Importance: High · seo-audit pre-flight: DONE · Q1 / Q4 follow-ups: PENDING

What was done

• Q3 shipped. Hardened the seo-audit scheduled task (Mon/Thu 11 PM) with a Phase 0 pre-flight: it tests the shell, runs df -h, confirms WP REST credentials are loaded, probes the cloud lane, then auto-routes to the cloud workspace or read-only report mode if any check fails. Includes a rollback/safety clause so routing never re-crons or disables the task. This closes the gap where the disk failure was only discovered mid-run.
• Q2 recorded. Standing P1 approval (broken-link repoints, 301 reclamation of dead backlink targets, orphan-page internal links — all reversible) is now written into the seo-audit task prompt, with snapshot + rollback still required and destructive/paid/homepage changes still gated.
• Routine self-audit step added to the seo-audit task prompt so every future run ends with the clickable multiple-choice audit you expect.
• Root cause of the daily GitHub failure emails confirmed (below).

Root cause: the daily GitHub failure emails

The source is samaguiar1982-cpu/seo-ops, workflow "Daily SEO Audit" (.github/workflows/seo-audit-daily.yml). It succeeded May 4-12, then failed four straight scheduled runs on May 14, 15, 16, and 17 (about 3 seconds each), and has not run since. Fast failures plus the cron going silent point to GitHub Actions minutes / billing exhaustion.

The emails have stopped for now, but this will recur. GitHub's monthly Actions minutes reset on June 1 — the cron will fire again and fail again unless the workflow is disabled or the underlying failure is fixed before then.

Why the session ended

Two hard blockers, both surfaced as clickable grants in the chat:

1. GitHub connector lacks the workflow OAuth scope. Both disable-workflow and editing the workflow .yml return 404. The workflow could not be stopped via API. Per the "test before wire" guardrail, nothing was forced.
2. Local shell still ENOSPC (disk full). Bash, Glob, and Grep are all dead. No cloud-migration code could be tested locally, so per the guardrail nothing untested was wired up. Note: the folder-cleanup task (daily 3 AM) exists to prevent exactly this and ran May 22, yet the disk is still full — worth a look.

Q1 / Q4 status

• Q1 (cloud migration): The migration to "build and wire" already exists — seo-ops is it. Rebuilding would be duplication, so it was not rebuilt. It is currently broken; fixing or wiring it needs either repo write access or a working test shell, neither of which was available.
• Q4 (block the Cloudways staging mirror app21392.cloudwayssites.com): Still pending — needs WP/Cloudways credentials loaded, which were not available this session.

Recommended next actions

• Decide seo-ops's fate before June 1: disable it, migrate it to a self-hosted runner (the sail-automation/folder-cleanup pattern already proves this works and consumes no hosted minutes), or fix the root failure.
• If agents should manage Actions via API, reconnect the GitHub connector with the workflow scope.
• Restore the local shell — the disk volume is full despite folder-cleanup running — so future seo-audit runs can use the local lane and code can be tested.
