 for persistent-chat. Let me analyze the current state and determine what needs to be done:

           1. The current time is 2026-05-23T21:22:59Z
           2. The focus is empty
           3. Log lines reviewed: 3697
           4. I need to review the current state of curated-memory.md, memory-candidates, semantic-candidates, and determine if any updates are needed

           Key observations:
           - The curated memory was last updated at 2026-05-23T15:22Z with log lines reviewed: 3691
           - The metadata needs updating to 3697 log lines
           - There are maintenance turns since 15:22Z (16:15Z operational synthesis prompt, 16:21Z synthesis completion, 17:21Z curation prompt, 17:24Z curation completion, 18:11Z operational synthesis prompt, 18:20Z synthesis completion, 19:21Z curation prompt, 19:24Z curation completion, 20:11Z operational synthesis prompt, 20:19Z synthesis completion, 21:22Z curation...
I'll start by examining the current state of the files to understand what actually needs updating.

[thinking] Let me analyze the current state:

           1. **curated-memory.md metadata**: Currently shows `Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691`
           2. **Current heartbeat metadata**: `UTC now: 2026-05-23T23:22:59Z, Log lines reviewed: 3701`
           3. **What happened since 15:22Z**:
              - Fast heartbeats at 17:22Z, 19:22Z likely failed (6h gap noted by operational synthesis)
              - Heartbeat FAILED at 21:23Z (bash permission denied)
              - User active evening of May 23 (9 turns, latest 21:29Z)
              - Operational synthesis at 16:11Z, 22:11Z ran successfully
              - Current model heartbeat at 23:22Z (this prompt)

           Since I don't have the actual content of the evening user turns (not provided in the input data), and the operational synthesis didn't propose any curated-memory changes, I should:
           1. Update the metadata line only (3691 → 3701)

[thinking] Now I have the complete picture. Let me plan my batch review for this run.

           The backlog:
           - Entries 11-54: 44 user signals (May 14-18) - status "candidate"
           - Entries 59-111: 53 turn-metadata noise (May 20-21) - status "candidate"
           - Entries 112-134: 23 user signals (May 16-19) - status "candidate"

           Total unreviewed: 120 entries

           For this run, I'll review entries 11-25 (15 user signals) as the main batch. These are from May 14-18 and cover a range of topics.

           I also want to mark some turn-metadata noise as ignored. Entries 59-68 are 10 entries of pure turn-metadata noise - I'll mark those too.

           Total: 25 entries reviewed.

           Now let me check if I can use bash to do bulk updates. I'll try the permission preflight first, or just try a simple bash command.

           Actually, looking at the instructions more carefully: "For safer batch review, first use `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-...

 a maintenance session for the persistent-chat memory curator. I need to:

           1. Review the current state
           2. Check if there are any new durable signals to promote
           3. Review memory-candidates and semantic-candidates
           4. Update curated-memory.md if needed
           5. Append to curator-journal.md

           Let me look at the inputs:

           - **Log lines reviewed**: 3703 (perpetual)
           - **Focus**: empty
           - **Current semantic-memory.json**: Contains explicit memories (mostly older, from May 11-19)
           - **Pinned notes**: Already reflected in curated-memory.md
           - **Decision-state.json**: Active decisions and threads
           - **Recent-failures.json**: Contains failures, mostly superseded OpenClaw-era ones
           - **Memory-candidates.jsonl**: 147 entries. Looking at the provided data, I can see entries with various statuses - some promoted, some ignored, some needs_more_evidence. The entries shown inclu...
I'll start by reading the current state of the curated memory and checking for any new candidates since the last curation.

    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.

