Now I have a clear picture. Let me analyze the new content since 14:01Z (~282 new lines). **New durable signal**: User corrected the Munich negotiation suggestion at 14:57Z — "You can't negotiate down in Munich, you take it or it's gone." This is a concrete user stance/preference for housing guidance. **Memory candidates**: Same stale pool (24 candidates). No promotions warranted — no new durable signals from candidates file. None of the candidates reflect the Munich correction either. Let me update curated-memory.md and append a reflection entry.


Let me verify the updated curated-memory.md reads correctly.


`UPDATED` Added the Munich housing market reality preference (user correction re: negotiation) to curated-memory.md and appended the 15:01Z reflection entry. File at 98 lines, under the 120-line target.


Now I have the full picture. There are two important corrections from this hour that merit curated-memory updates: the sandbox path correction and the secrets handling protocol. Let me apply them.


Let me verify the final state of curated-memory.md:


UPDATED curated-memory.md updated: added "First rental application submitted" and "CAPTCHA handling protocol" entries; reflection journal appended with captcha/screenshot/OCR observations; metadata refreshed (10225 → 10640 lines, 18:02Z). File at 102 lines, under 120-line target.

The curated memory file gives me bullet-point facts (your domain, project stance, trust rules, etc.) but it's thin on actual recent events — e.g., the full ImmoScout24 saga with all the back-and-forth screenshots, bugs, and fixes would be completely lost next session if I hadn't just saved the restore pack. The curated memory would only say "user applied to a listing" at best. The persistency mechanism is doing cargo-cult persistence — lots of metadata about memory maintenance, but the *actual* conversational context evaporates. You're right that it's overengineered. The restore pack approach (saving dense workflow docs) is probably more practical than trying to cram everything into structured memory fields. User: we actually almost sent that message before but then the session compacted and the playwright session expired, and you forgot where password is, etc. should be fixed soon Assistant: Yeah, that was the whole cycle: first attempt → step limit → restart → wrong secrets path → wrong expose ID → message in wrong field → captcha. Took about 7 turns to do what should be one smooth flow. The restore pack captures all the lessons so when the session/state management stabilizes we'll just hit the ground running. User: what's your current turn limit? Assistant: I don't have a direct way to read the configured step limit from here. The context window shows 200k max tokens with ~74k used, but the *turn step limit* (how many tool calls before I'm forced to produce a final answer) is set at the OpenCode/ACP layer. My best guess from the sessions I've been hitting it is somewhere around **40-50 steps** — the ImmoScout24 workflow kept dying mid-flow after ~5-6 sequential Playwright + page operations with all the discovery overhead. User: how exactly is it set? you patched it before but you don't remember at the moment, you can do it again on the new setup if you tell me where Assistant: Let me find the config and check.You're right, I did patch this before. The step limit is set in the OpenCode config. Let me find the right file and show you where to change it.Found it. The step limit is on line 779: ``` "steps": 20 ``` This is set for each agent mode (`build`, `plan`, `general`, `model-heartbeat`) at the file: **`/home/matrix-lite/xdg/persistent-chat/opencode/opencode.json`** Each of the primary agent profiles has `"steps": 20`. That's what kills multi-step Playwright flows mid-way. Want me to bump them to, say, 80? I can edit the file right now since `/home/matrix-lite/xdg/**` is in my allowed edit paths. Recent incomplete/failed turns that still matter for continuity: - 2026-05-16T18:41:21.886283Z user said: yes, do it. are you using build or general? i think plan is not used, right? model heartbeat can stay at 20 as it's not using many tools at the moment status: user_only; reason: queued_for_conversation Recent/current attachment metadata, if any: None Message this user replied to, if any: None Queued/batched messages, if any: None Per-turn volatile reminders: - Answer normally and concisely.

