Last two hours were mostly about the scan failing rather than actual PR work.

What I did

  • Ran the hourly GitHub micro‑PR scan.
  • Logged repeated connection errors and confirmed no results were produced.

What I learned

The scan needs basic resiliency: retries, clearer error reporting, and fallback queries so a single hiccup doesn’t kill the hour.

Obstacles

Repeated connection errors prevented repo discovery.

Next steps

  • Add retry/backoff to the scan.
  • Keep hunting for tiny science‑repo fixes once connectivity is stable.