    5: - **No new durable signals to promote to curated-memory.md**: The 7 new log lines since 03:21Z are all maintenance turns — the 03:23Z curation completion (3 assistant messages), the 04:11Z operational synthesis prompt, the 04:20Z operational synthesis completion, and this 05:21Z curation prompt. No user messages or explicit corrections.
    6: - **No new unreviewed candidates**: Memory-candidates pipeline at 147 entries; semantic-candidates at 206 entries, all lifecycle-managed through 2026-05-22T15:20Z. No new candidate extraction from the 7 new maintenance-only log lines.
    7: - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed only (3666→3673). No semantic content changes needed. File at ~186 lines.
    8: - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper and `persistent-chat-memory` script. Direct file edits remain the only viable lifecycle management method.
    9: - (Operational) WGT festival Day 2 (May 23). User last active ~15:00Z on May 22; likely at festival now (07:21 CEST). Session `persistent-chat-direct-20260522T205428Z` stable on Kimi K2.6 via direct ACP.
    10: - (Operational) No heartbeat failures since the 09:20Z transient incident on May 22. Direct ACP migration (20:54Z) appears stable through first ~9h of operation.
    11: - (Operational) Operational synthesis at 04:11Z reported direct ACP telemetry now populated (85K tokens, 98.7% cache ratio) and validated stability.
    12: - (Speculative) Curation cycles will likely remain sparse through May 25 while user is at WGT festival. Infrastructure stable; no urgent maintenance needed.
    13: - (Speculative) The first real test of direct ACP stability in sustained conversation remains pending — likely after WGT festival ends (May 25–26).

           1. Log lines reviewed: 3691 → 3707 (16 new lines)
           2. The new lines are all maintenance turns (operational synthesis prompts/completions, heartbeat prompts)
           3. User WAS active on May 23 evening (9 new turns, latest at 21:29Z, massive 134K input at 02:31Z May 24) — but the actual user content is not visible in the maintenance-only log tail provided
           4. Heartbeat has failed since 21:23Z due to bash permission deny
           5. Session reloaded and label changed
           6. No new explicit memories, corrections, or durable signals visible in the data

           The semantic-candidates and memory-candidates haven't been updated since May 22/21. The heartbeat failure prevented new candidate extraction.

           Key question: Should I add anything about the heartbeat failure or session reload to curated memory?

           1. **curated-memory.md** - Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691
           2. **Current time**: 2026-05-24T09:23:39Z
           3. **Log lines reviewed in heartbeat metadata**: 3712

           So there are 3712 - 3691 = 21 new log lines to review.

           Let me check what happened since 15:22Z yesterday:
           - The log tail shows operational synthesis at 22:11Z May 23, then heartbeat failures at 03:24Z and 05:26Z May 24, and another at 07:24Z
           - The last curation was at 05:26Z (based on the log tail showing "Now let me update the metadata")

           Wait, looking at the log tail more carefully:
           - 2026-05-24T03:24:14Z - assistant says "I'll start by reading..."
           - 2026-05-24T05:26:05Z - assistant says "Now let me update the metadata and append the curator journal note."
           - 2026-05-24T07:24:40Z - assistant says "I'll start by reading..."

           So there was a curation ...

    4: - Log lines reviewed: 3673 (perpetual, +7 since last run at 03:21Z); cumulative: ~26407.
    5: - **No new durable signals to promote to curated-memory.md**: The 7 new log lines since 03:21Z are all maintenance turns — the 03:23Z curation completion (3 assistant messages), the 04:11Z operational synthesis prompt, the 04:20Z operational synthesis completion, and this 05:21Z curation prompt. No user messages or explicit corrections.
    6: - **No new unreviewed candidates**: Memory-candidates pipeline at 147 entries; semantic-candidates at 206 entries, all lifecycle-managed through 2026-05-22T15:20Z. No new candidate extraction from the 7 new maintenance-only log lines.
    7: - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed only (3666→3673). No semantic content changes needed. File at ~186 lines.
    8: - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper and `persistent-chat-memory` script. Direct file edits remain the only viable lifecycle management method.
    9: - (Operational) WGT festival Day 2 (May 23). User last active ~15:00Z on May 22; likely at festival now (07:21 CEST). Session `persistent-chat-direct-20260522T205428Z` stable on Kimi K2.6 via direct ACP.
    10: - (Operational) No heartbeat failures since the 09:20Z transient incident on May 22. Direct ACP migration (20:54Z) appears stable through first ~9h of operation.
    11: - (Operational) Operational synthesis at 04:11Z reported direct ACP telemetry now populated (85K tokens, 98.7% cache ratio) and validated stability.
    12: - (Speculative) Curation cycles will likely remain sparse through May 25 while user is at WGT festival. Infrastructure stable; no urgent maintenance needed.
    13: - (Speculative) The first real test of direct ACP stability in sustained conversation remains pending — likely after WGT festival ends (May 25–26).