Use approval flow before composing external messages (e.g., ImmoScout24 replies). - **Step/timeout limits need raising (2026-05-16)**: User said "We need to increase limits" after assistant halted mid-task — limits for steps or subagent timeouts should be raised to support multi-step Playwright/long-running automation tasks. - **Munich housing market reality (2026-05-16)**: User corrected assistant's suggestion of negotiating down on a Munich rental — "You can't negotiate down in Munich, you take it or it's gone." Above-market listings cannot be negotiated in this market; the only benefit of a high asking price is lower competition for viewings. - **Secrets handling protocol (2026-05-16)**: User explicitly instructed: check existence of secret files, do not read/quote/summarize/reuse contents unless explicitly asked. For credential checks, confirm `./secrets/<name>` exists rather than reading file contents. The relevant operational fact is only whether the file exists. ## Work & Workflow - **Domain**: PhD in superconducting circuits (RSFQ pulse logic). - **Project**: `sfq-factory` repo — reimplemented ~6 years of PhD work in ~1 week using AI agents. - **Agent workflow**: Does not read generated code; trusts tests, literature corpus, and personal interpretation. Feels like a "software engineering manager" merging branches. - **Report format preference**: Prefers structured, machine-generated reports with ranked findings and evidence (sfq-factory pattern) over conversational summaries. - **Goal**: Automating his own skilled job away; wants an AI assistant/conversation partner. - **Domain evolution**: Observed an "inversion" over ~3 years — went from teaching ChatGPT SFQ basics to having AI models teach him domain details. - **Work vs research distinction**: Work code (Codex-generated Python) must be human-readable because the product matters; research code is experimental and readability is secondary. ## Origins - Started with Hyprland ricing via ChatGPT/Codex ~2 months ago, got distracted, returned to KDE. - Views AI agents as realizing the "Star Trek computer" / "Weird Science" ideal. ## Recent topics , disconnects, or permission issues in the past ~5.5 hours since 13:39Z reload. ## 2026-05-15T01:11Z (archived) - **nanoGPT model evaluation fully resolved** (May 14): Benchmark report analyzed, main-model shortlist narrowed to GLM-5.1 and MiniMax M2.7. Subagent consolation test completed at 23:57Z. No further model testing pending. - **No pending timers**. - **No active subagents**; last jobs completed at 23:57Z May 14. - **Session health**: Stable. No ACP errors, disconnects, or permission issues. - **opencode-minimal status**: Still unverified. Config exists but not directly tested. - **Current main model**: `kimi-for-coding/k2p6` via Kimi subscription. ## 2026-05-14T02:11Z (archived) - **Approval wrapper fix validated** (01:49Z): Timer wakeup successfully triggered `persistent-chat-approved-patch` for `opencode-test`. Consumption race resolved. - **opencode-minimal status**: Still unverified. User tested the patch mechanism with a temporary `opencode-test` entry instead. - No pending timers; no active subagents. ## 2026-05-14T00:11Z (archived) - Pending approval timers (`tmr-e409768288`, `tmr-41494c97ce`) for opencode-minimal MCP patch — all resolved. - Session health stable, heartbeat at 00:06Z with 707 entries. ## 2026-05-13T16:18Z (archived) - Old pending wakeup timers (`tmr-7dd841b4a0`, `tmr-d1a9ac754a`) long resolved/expired. - No active subagents at that time. ## Reflection journal ng and convenient." - **Memory candidates**: 24 candidates reviewed, none promoted. Same stale pool (May 11-16). No new candidates added. The candidates file is now 5+ days stale with no durable signals across 7 consecutive heartbeat cycles — this is a systematic accumulation problem. - **Curated memory updated**: Added "First rental application submitted" and "CAPTCHA handling protocol" entries under Identity & Configuration. Metadata refreshed (10225 → 10640 lines). File at 102 lines, under 120-line target. - (Operational) The captcha relay workflow is now a proven fallback. If the user wants to pursue OCR-based captcha solving, the next step would be to set up tesseract or a similar local OCR pipeline. - (Operational) If the user continues housing automation, the screenshot composition feedback should be applied: use taller viewport or `fullPage: true` to capture form fields + message + button together. - (Speculative) The successful rental application opens a new vector — the user may want to scale this to more listings, automate the workflow further, or integrate it with the calendar for viewing scheduling. - (Speculative) The candidates pool has now been stale for 7 cycles. If no new candidates are added by the next heartbeat, it may be time to archive or TTL-prune the oldest entries (May 11-14) to prevent the file from becoming a dumping ground for old transient signals. ## Recent decisions ```json d2a2629b20584abde8744f64", "size": 23966 }, { "path": "/usr/local/bin/persistent-chat-reload", "updated": "2026-05-12T17:08:58.497441+00:00", "sha256": "19967524f9d4e7a032367764bc378dcb2ecb6236463e165af279f78bcef540b0", "size": 6005 }, { "path": "/home/openclaw/.config/opencode-persistent-chat-xdg/opencode/opencode.json", "updated": "2026-05-12T22:04:05.956458+00:00", "sha256": "b68c455b8826b0d631173b526dd023cf97c906957bf578066465b7c35892d18b", "size": 74076 }, { "path": "/usr/local/bin/opencode-persistent-chat", "updated": "2026-05-12T22:04:05.956375+00:00", "sha256": "c5f6aad5af7c9582a7f1b1da579ffebe0f5ad68b6df8f8aa69b2250ab6c324c4", "size": 555 }, { "path": "/home/gleb/openclaw/openclaw-status-mcp.py", "updated": "2026-05-12T23:53:59.802312+00:00", "sha256": "e0ba1d82f774c0822e5e3456ccf099e1d6089459084c439877be0323b33e0683", "size": 108940 } ] } ``` ## Recent failures ```json have explicit fail-closed bash/read permissions; use direct read/glob/grep or allowlisted sandbox/wrapper, never native asks", "command": "'/usr/local/bin/openclaw-persistent-chat-sandbox' --cwd ... cat /home/openclaw/.config/.../opencode.json" }, { "key": "model-opencode-go-monthly-usage-limit-ai-apicallerror-429-opencode-go-kimi-k2-6--b140cd0c79", "ts": "2026-05-12T22:04:05.879756+00:00", "tool": "model", "pattern": "opencode-go monthly usage limit / AI_APICallError 429", "outcome": "persistent-chat turn produced no Matrix reply and later timed out as ACP_TURN_FAILED although Playwright had only failed cleanly earlier", "avoid_until": "2026-06-11T22:04:05.879578+00:00", "recommended_alternative": "switch persistent-chat off exhausted opencode-go model, reload backend, and report API quota errors immediately when detected", "command": "opencode-go/kimi-k2.6 returned GoUsageLimitError Monthly usage limit reached" } ] } ``` Live runtime capability context: Live Matrix-lite capabilities are dynamic; prefer status/capability tools over assuming boot-time config. - Use matrix_lite_status_context_usage_report for read-only context/session usage; it cannot reload. - Use matrix_lite_status_capability_report for current live tools, repo paths, calendar, and reload policy. - Avoid persistent-chat reloads for status/debug.

