[thinking] Let me analyze what I found:

           1. **Curated memory**: Last curated 2026-05-23T15:22Z with 3691 log lines. Current is 3754 (+63 lines). The file ends at line 146 with "Subagent deep-agent model assignments updated" - but the output was capped at 50KB. I need to check if there's more.

           2. **Operational synthesis latest**: From 2026-05-25T10:11:13Z. Notes:
              - Heartbeat failed 6th consecutive time at 09:29Z (~43h curation gap)
              - User sent second 200K+ input at 09:54Z
              - GPT-5.4 stable, 212K/1.05M tokens
              - Config mismatch: opencode.json still shows DeepSeek
              - Direct ACP stable

           3. **Memory candidates**: All 147 entries appear to have been reviewed:
              - Entries 130-147 show various statuses (candidate, ignored, needs_more_evidence, promoted)
              - The oldest unreviewed entries from 1-10 were reviewed on 2026-05-23
              - But wait - entries 130-134 still show "candidate" status! Th...
Let me continue reading the rest of curated-memory.md and check for any newer operational details.

    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.
    151: - **nanoGPT privacy trade-off accepted (2026-05-20 ~00:32Z)**: When informed that OpenRouter's fre...

[thinking] Looking at the current state:
           - curated-memory.md: Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691
           - Current metadata says log lines reviewed: 3758
           - So there are 3758 - 3691 = 67 new log lines since last curation

           I need to check if there are any new memory-candidates or semantic-candidates that need review. Let me also check the end of the curator journal to see the last entry.

    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.
    11: - **Hardware constraint**: 12GB GPU (existing setup, not upgrading anytime soon). Relevant for local model recommendations and self-hosting feasibility.

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,...

e perpetual log tail, I can see these are all maintenance turns - operational synthesis prompts and model heartbeat prompts. There are no new user messages.

           Let me check:
           1. Are there any new memory-candidates to review?
           2. Are there any new semantic-candidates to review?
           3. Is there anything in the recent conversation that should be promoted to curated-memory.md?

           Looking at the memory-candidates.jsonl provided, I see entries with timestamps like "2026-05-21T10:47:56" and statuses already set (promoted, ignored, needs_more_evidence). These appear to be from May 21.
           ...
Let me start by reading the current state of the curated memory and checking for new candidates since the last curation.

7: - **Memory candidates**: 21 candidates reviewed, none promoted. Housing preference entries (entries 19-20: Munich Landkreis area, 1-person skip, ASAP move-in, no W/M OK) were already promoted to curated memory in prior runs but never lifecycle-marked due to bash permission constraints on the `persistent-chat-memory semantic-candidates mark` subcommand.
    558: - **Semantic candidates**: All 143+ items reviewed. Zero new durable signals — the 22:01Z batch re-extracts messages from May 11-16 that are already captured in curated memory. Tried to lifecycle-mark 2 candidates as promoted via the script but the command is denied by OpenCode bash permissions despite the `*` wildcard pattern. The issue may be the long key value with special characters.

           1. **Log lines reviewed**: 3779 (current) vs 3691 (last curated) = 88 new log lines since last curation on 2026-05-23T15:22Z
           2. **No new user messages**: The log tail shows only maintenance turns (operational synthesis prompts at 16:11Z, 16:41Z, 16:48Z, 16:52Z, 17:13Z, 17:18Z, 17:23Z)
           3. **Memory-candidates**: The batch shows entries from May 21 (candidates from May 17-19). Many are already covered in curated memory:
              - #1-hmm-can-you-fix-it-yourself... (May 17) - already in curated memory (decision-state, awareness-first protocol, etc.)
              - #they-landed-please-verify (May 18) - already covered
              - #yes-let-s-try-the-decision-state (May 18) - already covered
              - #let-s-try-the-context-guard-patch (May 18) - already covered

[thinking] The metadata line needs updating. Current: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; 3691 log lines. New: 2026-05-26T17:35Z; 3779 log lines.

