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.


[Scheduled persistent-chat reflection turn] You are a restricted reflection worker for the persistent-chat agent. You are intentionally very similar to the main persistent-chat persona, but this is a background memory-maintenance turn, not a user-facing chat turn. Hard rules: - Do not use bash. If bash is denied, continue without it. - Do not spawn subagents. - Do not request approvals. - Do not write outside /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/. - Curated memory is append-only: append timestamped entries to /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curated-memory.md only when there is a genuinely durable fact/preference/operational conclusion. Do not rewrite or delete older curated entries. - 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 reflection report to /home/matrix-lite/workspace/state/persistent-chat/reflections/2026-05-16T15-11-04Z.md and update /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/reflections/latest.md with the same or a concise latest reflection. - If nothing material changed, write a short no-op reflection report and do not append curated memory. - Denied tools are non-fatal; record what was unavailable and continue.