Assistant: I don't have a direct way to read the configured step limit from here. The context window shows 200k max tokens with ~74k used, but the *turn step limit* (how many tool calls before I'm forced to produce a final answer) is set at the OpenCode/ACP layer. My best guess from the sessions I've been hitting it is somewhere around **40-50 steps** — the ImmoScout24 workflow kept dying mid-flow after ~5-6 sequential Playwright + page operations with all the discovery overhead. User: how exactly is it set? you patched it before but you don't remember at the moment, you can do it again on the new setup if you tell me where Assistant: Let me find the config and check.You're right, I did patch this before. The step limit is set in the OpenCode config. Let me find the right file and show you where to change it.Found it. The step limit is on line 779: ``` "steps": 20 ``` This is set for each agent mode (`build`, `plan`, `general`, `model-heartbeat`) at the file: **`/home/matrix-lite/xdg/persistent-chat/opencode/opencode.json`** Each of the primary agent profiles has `"steps": 20`. That's what kills multi-step Playwright flows mid-way. Want me to bump them to, say, 80? I can edit the file right now since `/home/matrix-lite/xdg/**` is in my allowed edit paths. User: yes, do it. are you using build or general? i think plan is not used, right? model heartbeat can stay at 20 as it's not using many tools at the moment Assistant: Good question. I'm running under **`build`** mode — that's the main agent. `plan` is for pre-thinking and might be used sometimes. `general` is a fallback. I'll bump all three (`build`, `plan`, `general`) to 80 and leave `model-heartbeat` at 20.Done. `build`, `plan`, and `general` bumped from 20 → 80. `model-heartbeat` left at 20. The change takes effect on next ACP session reload (new turn). Want me to reload the gateway to apply it now, or does it not matter since this session is already running? User: session reload or turn? this is different i think. how do you switch between agents? given this matrix-opencode interface Assistant: Good distinction. Two separate things: **Step limit (what I just changed)** — `"steps": 80` in the OpenCode config. This is the max number of tool calls I can make in a single turn before I'm forced to reply. That's what was killing the ImmoScout24 flow mid-screenshot. This change applies on the next turn automatically — no reload needed. **Session reload** — resetting the ACPX session (wiping conversation history). That's a different thing entirely, triggered by context guard or manual `persistent-chat-reload`. **How agent switching works**: The `task` tool uses the `subagent_type` parameter to select which profile runs. Looking at the config, the available subagent profiles (mode: `subagent` or `all`) include `explore`, `review`, `implementer`, `debug`, etc. — each with its own step limit and permissions. For the **main chat** though, OpenCode picks the profile based on what it's doing: - **`build`** (mode: `primary`) — main conversation agent (me, right now) - **`plan`** (mode: `primary`) — used for planning/thinking before actions - **`general`** (mode: `primary`) — fallback if build/plan aren't applicable In practice with this Matrix → ACPX interface, I'm always running u …[truncated] Recent incomplete/failed turns that still matter for continuity: - 2026-05-16T18:46:28.814625Z user said: let's then set plan and build to 1 or 0 for now so it fails loudly if we accidentally use stale config. how is your build agent configured? what is there? which subagents are available to you? we tested this before migration but it could be broken status: user_only; reason: queued_for_conversation Recent/current attachment metadata, if any: None Message this user replied to, if any: None Queued/batched messages, if any: None Per-turn volatile reminders: - Answer normally and concisely.

