fix(opencode): raise review cadence so the direct-OpenAI slot can finish substantive reviews

[seonghobae]

Root cause (org merge-queue stall, 2026-07-13 ~04:10Z onward)

With the GitHub Models org budget capped, openai/gpt-5.6-luna is the only model-pool candidate that produces verdicts — every github-models/* candidate dies instantly on "budget limit". The dynamic review cadence tightened in #495 gives a medium change only 420 s per attempt / 900 s total. Luna demonstrably works (fast-mlsirm PR #152 run: ~400 KB of review events) but cannot finish a substantive multi-file review in that window → exit 124 → pool exhausted → MODEL_OUTPUT_UNAVAILABLE → required check fails.

Observed effect: since ~04:10Z, every substantive PR org-wide (fast-mlsirm #152/#153, bolt, etc.) failed opencode-review identically across four separate attempts, while one-line dependabot diffs (which fit in 300 s) kept passing. Reruns cannot help — the window is structurally too small.

Change

knob	old (#495)	new
small (≤3 files) run / total	300 s / 600 s	900 s / 1500 s
medium (≤20) run / total	420 s / 900 s	1500 s / 2400 s
large run / total	420 s / 1080 s	1800 s / 2700 s
unknown run / total	420 s / 900 s	1500 s / 2400 s
pool step shell watchdog	1080 s	2880 s
pool step timeout-minutes	20	50
review job timeout-minutes	45	75

The queue-protection structure of #495 is intact: one attempt per model, single catalog cycle (OPENCODE_POOL_MAX_CYCLES: "1"), outer shell watchdog that marks the pool exhausted before the runner kills the step, continue-on-error on the pool step. Only the per-attempt room grows. Worst-case runner hold rises from 18 min to 48 min for the pool step — bounded, and far cheaper than the current state where every substantive PR burns 15+ min to a guaranteed failure and blocks the queue indefinitely. When the GitHub Models budget is restored (or #511's early-kill watchdog lands), fast candidates soak up most reviews again and luna rarely needs the full window.

Contract pins in tests/test_opencode_agent_contract.py and scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.sh updated in lockstep.

Verification

• pytest tests/ on this branch: 377 passed, 9 skipped
• Pre-existing stale pins in test_strix_quick_gate.sh (e.g. "180", "540", pre-luna candidate order) fail on pristine main too and are untouched — out of scope.

Note on this PR's own review

This diff touches the ~6k-line opencode-review.yml, which is known to overflow luna's context — the model pool cannot review it directly. All three changed files are on the central review-process scope allowlist, so the deterministic current-head evidence fallback (working since #510) is the intended approval path.

• Current merge state: DIRTY
• Base branch: main
• Head branch: fix/opencode-review-cadence-luna
• Fix direction: merge or rebase origin/main into fix/opencode-review-cadence-luna, resolve conflict markers in the changed files, rerun the focused checks, then push the same branch.
• Repair commands:

gh pr checkout 517 --repo ContextualWisdomLab/.github
git fetch origin main
git merge --no-ff origin/main  # or: git rebase origin/main
git status --short
# resolve files, then git add <resolved-files>
# merge path: git commit
# rebase path: git rebase --continue

OpenCode reviewed the current-head bounded evidence and found no blocking issues.

Findings

No blocking findings.

Summary

Approval sufficiency: bounded evidence supplied affirmative approval evidence for changed files, coverage/docstring posture, risk surfaces, and current-head verification; approval is not based merely on the absence of known blockers.
Verification posture: CodeGraph evidence was initialized and bounded current-head evidence reviewed for changed-file evidence including .github/workflows/opencode-review.yml, scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.sh, tests/test_opencode_agent_contract.py.
Linter/static: workflow/static review evidence is bounded by the current-head GitHub Checks gate and changed-file evidence.
TDD/regression: coverage execution evidence and focused changed hunks were reviewed from bounded-review-evidence.md.
Coverage: coverage execution evidence reports supported repository test suites passed.
Docstring coverage: coverage execution evidence reports configured repository docstring gates passed or docstring coverage was advisory.
DAG: CodeGraph/source-backed behavior map connects .github/workflows/opencode-review.yml to the affected review, runtime, or workflow path and required checks.
PoC/execution: coverage-evidence job executed on the current head and reported PASS.
DDD/domain: workflow and repository-governance invariants were reviewed against changed files in bounded evidence.
CDD/context: CodeGraph evidence, changed-file history, and focused hunks were reviewed from bounded-review-evidence.md.
Similar issues: changed-file history evidence was reviewed for comparable local precedents.
Claim/concept check: bounded evidence, repository source, current-head workflow evidence, and, where numeric, scientific, statistical, or literature-backed claims are affected, original-paper/formula evidence and parameter-recovery expectations were used for claims.
Standards search: standards and external-source checks are delegated to configured OpenCode web_search/Context7/DeepWiki sources when applicable; no evidence-backed standards blocker is present in bounded evidence.
Compatibility/convention: changed workflow/script conventions, object naming, and reserved-word safety for schema/API/config/code surfaces were checked in bounded evidence.
Breaking-change/backcompat: deployment evidence and changed-file history were checked for backward-compatibility risk.
Performance: changed surfaces were checked for performance risk in bounded evidence.
Developer experience: changed automation, review, test, setup, and maintenance surfaces were checked for helpful or obstructive DX impact in bounded evidence.
User experience: connected user, operator, API, CLI, documentation, review-comment, status-check, rendering, and workflow-reader behavior was checked for contradictions against code, docs, and tests in bounded evidence.
Visual/DOM: Playwright visual, DOM locator, ARIA snapshot, console, and responsive evidence were checked when a web UI surface was present; for non-web surfaces, API/CLI/log/docs/workflow interaction evidence was reviewed instead.
Accessibility/i18n: accessibility, localization, and human-readable text surfaces were checked where UI, CLI, API message, docs, logs, or review text changed.
Supply-chain/license: dependency, package, model, container, and external-tool changes were checked in bounded evidence.
Packaging: package, build, test, lint, and security contracts were checked in bounded evidence.
Security/privacy: workflow-token, review-gate, and repository-automation security/privacy boundaries were checked in bounded evidence.

Closing as superseded by main's subsequent evolution. This PR raised the review cadence so gpt-5.6-luna (then the only live candidate) could finish substantive reviews during the 2026-07-13 GitHub Models budget outage. Since it was opened, main has adopted a better structural fix for the same failure mode: #518 allows deterministic clean-evidence approval on model outage (so the queue no longer stalls when the pool dies), the GitHub Models org budget was restored (deepseek verdicts are back in ~1-3 min), a long-context github-models/openai/gpt-4.1 candidate was added after luna, and the cadence was deliberately tightened further (90-360s) to fail fast into the fallback instead of holding runners. Merging this raise on top would undo that intentional tightening. The outage diagnosis this PR documented (luna exit-124 mid-review at 420s, exhausted pool, org-wide stall) remains recorded in the PR body for future reference.