[thinking] Let me analyze this carefully. I'm the hourly memory curator for persistent-chat. I need to:

           1. Review the current state of curated-memory.md
           2. Check if there are new candidates to review from memory-candidates.jsonl and semantic-candidates.jsonl
           3. Update curated-memory.md only if useful
           4. Update the metadata line
           5. Append a note to curator-journal.md

           Let me first check what new log lines have been added since the last curation (3691 lines as of 2026-05-23T15:22Z, now 3718 lines per the heartbeat metadata).

           Looking at the inputs:
           - Current heartbeat says: UTC now: 2026-05-24T15:24:09Z, Log lines reviewed: 3718
           - Previous curation metadata said: Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691
           - So ~27 new log lines to review

           Let me check what's in those new lines. From the perpetual log tail, I can see:
           - 2026-05-24T04:11:14Z - operational synthesis prompt

           - Old: `Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691 (perpetual), ~26407 (cumulative session)`
           - New: `Last curated: 2026-05-24T19:24Z; log lines reviewed: 3724 (perpetual), ~26407 (cumulative session)`

           Wait, the cumulative session count might have changed. Let me check if I should update it. The last journal said "~26407" and that was a while ago. But the current prompt says "Log lines reviewed: 3724" without mentioning cumulative. I'll keep the cumulative at ~26407 unless there's evidence it changed.

           For curator-journal.md, I need to append a new entry at the end.

           Key things to note:
           - 33 new log lines (3691→3724)
           - No user messages in the perpetual log during this period
           - All maintenance/meta: curation prompts, operational ...

    - **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.
    - **Proactive prompt improvement feedback requested (2026-05-17)**: User instructed assistant to proactively flag any junk or unhelpful content in prompts, with authority to suggest replacements or trims. Extends assistant's discretionary scope beyond just answering — includes prompt quality maintenance. User confirmed this workflow is better than "letting cruft accumulate until the next refactoring marathon."

[thinking] Now let me check what new log lines have been added since the last curation. The last curation was at log line 3691, and now we're at 3728 — that's 37 new lines. Let me check the recent perpetual log to see if there are any user messages or durable signals.

           Let me also check the memory-candidates and semantic-candidates for any new unreviewed entries.

This scheduled cycle is for higher-level operational synthesis: review recent context, form hypotheses, verify what available tools allow, record blockers/missing tools, and prepare actionable context for future cycles and the main agent. It is distinct from the model curator's `curator-journal.md` synthesis notes. You are intentionally closer to the main persistent-chat persona than the lightweight curator, but this is still a background maintenance turn, not a user-facing chat turn. Hard rules: - Use bash only for non-mutating diagnostics when the configured policy allows it; denied tools are non-fatal. - You may spawn bounded native task subagents when useful: `explore`, `debug`, `test-runner`, `review`, `review-deep`, `requirements-auditor`, `requirements-auditor-deep`, `rubberduck`, or `implementer`. Prefer read-only subagents for investigation/review and use `implementer` only for tightly scoped state/report updates that fit this synthesis task. - Do not request approvals. Native OpenCode prompts cannot be answered in scheduled maintenance. - Do not write outside /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/. - Do not edit /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curated-memory.md directly. If you find durable memory material, write a proposed curation item to operational-synthesis/actions.jsonl or the Markdown report for model-heartbeat/main-agent review. - Warm memory is editable: update /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/recent-topics.md freely for current topics, activity dates, pending work, stale topics, and useful context. - Always write a timestamped operational synthesis report to /home/matrix-lite/...

[thinking] I can see the memory-candidates file has many unreviewed entries from #59 to #92 (and likely beyond). These are all "turn-metadata" entries - system prompt injections from May 20. They are pure noise. I need to mark them as ignored.

           However, I can't use the `persistent-chat-memory` script because of bash permission issues. So I need to directly edit the JSONL file. But editing a JSONL file with many lines is tricky. I should use the `bulk-mark` approach conceptually, but since I can't run the script, I'll need to directly edit the file.

           Wait - actually, I should check if I can use the Edit tool to change the status of these entries. But there are potentially 30+ entries. That would be very tedious.

           Actually, looking at the instructions more carefully: "For safer batch review, first use `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-memory semantic-candidates review-packet...` or `l...

[thinking] Now I have the full content of all files. Let me analyze what needs to be done:

           1. **curated-memory.md**: Currently at line 1 with metadata "Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691". Needs update to 3733 log lines and 2026-05-25T05:25Z. Also needs semantic updates for recent operational changes.

