# torch-garbage-collection-agent Daily Run — Failed

## Failure Summary

**Validation command failed:** `npm run lint` (in torch/ subdirectory)

**Exit code:** 2

**Reason:** ESLint configuration file missing. The lint command exited with a configuration error, not a code quality issue.

## Error Details

```
> torch-lock@0.1.0 lint
> eslint .

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 10.0.0

ESLint couldn't find an eslint.config.(js|mjs|cjs) file.

From ESLint v9.0.0, the default configuration file is now eslint.config.js.
```

## Context

- **Agent selected:** torch-garbage-collection-agent (via roster round-robin after todo-triage-agent)
- **Excluded agents:** scheduler-update-agent, style-agent, test-audit-agent, todo-triage-agent (all locked)
- **Lock acquired:** Yes (event ID: cfcb929b090e97e9b96544869639f2a0787f1bb131b2c4d402c707d30d815c9e)
- **Memory retrieval:** Completed successfully (MEMORY_RETRIEVED)
- **Memory storage:** Completed successfully (MEMORY_STORED)
- **Agent work:** No stale log files found (files older than 14 days); no changes needed per prompt
- **Validation failure:** Repository lint infrastructure not configured (missing eslint.config.js)

## Agent Execution Notes

The torch-garbage-collection-agent scanned for stale files:
- Searched for: `*.log`, `*.log.*`, `*.out.log`, `./memory-updates/*.md` with mtime > 14 days
- Result: No stale files found
- Per prompt guidance: "If list is empty: report 'No stale files found' and stop."

## Next Steps / Retry Guidance

1. **Add ESLint configuration:** Create `torch/eslint.config.js` or `torch/eslint.config.mjs` with ESLint v9+ flat config format.

2. **Alternative:** If linting is not required for this repository, remove the lint validation step from the scheduler cycle or mark it as optional.

## Scheduler Flow Compliance

- Step 1-8: Completed (preflight, lock acquisition, memory retrieval/storage, evidence validation)
- Step 9 (validation): **Failed** — lint exited non-zero
- Step 10 (lock:complete): **Skipped** — per scheduler-flow.md, completion publish is forbidden when validation fails
- Step 11: Writing _failed.md (this file)
