GitHub Actions drops whole hourly schedule slots (14 of 244 between 2026-08-17 and 2026-08-27), so no check-in margin can satisfy them. Two adjacent empty slots tripped failure_issue_threshold=2 and paged LINEJAM-V four times while every executed smoke passed. Raise the threshold to three consecutive failed-or-missed check-ins and pin both thresholds in the check-in upsert so the monitor is config-as-code. Real smoke failures still page via the productionSmoke error event at the second consecutive failing run.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe production smoke monitor now tolerates dropped hourly check-ins by using a failure threshold of 3 and a recovery threshold of 1. The reporting script, configuration, test expectation, and observability documentation reflect these settings. ChangesProduction smoke monitor
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The monitor would detect a sustained smoke failure one hourly run later than the configured three-failure threshold, delaying its backstop alert. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up because the separate paging path for repeated smoke failures remains unchanged. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Separate check-in failure status from paging-event emission.
planSentryReport() records the first failed smoke as ok because consecutiveFailures < 2. With failureIssueThreshold: 3, the monitor receives error check-ins only on failures two, three, and four. It opens after four consecutive executed smoke failures.
Report every failed smoke as an error check-in. Keep the productionSmoke paging event gated at the second failure with a separate condition. This makes the monitor threshold match the documented three-failure behavior.

Root cause
Sentry issue LINEJAM-V (
Cron failure: linejam-production-smoke, 19 events, 4 incidents since 2026-08-16) pages on GitHub Actions scheduler noise, not on production behavior.GitHub schedule events are best-effort in two distinct ways:
With
failure_issue_threshold: 2, two adjacent empty slots open the monitor incident. The Sentry check-in ledger for the latest incident (2026-08-27):Every smoke that actually executed in the 10-day window passed (230 success, 3 isolated failures never consecutive, 5 cancelled by concurrency). Production was healthy for every page.
Change
Raise the monitor's failure threshold to 3 consecutive failed-or-missed check-ins and pin both thresholds in
PRODUCTION_SMOKE_MONITOR_CONFIG, which every check-in upserts, so the monitor config is fully code-owned:scripts/ops/report-sentry-check-in.mjs— addfailureIssueThreshold: 3,recoveryThreshold: 1; document the dropped-slot evidence.config/sentry-observability.json— audit expectationfailureIssueThreshold: 2 → 3.tests/scripts/report-sentry-check-in.test.ts— assert the pinned config.docs/ops/observability-ci.md— correct the monitor contract: the paging signal for real smoke failures is theproductionSmokeerror event emitted at the second consecutive failing run; the monitor incident is the backstop for the smoke not running/failing for ~3 consecutive hourly slots.Why threshold, not more triggers or an interval schedule
Replaying the 10-day ledger: single misses are routine (8×), double misses occurred 3× (each paged falsely), a triple never occurred while healthy (max check-in gap 2.94 h). Threshold 3 → 0 false pages in the window while still catching a genuinely stopped smoke in ~3–4 h.

The live monitor updates on the first post-merge production check-in (

Until that check-in lands,pnpm ops:sentry-auditreportsfailureIssueThreshold-drift; it self-heals within ~1 hour, or a manualworkflow_dispatchof Production Smoke applies it immediately.Evidence