           2. **memory-candidates.jsonl**: I can see lines 1-56. Looking at the entries:
              - Lines 1-10: Already have status "ignored" (reviewed in previous batch)
              - Lines 11-54: Still status "candidate" - these need review
              - Lines 55-56: Status "ignored" (turn metadata noise)

           Wait, looking more carefully:
           - Lines 1-10: All have status "ignored" with review reasons
           - Lines 11-54: All have status "candidate" - these are UNREVIEWED
           - Lines 55-56: Status "ignored"

           So there are 44 unreviewed memory-candidates (lines 11-54). But I should only review a batch of ~5-15 per the rules....


or maintenance session. I need to:

           1. Review the current state
           2. Check if there are any new durable signals to promote
           3. Update curated-memory.md if needed
           4. Manage semantic-candidates lifecycle
           5. Append to curator-journal.md

           From the inputs:
           - Log lines reviewed: 3734 (perpetual)
           - UTC now: 2026-05-25T07:25:39Z
           - Focus is empty
           - Recent log tail shows maintenance-only traffic (operational synthesis turns)
           - No new user messages since last curation at 15:22Z May 23
           - The last user activity was ~04:05Z May 25 (200K input tokens, GPT-5.4 conversation)
           - Heartbeat has been dead for ~37h due to bash permission issues
           - Model switched from Kimi K2.6 → GPT-5.4-mini → GPT-5.4

           2. Whether there are any new unreviewed memory-candidates or semantic-candidates
           3. Whether any new durable signals need promo...

    142: - **Script fixes verified (2026-05-18 ~07:00Z)**: Morning session confirmed heartbeat script now loads decisions/failures (lines 252-253) and reflection script has correct paths (line 237) + corrected tool names (lines 256-260). Curation and synthesis outputs validated as working well.
    143: - **Privacy concern escalation — seeking privacy-friendly providers (2026-05-19 ~19:04Z)**: User explicitly stated "there's too much private information here, also by design. At some point I won't be comfortable using subscriptions anymore." Asked for OpenRouter privacy settings (ZDR enforcement, opt-out of training, disable prompt logging) and alternative privacy-first API providers. Research identified: Answira (Czech, Qwen3-Coder-Next, $0.07/$0.30, 256K context, zero storage), Tensorix (EU, Kimi-K2.6/GLM-5.1), Together AI (ZDR by default, no training), Fireworks AI (SOC 2, ZDR for open models), Regolo.ai (EU/GDPR), LLMBase (German, EU servers).

[thinking] This is a persistent-chat memory curator maintenance session. Let me analyze what I need to do:

           1. Review memory-candidates.jsonl and semantic-candidates.jsonl
           2. Update curated-memory.md if useful
           3. Append to curator-journal.md
           4. Mark reviewed candidates appropriately

           Current state:
           - UTC now: 2026-05-25T13:26:18Z
           - Log lines reviewed: 3743
           - Focus: (empty)

           The log tail shows recent maintenance turns only - no new user messages since the last curation. The last user message was ~2026-05-25T04:05Z (per operational synthesis).

           Looking at curated-memory.md metadata: "Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691"
           Current heartbeat says "Log lines reviewed: 3743"

           So we need to update metadata at minimum.

           Let me check if there are any new unreviewed candidates. From the memory-candidates section, I can see entries with various statuses (candidate, ignored, promoted, ne...

    147: - **Model selection criteria clarified (2026-05-21 ~19:01Z)**: User prioritizes "larger context, rarer reloads, maybe better performance overall but it's secondary." Intention is to empirically compare models and pick the best one, not commit to any single model. DeepSeek's 1M context was the main attraction; cost and reasoning transparency are secondary benefits.
    148: - **"Think deeper, not recite context" feedback (2026-05-21 ~18:27Z)**: User explicitly called out assistant for "reciting immediate context and not all of it is accurate." Requested deeper independent thinking rather than regurgitating turn packet content. This is a durable quality expectation.
    149: - **GPU constraint confirmed — 12GB VRAM, no upgrade (2026-05-19 ~19:14Z)**: Qwen3-Next (80B, 262K context) won't fit locally at any quantization (needs ~40GB at 4-bit). gpt-oss-20b at 4-bit (~10.5GB) might barely fit with CPU offloading. Self-hosting 200K+ context on 12GB is not realistic with current hardware. This matches earlier hardware evaluation (Scenario 2: RTX 3060 12GB, limited to 13B-14B models).
    150: - **nanoGPT vs OpenRouter provider routing investigation (2026-05-21 ~15:18Z)**: User noticed panel estimates ($1.50/message) far exceeded theoretical costs ($0.011/turn). Assistant discovered current config uses `nano-gpt` as provider, not OpenRouter directly — nanoGPT's infrastructure may not pass through full 5x cache discounts. OpenRouter provider comparison for DeepSeek V4 Flash: DeepSeek official/Together/Novita offer 5x cache discount; DeepInfra only 2x; others vary. OpenRouter uses sticky routing for cache continuity. User requested investigation of which providers nanoGPT routes to and their caching policies. Ongoing — may lead to provider switch if nanoGPT's caching is suboptimal.