           I need to:
           1. Edit the metadata line in curated-memory.md
           2. Append a curator-journal note
           3. Check if any semantic candidates need marking (the 3 shown are already marked as needs_more_evidence)

           The memory-candidates batch has 15 entries, all from May 17-19. Let me review if any should be promoted:
           - Most are already in curated memory (decision-state usage, context guard patch, session start metrics, character.json trimming, 2-tier memory, on-demand MCPs, videoctl access, background synthesis)
           - Some are transient (openclaw developer $6M, permission issues "maybe tomorrow", knowledge gathering for WGT)
           - The last one (#yes-let-s-dig-deeper) is about cost-effective model testing - already marked as needs_more_evidence in the batch itself

User then explored whether local hardware (RTX 3060 12GB desktop) would be faster.

Key answer: 13B is excellent for chat, creative writing, summarization, and basic reasoning; struggles with complex multi-step reasoning, large codebases, nuanced analysis, and long-context coherence. Distilled 14B models (DeepSeek-R1-Distill, Phi-4) can partially bridge the gap.

[thinking] Now I have all the information I need. Let me plan the edits:

           1. **Update curated-memory.md metadata**: Change line 1 from `Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691` to `Last curated: 2026-05-26T17:40Z; log lines reviewed: 3781`

           2. **Add promoted items to curated-memory.md**: I'll add 3 new durable facts. Let me find a good place - probably in the "Identity & Configuration" section since they're about user preferences and architectural direction. Actually, looking at the structure:
              - Stable User Facts
              - Identity & Configuration
              - Settled Knowledge
              - German Language Support
              - Work & Workflow
              - Origins

              The new items are user preferences/directives. I'll add them in the "Identity & Configuration" section since that's where operational directives live. I'll add them before "Settled Knowledge" (around line 162).

           The metadata line is stale (3691 vs 3782). I'll update it to the current timestamp and log count.

           For the curator-journal, I need a concise 2-bullet note. Let me make it relevant: this is a permission smoke test after external_directory ordering fix, so I should note that and the metadata refresh.

           The current log lines reviewed according to the prompt is: 3786

           So I need to update the metadata line to reflect the new log count and timestamp.

           Let me read curated-memory.md first.

    5: - **Token speed discussion (20:52–21:04Z)**: User asked about tokens/second via Kimi API. Assistant explained benchmarking methods and estimated ~5–15 t/s end-to-end through nanoGPT/ACP. User then explored whether local hardware (RTX 3060 12GB desktop) would be faster. Confirmed: local 13B models would be ~3x faster (20–35 t/s) with zero API overhead, but lose the model size/capability of cloud 600B models.
    6: - **Model size tradeoffs explained (21:03Z)**: User asked what capability is lost going from cloud 600B to local 13B. Key answer: 13B is excellent for chat, creative writing, summarization, and basic reasoning; struggles with complex multi-step reasoning, large codebases, nuanced analysis, and long-context coherence. Distilled 14B models (DeepSeek-R1-Distill, Phi-4) can partially bridge the gap.
    7: - **Hardware context**: User's computers are in storage; currently using phone via Termux/mosh/tmux or laptop. Looking for new housing. Local models are future possibilities only.
    8: - Memory candidates: 10 candidates reviewed, none promoted. Hardware evaluation candidate remains exploratory/transient.
    9: - Curated memory: metadata refreshed only; no semantic content changes needed.
    10: - (Speculative) User may be seriously considering a hybrid local+cloud setup once housing is secured. The RTX 3060 12GB desktop is a more capable machine than initially assumed.

[thinking] Let me analyze the current state and perform a minimal curation pass as specified in the Focus.

           Key observations:
           1. The focus says: "Validation after safe-bash and relative edit permissions: use safe wc/tail if useful; update only curated-memory metadata line if stale; append concise curator-journal note; finish with UPDATED or NO_CHANGE."

