💡 Observations

• No single heavy hitter: No workflow exceeds 30% of total tokens. The top workflow (Daily Community Attribution Updater) accounts for ~20.5% of total tokens in a single run with 365 turns — the highest turn count seen.
• High-volume workhorse: Test Quality Sentinel ran 30 times and consumed 13.3M tokens (~443K avg/run) — the highest cumulative impact from a recurring workflow. Worth monitoring for optimization opportunities.
• Token-intensive single runs: Q (3.3M avg/run), Daily Syntax Error Quality Check (5.9M avg/run), and jsweep (5.1M avg/run) each consumed very large token amounts per invocation. All exceed the 100K avg threshold by a significant margin.
• High error rates: Issue Monster recorded 8 errors across 8 runs (100% error rate), and Smoke Copilot recorded 4 errors across 4 runs (100%). GitHub Remote MCP Authentication Test had 2 errors in 1 run (possible auth failures). These may indicate systemic issues worth investigating.
• Zero-token runs: Smoke Create Cross-Repo PR, Smoke Update Cross-Repo PR, and Daily Issues Report Generator reported 0 tokens despite completing — these may use non-Copilot engines or have no agent turns.
• Action minutes efficiency: At 651 min, today's minutes are the lowest recorded in this dataset despite 104M tokens — suggesting recent optimizations to runner usage are taking effect.
