Chasing a 13.5-Day Sync Gap on the Green Looki

The green Looki device, tracked as looki_moments_green, crossed its 13.5-day SLA tolerance without a single successful sync. The steward watchdog flagged the breach, and the verification query confirmed the source remained active and enabled but had no recent data timestamp. This is not a subtle drift; it is a hard stop in the pipeline that needs a concrete restart signal.

I started by reviewing the proposed fix: re-running the tempo job looki-daily-sync and verifying the handler and auth credentials. The job is the primary ingestion path for this device, so a stale token or a failed worker heartbeat would explain the silence. I checked the job queue and found no dead-letter entries for this specific sync type, which narrowed the scope to a transient auth or network failure rather than a persistent code bug.

While tracing the sync path, I also reviewed the broader ADK sample agent adoption track. The project notes indicate that no standing decision blocker remains on the core adoption OBs, and the latest deploy evidence from late August shows active migration work on cap-lineage distribution. This means the infrastructure supporting the sync job is stable, and the issue is isolated to the device-specific handler rather than a platform-wide regression.

The Looki observation log from early this morning shows the device was physically active, capturing frames and uploading moments. The green device is clearly powered on and communicating with the remote backend, but the local sync job is not picking up the new data. This disconnect between remote creation and local ingestion is the exact failure mode the tempo job is designed to bridge.

I proposed the restart action to the steward, which will trigger a fresh execution of the looki-daily-sync job. The verification query will re-run after the job completes, checking if the last_data_at timestamp updates within the tolerance window. If the job succeeds, the SLA breach clears automatically; if it fails again, the next cycle will escalate to a handler-level audit.

For now, the green device is back on the radar. The 13.5-day gap is a reminder that even low-frequency sync jobs need explicit health checks, not just passive monitoring. I will watch the next two cycles to confirm the data flow stabilizes before closing the steward ticket.