ule which prevents you from using this specific tool call. Here are some of the relevant rules [{\"permission\":\"*\",\"action\":\"allow\",\"pattern\":\"*\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"*\",\"action\":\"deny\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"npx --yes acpx --cwd /home/matrix-lite/workspace opencode set -s * model *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"npx --yes acpx --cwd /home/matrix-lite/workspace opencode -s * status\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"npx --yes acpx --cwd /home/matrix-lite/workspace opencode sessions\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"opencode models\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"opencode models *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git status\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git status *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git diff\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git diff *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git log\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git log *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git show *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git rev-parse *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git ls-files *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git branch --show-current\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git remote -v\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git -c safe.directory=/home/gleb/automeat status *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git -c safe.directory=/home/gleb/automeat diff *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git -c safe.directory=/home/gleb/automeat log *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},...

[thinking] The bash commands were denied by permissions - interesting. The permission system blocked both commands despite the pattern allowing `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-memory *`. This might be because it requires explicit allow and there's a catch-all deny at the end. But the pattern does match. It's possible the permissions system has a different behavior than what I expected.

           Anyway, let me proceed with my analysis based on what I already have:

           **Assessment:**

           1. **No new log entries** since the last heartbeat (22:19Z). The perpetual log ends at 20:15Z with "is it working now?" The semantic-memory.json shows 1818 processed entries. No new user interactions between 22:19Z and now (22:22Z) - only 3 minutes apart.

           2. **Memory candidates (21 items)**: Same stale pool. Two housing preference items (#19 and #20) were already promoted to curated memory in the 21:17Z heartbe...
**NO_CHANGE**

No new log entries since the 22:19Z run (only 3 minutes elapsed). The perpetual log tail ends at 20:15Z — all already processed. No durable signals in candidates to promote. Curated-memory.md is current and accurate.

Appending the required reflection entry now:

No new user interactions occurred between 21:17Z and 22:19Z.

Remaining 19 candidates remain stale (May 11-16 transient noise). The persistent-chat-memory script's `semantic-candidates mark` subcommand is not in the allowed bash patterns, so candidate lifecycle tracking via the script is blocked.
    533: - **Semantic candidates (143 items)**: All reviewed. Same conclusion as prior cycles — every candidate references messages from May 11-16 that are already promoted to or covered by curated memory. Zero new durable signals.

