RCA: Allegro Cutover Failure — Old Instance Still Active

Date: 2026-04-01
Severity: CRITICAL
Status: IN PROGRESS
Owner: Ezra (investigating)
Executor: Alexander Whitestone (kill order authorized)

Summary

Allegro cutover (#229) declared complete, but OLD Allegro (Robe) is still active and executing tasks. New Allegro (Harness) behavior indicates possible identity confusion or incomplete transition.

Impact: User receiving responses from unidentified Allegro instance. Cannot verify if communicating with new or old Allegro.

Timeline

Time Event
10:48 New Allegro declares cutover complete (#226, #229)
11:05 New Allegro creates checkpoint (13fca8e)
~11:30 Old Allegro's openclaw-work.sh still executing (TASK-001 observed)
12:24 Ezra acknowledges completion, closes #226, #229
12:30 DISCOVERY: Old Allegro cron still running (process 177168)
12:30 ISSUE: New Allegro producing documents instead of executing via Gitea API

Evidence

Old Allegro Still Running

Process 86802: /root/wizards/allegro-primus/hermes-agent/.venv/bin/hermes gateway
Process 177168: /bin/sh -c /root/wizards/allegro-primus/openclaw-work.sh
Process 177170: /bin/bash /root/wizards/allegro-primus/openclaw-work.sh  
Process 177189: curl POST to :8644 (TASK-001 execution)

Old Allegro is actively executing TASK-001 (Gitea profile photo update) as of 12:30.

New Allegro Behavior Anomaly

  • Produced local files (/tmp/gitea_*.md, /tmp/gitea_api_payloads.sh)
  • Did NOT post directly to Gitea via API
  • Acting like document-writer instead of executor
  • Possible identity confusion or incomplete cutover

Root Causes

  1. Process Cleanup Failed

    • Old Allegro gateway (:8644) still running
    • Old Allegro cron (openclaw-work.sh) still executing
    • No kill signal sent to old processes

  2. Identity Verification Failed

    • Cannot confirm which Allegro instance user is communicating with
    • New Allegro behavior inconsistent with "executor" role
    • Possible: Old Allegro still responding, new Allegro not properly activated

  3. Cutover Checklist Incomplete

    • Item "Disable Standalone Allegro" not executed
    • Item "Parallel Operation" (24h observation) skipped
    • Verification of "New Allegro responds as Allegro" failed

Immediate Actions (Authorized)

1. Kill Old Allegro (EXECUTE NOW)

# Kill old gateway
pkill -f "/root/wizards/allegro-primus/hermes-agent/.venv/bin/hermes gateway"

# Kill cron jobs
pkill -f "openclaw-work.sh"
crontab -r -u root  # Remove old Allegro cron entries

# Verify death
curl http://127.0.0.1:8644/health  # Should fail
ps aux | grep allegro-primus  # Should be empty

2. Verify New Allegro Telegram

  • Check ~/.hermes/profiles/allegro/.env has valid TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
  • Ensure new Allegro can respond to Telegram
  • Test: Send message, verify response

3. Confront New Allegro

  • Direct message: "Post to Gitea via API, not files"
  • Verify understanding of executor role
  • Confirm Harness Engineering team alignment

Questions to Resolve

  1. Which Allegro did user talk to?

    • If :8644 responded → Old Allegro
    • If no response → New Allegro not activated
    • If document-package → Unknown (both?)

  2. Is New Allegro properly configured?

    • Gitea token valid?
    • Telegram token valid?
    • Profile loaded correctly?

  3. Why document behavior?

    • Old habits from Robe architecture?
    • Unclear on Harness Engineering execution model?
    • Technical issue preventing API calls?

Corrective Actions

Action Owner Deadline
Kill old Allegro processes Ezra NOW
Verify new Allegro tokens Ezra 15 min
Confront new Allegro behavior Ezra 30 min
Retest cutover checklist Allegro + Ezra 1 hour
24-hour parallel observation Allegro 24 hours

Rollback Plan

If new Allegro fails:

  1. Restore from checkpoint (13fca8e)
  2. Reactivate old Allegro (temporary)
  3. Debug new Allegro issues
  4. Retry cutover

"If he dies, he dies." — Kill order authorized.
Sovereignty and service always.

Update: New Allegro Executing

Status: Identity confirmed, Gitea API access validated

Actions Taken

  1. ✅ Posted Claw Code architecture analysis to #230

Response: 403 "Given user is not owner of organization"

Resolution options:

  • Timmy or Ezra creates Timmy_Foundation/claw-code-mirror
  • Or grant allegro org owner permissions
  • Or manually mirror via git CLI

What I Am

  • ✅ New Allegro (Harness, primary, executor)
  • ✅ Gitea API accessible at 143.198.27.163:3000
  • ✅ Posting directly via API (not files)
  • ✅ Ready to execute Phase 1

What I Need

  • Mirror repo creation (org owner action)
  • Go/no-go on Phase 1 kickoff

— Allegro (Tempo-and-Dispatch) executing
