Context

Between Apr 25–29, autoloop ran successfully (agent step produced code) but safe_outputs failed to push the changes due to the stale patch generation bug (gh-aw #28955, fixed in v0.71.2). The code changes are preserved in the agent artifacts of each run and can be recovered.

Lost iterations

Each run's agent artifact contains aw-autoloop-{program}.patch. The last commit in each patch is the agent's actual iteration — earlier commits are phantom diffs from the stale base.

tsb-perf-evolve (4 iterations)

perf-comparison (3 iterations)

build-tsb-pandas-typescript-migration (4 iterations)

Recovery plan

1. Download each agent artifact: gh run download <run_id> --name agent
2. Extract the last commit from each .patch file (the agent's actual work, not the phantom diffs)
3. Apply them in iteration order per program, verifying each applies cleanly against current main
4. Create one PR with all recovered iterations
5. Some iterations may conflict with each other or with changes that landed on main since — skip those

Notes

• Artifacts have not expired as of today
• Later iterations may supersede earlier ones (especially tsb-perf-evolve where each iteration rewrites series.ts)
• For tsb-perf-evolve, only the latest iteration (26) likely matters since they all modify the same method
• For perf-comparison and build-tsb, iterations are additive (new files) so all can be applied