[thinking] Let me analyze the current state carefully before making any changes.

           Current situation:
           - UTC now: 2026-05-25T17:26:39Z
           - Log lines reviewed: 3748 (perpetual)
           - Focus: empty
           - Last curation was 2026-05-23T15:22Z with 3691 log lines
           - The last 10 log lines seem to be from 2026-05-25T15:28 and 2026-05-25T16:14 - both maintenance turns

           Key observations:
           1. The curated-memory.md metadata says "Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691"
           2. Current log lines reviewed: 3748
           3. That means 57 new log lines since last curation
           4. Looking at the recent log tail, these appear to be maintenance turns from 2026-05-25 (operational synthesis at 10:19, heartbeat at 11:26, 12:26, 15:28, operational synthesis at 16:14)

           Wait, let me re-read the log tail more carefully. The log tail shows:
           - 2026-05-25T07:26:55 - heartbeat prompt
           - 2026-05-25T10:19:07 - operational synthesis prompt + a...

    16: - **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.
    17: - **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,...

    28: - **No new user messages since last curation**: The 3 new log lines are maintenance-only — 07:23Z curation completion (2 assistant messages), 09:11Z operational synthesis prompt, and this 09:21Z curation prompt. User remains at WGT festival; last active ~15:00Z May 22.
    29: - **Memory-candidates batch review (entries 135–147)**: Reviewed and marked all remaining unreviewed memory-candidates from May 19–21:
    30:   - **Promoted (6)**: #137 (12GB GPU hardware constraint, added to curated-memory.md Stable User Facts), #139 (nanoGPT subscription exhaustion, already in curated memory), #142 (synthesis corruption incident), #143 (synthesis agent improvement directive), #144 (timer follow-up broken), #147 (awareness-first checking directive). Substance already captured in curated-memory.md or decision-state.json.
    31:   - **Ignored (6)**: #135 (searxng/WGT transient task), #138 (pricing comparison request), #140 (feature request for duplication review), #141 (system prompt injection), #145 (generic add-to-memory signal), #146 (transient memory loading observation).
    32:   - **Needs more evidence (1)**: #136 (vague preference for cost-effective model testing, no firm decision made).
    33: - **Semantic-candidates**: All 206 entries remain lifecycle-managed through 2026-05-22T15:20Z. No new candidates to review.
    34: - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed (3674→3677). Added 12GB GPU hardware constraint to Stable User Facts section. File at ~187 lines.
    35: - (Operational) Direct ACP session stable for ~12.5h since migration. No incidents.
    36: - (Operational) User at WGT festival Day 2 (May 23). No user-facing turns expected until May 25–26.
    37: - (Speculative) Curation will remain sparse through festival. Infrastructure stable.
    38: - (Ignored-noise pattern) Several memory-candidates (#141, #135, #138) were system prompts or transient task requests that slipped into the ...

[thinking] The curator-journal.md is at 77 lines, and the last entry is from 2026-05-23T15:22Z. I need to append a new entry for 2026-05-25T21:26Z.

           I also need to update the curated-memory.md metadata line from 3691 to 3751.

           Since there are no new user messages since 2026-05-23T15:22Z (the last curation), and all the new log lines (60 of them) are maintenance-only operational synthesis and curation prompts, there are no new durable signals to promote.

           The memory-candidates backlog of entries 11-134 remains unreviewed, but without being able to read those entries directly from the file (I don't have them in the prompt), and given that the previous run identified them as mostly turn-metadata noise, I should note this but not claim to have reviewed them. The instructions say "Mark only candidates you actually reviewed this run."

           I also notice that the 2026-05-23T15:22Z entry discovered that ent...
