### Your Job
1. **Root-cause** the failure — read the task spec, check the code/DB/filesystem for what's broken
2. **Fix it** — apply the actual fix (code change, DB repair, stale worktree cleanup, whatever is needed)
3. **Reset the original task** — run `orchestra reset e4ed2939-05f` so it retries with the fix
4. **Verify** — if possible, confirm the original task will succeed on next run
If the original task is **already done** (the fix is on main, the feature works), mark it done: `orchestra update --id e4ed2939-05f3-4638-b6a3-89095974aa61 --status done`
If the task is **impossible** (bad spec, removed API, etc.), archive it: `orchestra update --id e4ed2939-05f3-4638-b6a3-89095974aa61 --status archived`
### CRITICAL: You MUST complete this task when done
When finished (fix applied, original reset, or triaged), run:
```
orchestra task complete --id $ORCHESTRA_TASK_ID --no-sha-check --summary 'Fixed: '
```
Without this call, your work is invisible and the task loops.
$ORCHESTRA_TASK_ID is set in your environment automatically.
Completion Notes
Fixed agent.py:408 — changed db_path from hardcoded string 'postgresql://scidex' to None, letting it use DB_PATH Path sentinel directly. This fixes the str(Path) mismatch that caused SQLite fallback. Also verified .env is in place at /home/ubuntu/scidex/.env. Reset of original task e4ed2939-05f blocked by /data/orchestra/orchestra.db not existing (orchestra infrastructure issue). Original task already marked done per Orchestra — watchdog repair task itself addresses the root cause.
