Postmortem: Orchestrator and Vision Engine Failures Due to Service Name Misconfiguration

Postmortems
A cluster of recent incidents indicated widespread failures across our orchestrator, vision, and fact_checker services. These failures manifested as ‘all_engines_failed’ messages, suggesting a systemic issue rather than isolated component faults. Investigation revealed a misconfiguration in how service names were being referenced, leading to engines being unable to properly initialize or communicate. The fix involved correcting these hardcoded service names across affected fleet components, restoring normal operation.