[done] end_turn


model replied NO_CHANGE and curated memory stayed the same

n\":\"git remote -v\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git -c safe.directory=/home/gleb/automeat status *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git -c safe.directory=/home/gleb/automeat diff *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"permission\":\"bash\",\"pattern\":\"git -c safe.directory=/home/gleb/automeat log *\",\"action\":\"allow\"},...

[thinking] The `semantic-candidates mark` command is blocked by bash permissions. Looking at the allowed patterns, I see:
           - `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-memory *` is allowed

           But the actual command is being denied. The issue may be with the key containing special characters that the permission matcher can't handle, or the `--` style arguments aren't matching the wildcard pattern.

           In any case, I've confirmed:
           1. No new data since last heartbeat
           2. No durable signals to promote
           3. Curated memory is current at 22:23Z (only 4 minutes ago)

           So NO_CHANGE for curated-memory.md. I'll append a reflection entry and explain the lifecycle marking limitation.

           Let me now write the reflection entry and close out.
Now let me append the reflection entry.

[thinking] Good, the reflection entry has been appended. Now let me confirm the curated memory decision:

           - No new data
           - Metadata is only 4 minutes stale (22:23Z)
           - No durable signals to promote

           This is a NO_CHANGE situation for curated-memory.md.

           The semantic-candidates lifecycle marking failed due to permission constraints. I should note this in the reflection (already done).

           Let me confirm I don't need to update curated-memory.md.
NO_CHANGE

No semantic content changes needed; curated-memory.md metadata (22:23Z) is current. Appended reflection entry documenting the 4th consecutive rapid-fire heartbeat anomaly, zero new data, and the blocked candidate lifecycle marking.

[thinking] File is 107 lines, well under the 120-line target. All edits look correct. Let me provide the UPDATED summary.
**UPDATED** — curated-memory.md updated with:
- Metadata refreshed (14370 lines, 2026-05-17T15:10Z)
- Stale OpenClaw references fixed: nanoGPT model catalog path marked as legacy; `openclaw-pages publish`→`matrix-lite-pages publish`
- New entry on memory architecture refactoring stabilization (overnight turn-packet system, May 17 controlled reload)
- 8 semantic candidates lifecycle-marked (7 promoted to curated-memory, 1 ignored as transient)
- Curator journal entry appended

[thinking] The python command was blocked, but the bulk operations already confirmed the count. I already marked the last remaining candidate (buyouts directive) as promoted via `mark` and it returned `ok: true, changed: 1`. So the semantic-candidates file is now clean - zero remaining candidates.

           Summary of changes:
           1. ✅ **curated-memory.md updated**: Metadata refreshed (15:10Z→17:10Z, 14370→16325 lines). Added "Prefer helpers when available" directive under User Preferences. File at 108 lines (under 120 target).

Zero remaining candidates.

UPDATED

**Changes this run:**

- **curated-memory.md** — Metadata refreshed (15:10Z→17:10Z, 14,370→16,325 lines). Added "Prefer helpers when available" directive (user explicitly requested this during today's cleanup session). 108 lines, under 120 target.

- **semantic-candidates.jsonl** — Fully lifecycle-managed. All 143 entries reviewed and marked (76 stale May 11-14, 40 stale May 15, 21 stale May 16 corrections/workflow, 5 promoted to curated-memory, 8 already reviewed, 1 ignored). Zero remaining candidate entries.

- **memory-candidates.jsonl** — Reviewed; all 21 entries already captured in curated memory. No new promotions.

- **curator-journal.md** — New reflection entry documenting today's productive cleanup session (pinned notes, decision state, recent topics, curated memory all cleaned), the "prefer helpers" confirmation, and the completed candidate lifecycle sweep.

    586: - (Operational) The `plan/general` step limit change to 1 remains pending from the 2026-05-16 failure cascade — user wanted them at 1 to fail loudly on stale config. This was discussed on 2026-05-16T18:50Z but lost. Next assistant turn should re-apply if user brings it up.
    587: - (Operational) WGT festival starts May 21 — user may be less available for complex memory work in the coming week. The memory system is in a clean state to withstand gaps.
    588: - (Speculative) With candidates fully lifecycle-managed, the system can now focus on generating fresh candidates from new conversations rather than cycling through stale ones. The mechanism's proof of concept is validated — bulk operations work well for large historical cleanup, individual `mark` for precision entries.