           2. The current curated-memory.md metadata says: `Last curated: 2026-05-23T15:22Z; log lines reviewed: 3691`

           3. The current heartbeat metadata says: `Log lines reviewed: 3788`

           4. So the metadata is stale (3691 vs 3788).

           5. Looking at the bounded batches:
              - Memory-candidates: I see entries from May 21. These are older entries that may have been reviewed already. Looking at the curator journal tail, the last entry (2026-05-23T15:22Z) mentions reviewing entries 1-10 and planning to continue clearing backlog.

[thinking] The metadata line is indeed stale. Current log lines reviewed should be 3788 per the heartbeat metadata. I need to update this line.

           Let me also check if there are any semantic candidates I should mark. The three shown are already marked as "needs_more_evidence" with reviewer="model-heartbeat", so they're already lifecycle-managed.

           The memory-candidates shown are from May 21 and appear to be older entries. Looking at the curator journal, the last run (2026-05-23T15:22Z) reviewed entries 1-10 and noted that entries 1-134 remained unreviewed. But the focus says "review only the bounded candidate rows shown in this prompt" - and the bounded batch shows entries that were already reviewed or are from May 21. Since there's no new content to promote and the focus specifically says "update only curated-memory metadata line if stale", I should do just that.

           4. The curated-memory.md metadata line is stale (3691 vs 3789, and date is May 23 vs May 26).

           5. Looking at the recent curator-journal tail, I can see many "Deterministic fallback" entries from 2026-05-26T16:49Z through 18:16Z - all model-heartbeat ACPX turns ended without UPDATED/NO_CHANGE sentinel (rc=5). This indicates the heartbeat system has been failing.

[thinking] The metadata line is indeed stale. Current is 2026-05-23T15:22Z with 3691 lines, but the heartbeat says 3789 lines and current time is 2026-05-26T18:28:06Z.

           1. Update the metadata line to the new timestamp and line count
           2. Append a curator journal note
           3. Check if any semantic candidates need marking

           For the semantic candidates, looking at the batch provided:
           - All three are already marked as "needs_more_evidence" with reviewer="model-heartbeat" and review reasons. They seem appropriately marked and I don't see a strong case to promote or ignore them at this point. They were from May 21 and have already been reviewed.

           For the memory candidates, there are many from May 17-21. Looking at them:
           - Most are already captured in curated memory, decision-state, or are transient. I don't see any that need promotion.

No new unreviewed entries.\n\n**Limitations:**\n- **Curated-memory.md**: No semantic content changes needed, but metadata line is stale (last updated 2026-05-27T17:33Z, now ~10h old). Cannot update due to persistent `external_directory` permission denial on `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/*`.\n- **Curator-journal.md**: Cannot append due to same permission denial. The journal entry that would have been appended is included below for the record.\n\n**Proposed curator-journal entry (could not be written):**\n```\n## 2026-05-28T03:31Z\n\n- Semantic-candidates batch review (8 marked): Stale (3) — broker directive, subagent comparison, multi-file patch bug. Ignored (3) — transient ping/retry/review. Needs more evidence (2) — curated memory effectiveness question, fancy model should investigate failures.\n- Memory-candidates: All already reviewed. No new unreviewed entries.\n- Curated memory: No semantic changes. Metadata stale (last 2026-05-27T17:33Z). Write access unavailable.\n- Operational: No user messages since ~2026-05-25T09:54Z (~3.5 days). User likely post-WGT festival.\n- Operational: Heartbeat rc=5 pattern persists since 2026-05-26T16:49Z.\n```\n\n**Observation:** The `external_directory` permission denial preventing writes to `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/` has persisted across multiple curation runs. This blocks metadata updates and journal appends. The `persistent-chat-memory` helper script still works for semantic-candidate marking because it operates via the helper path rather than direct file access.","textLength":2223,"elapsedMs":345776}
