Metrics churn score to ignore generated *.lock.yml files
• Created issue: [deep-report] Auto-apply labels for bot-generated workflow issues/discussions
• Created issue: [deep-report] Reduce Test YAML Import token usage with diff-based or cached analysis