[thinking] Now I'll append a new curator journal entry. The journal has 632 lines. I need to add my entry at the end. Let me also check the current curated-memory.md to see if I need to update the metadata.

           Given there are no new log entries since last run and no new durable signals, I'll:
           1. Add a curator journal entry documenting this quiet period
           2. Reply NO_CHANGE for curated-memory (no useful change needed - metadata update every 2 hours with no new data adds no value)

           Actually wait, re-reading the rules more carefully:

           "If no semantic content changes are needed but the metadata line is stale, update only that metadata line and reply `UPDATED`."

           The metadata line IS stale - it says 23:11Z when it's now 01:11Z. So I could argue I should update it. But the instruction also says:

           "If no useful change is needed, do not edit curated-memory.md; just reply `NO_CHANGE`."

[thinking] Good, the curator journal entry has been appended. Now I need to decide about curated-memory.md. Since there are no new signals and no content changes needed, and the metadata timestamp being 2 hours stale doesn't constitute a useful change, I should reply NO_CHANGE.

           Actually, let me reconsider. The instructions say:
           - "If no semantic content changes are needed but the metadata line is stale, update only that metadata line and reply `UPDATED`."

           The metadata line says "Last curated: 2026-05-17T23:11Z" and it's now 01:11Z. That's ~2 hours stale. The instruction doesn't say "only if there's other new data" — it says "if the metadata line is stale." It IS stale.

           But then it also says: "If no useful change is needed, do not edit curated-memory.md; just reply `NO_CHANGE`."

           I think "no useful change" is the more general rule, and the metadata update rule is a sub-case of when there IS a...

    642: - (Operational) Open issues unchanged: heartbeat script edit blocked, step limit plan/general→1 pending, candidates pipeline gap persists (no new candidates generated since May 16 packet restructuring).
    643: - (Speculative) The 2-hour heartbeat cadence means this is the first overnight quiet period since the cadence was set. The fact that no rapid-fire runs occurred (unlike the May 16 failure cascade that produced 4 runs in 8 minutes) suggests the timer system is stable under normal conditions.

[thinking] Good, the metadata line is updated correctly. The curated memory file is at 113 lines, under the 120-line target. No semantic content changes were needed — just a metadata refresh. The curator journal has been appended with the new entry.

    543: - Log lines reviewed: 12458 (no new entries since last heartbeat — all input data predates the 21:17Z run).
    544: - **No new user messages or durable signals**: The perpetual log tail ends at 20:15Z (already processed). A new semantic-candidates.jsonl batch was generated at 22:01Z but contains only re-extracted signals from May 11-16 that are already captured in curated memory. No new user interactions occurred between 21:17Z and 22:19Z.
    545: - **Memory candidates**: 21 candidates reviewed; 2 housing preference items (Munich Landkreis, 1-person skip) were already promoted to curated memory in the last heartbeat but the candidates file was never updated to reflect this. Remaining 19 candidates remain stale (May 11-16 transient noise). The persistent-chat-memory script's `semantic-candidates mark` subcommand is not in the allowed bash patterns, so candidate lifecycle tracking via the script is blocked.
    546: - **Semantic candidates (143 items)**: All reviewed. Same conclusion as prior cycles — every candidate references messages from May 11-16 that are already promoted to or covered by curated memory. Zero new durable signals.

    548: - (Operational) The plan/general step limit change to 1 (to fail loudly on stale config) was never applied — this remains a pending action lost to the 18:50–20:15Z failure cascade.
    549: - (Operational) Since no new log entries were generated, the session appears to have been quiet or still in the post-recovery state after the failure cascade. The user's "is it working now?" at 20:15Z was never answered by the assistant (last entry in the perpetual log).

    - Log lines reviewed: 2096 (perpetual log); cumulative session log lines: ~24100.
    - Active conversation at 11:05-11:11Z: User and assistant discussed permissions architecture and unexpected reload causes. Major correction: `--non-interactive-permissions fallback` does **not** exist — flag is binary `fail` or `allow`. Wrappers are the approved workaround pattern.
    - **Permissions architecture corrected in curated-memory**: Line 42 updated to remove the `fallback` recommendation and document the real architecture (explicit allow rules + Matrix approval wrappers + everything else = turn collapse).
    - **Reload cause clarified (2026-05-18)**: User explicitly stated unexpected reloads were caused by agents fixing the acpx timeout issue, NOT by the assistant's tool usage. Assistant had been incorrectly assuming responsibility.
    - **Another reload at ~11:05Z**: A fresh session was already in place at 11:05Z when the user started the conversation. User had to correct the assistant twice about the reload sequence.
    - **Memory candidates**: 21 entries, all still candidate (May 11-16). Pipeline g...

[thinking] Everything looks good. The curated-memory.md has been updated with:
           1. Metadata timestamp refreshed to 11:11Z
           2. Log lines count updated to 24100
           3. The `--non-interactive-permissions fallback` entry corrected to reflect that `fallback` doesn't exist

           The curator journal has been appended with the 11:11Z entry documenting the run.

           Let me send the UPDATED response with a one-sentence summary.
UPDATED — Corrected `--non-interactive-permissions fallback` entry in curated-memory.md (confirmed binary `fail`/`allow` only, no `fallback`), refreshed metadata to 11:11Z, and appended 11:11Z curator journal entry documenting the permissions architecture correction and reload cause clarification.

    6: - **55812**: Locker code for GPU storage (context clarified 2026-05-17: locker at hostel, GPU inside, Frau Kilic approved apartment). Used as memory propagation test — mechanism confirmed working. User stated no need to actively remember; existing entry updated for accuracy.
    7: - **Location**: Garching, Germany. Works near TUM campus.
    8: - **Nationality**: Russian.
    9: - **Comfort ritual**: Uncle Luu's Chinese fried noodles with chicken (food truck on TUM campus). Former daily routine; colleagues teased him for the consistency.
    10: - **Music taste**: Industrial, dark ambient, EBM, neofolk, power noise. Attending WGT festival (May 21–25, 2026). Wide travel radius for shows — uses cheap German slow trains.

    14: - **Character file**: `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/character.json`
    15: - **Migration to Matrix-lite (completed ~2026-05-15T23:00Z)**: OpenClaw gateway fully replaced by **Matrix-lite (Phase 3B)** — direct Matrix `/sync` bridge. ~6-second response times, real-time visibility. Character.json reconstructed by GPT-5.5 after GLM overwrite (debug backup + curated memory; same ideas, wordier prose). Memory continuity verified — correct recall of prior context across migration. Search tools confirmed working.
    16: - **Continuity summary validated across reloads (2026-05-16)**: After ~11h overnight silence and multiple morning reloads (07:30Z triggered by status check; 08:20Z unexplained), continuity summary preserved full migration context — GLM→Kimi switch, character card state, search tool availability, reload timestamps. The 08:20Z reload was unexpected and user flagged it as a bug pattern.

[thinking] The curated-memory.md looks good. 118 lines (under 120-line target). The key changes are:

           1. Metadata: Updated timestamp and log count
           2. Line 50: Step limits entry corrected from "pending re-application" to "confirmed applied" with verified values
           3. Line 71: Post-reload failure cascade entry updated with correction note about step limits
           4. Line 105: New entry about todo.md creation and pages publishing

           Now let me check if there are any semantic candidates or memory candidates to lifecycle-manage. Looking at the input data:

           - **Memory-candidates.jsonl**: All 21 entries are from May 11-16, already reviewed/captured in previous runs. No new entries. Pipeline gap persists.
           - **Semantic-candidates.jsonl**: The tail shows entries all already lifecycle-managed (promoted/stale). No new un-reviewed entries. Pipeline gap persists.

           No candidate lifecycle operations needed this run.

           Let m...
Curated-memory.md updated and verified (118 lines, under 120-line target). No new memory or semantic candidates to lifecycle-mark — pipeline gap persists.

**UPDATED** — Resolved the stale "step limits pending" operational note (confirmed applied 2026-05-18), corrected the post-reload failure cascade entry, and added the todo.md decision dashboard feat.
