Operational Synthesis Report

Summary

No new user turns since 2026-07-02T11:50:57.523436Z (~58.5 hours ago). Heartbeat, context guard, and log sync remain healthy. The main operational work this cycle was cleaning duplicate notices re-injected by a directed/index.json refresh and confirming the 2026-07-01 communication-preference signal is still waiting for curator promotion.

Evidence Reviewed

Findings

  1. Session quiet, logs in sync. No user or assistant messages since 2026-07-02T11:50:57Z. Canonical and model-conversation logs match memory-heartbeat.json counts; missing_runtime_entries=0.
  2. Heartbeat healthy. Model heartbeat at 20:30Z succeeded with UPDATED marker and real curation/reflection activity. Fast/logic heartbeat presumably healthy (no failures recorded).
  3. Context guard stable in warn stage. Metric unchanged at 197037/262144 (75.2%/81.4%) since at least 2026-07-02. No handoff pressure yet (threshold 205822 / ~85%).
  4. Duplicate notice re-injection persists. directed/index.json refresh at 2026-07-04T16:17:06Z added two stale/resolved notices (ChatGPT-alternatives curation action and the hardening action itself). This is the same pattern observed every cycle since 2026-06-24. Cleaned again; the underlying helper filtering bug remains open.
  5. Communication-preference candidate still pending. On 2026-07-01 the user corrected the assistant: "Don't include our salary speculations or unrelated discussion." The assistant folded this into the self-contained Google prompt, but it is not yet a standalone durable style preference in curated-memory.md. The 20:28Z curator run did not promote it; it remains a proposed curation item.
  6. Housing viewing passed without recorded outcome. The 2026-07-04 11:00 CEST viewing at Carl-von-Linde-Straße 41, Unterschleißheim with Armin Trakosevic occurred ~13 hours ago; no follow-up appears in logs or memory.
  7. Maintenance backlog unchanged. decision-state.json still stale (2026-05-27), semantic-memory.json still contains prompt-fragment garbage, continuity-summary.txt still claims k2p6 while live model is k2p7, and the directed/index.json helper still needs hardening.

## Summary

No new user turns since 2026-07-02T11:50:57.523436Z (~58.5 hours ago). Heartbeat, context guard, and log sync remain healthy. The main operational work this cycle was cleaning duplicate notices re-injected by a `directed/index.json` refresh and confirming the 2026-07-01 communication-preference signal is still waiting for curator promotion.

## Evidence Reviewed

- `model-conversation-log.jsonl` — 5757 rows, latest entry 2026-07-02T11:50:57Z (assistant reply).
- `perpetual-log.jsonl` — 6894 rows, ends at same turn; no new daemon/user/meta events after.
- `memory-heartbeat.json` — 2026-07-04T22:10:45Z; canonical 6894 entries, visible 5857, model-conversation 5757, restore ok, semantic_changed=true.
- `model-heartbeat.json` — 2026-07-04T20:30:11Z; rc=0, acpx_rc=0, marker=UPDATED, curated_changed=true, reflection_changed=true.
- `context-guard.json` — 2026-07-04T22:10:24Z; stage=warn, metric=197037/262144 (75.2% context / 81.4% usable), model=kimi-for-coding/k2p7.
- `curator-journal.md` — tail through 2026-07-04T20:28:42Z; no new open candidates, no semantic changes to `curated-memory.md`.
- `curated-memory.md` — timestamp refreshed 2026-07-04T20:28:42Z; no new durable bullets added this cycle.
- `operational-synthesis/actions.jsonl`, `findings.jsonl`, `hypotheses.jsonl`, `notices.jsonl` — reviewed; stale duplicate notices cleaned.
- `directed/index.json` — updated 2026-07-04T16:17:06Z; re-injected resolved/obsolete action notices again.
- `recent-topics.md` — updated warm-memory summary.

## Findings

1. **Session quiet, logs in sync.** No user or assistant messages since 2026-07-02T11:50:57Z. Canonical and model-conversation logs match `memory-heartbeat.json` counts; `missing_runtime_entries=0`.

| # | Action | Owner | Status |
|---|--------|-------|--------|
| 1 | Harden `directed/index.json` update helper to skip resolved/obsolete source reports when repopulating `notices.jsonl` | assistant/infrastructure | open |
| 2 | Promote 2026-07-01 communication preference (no salary speculation / no unrelated digression) to `curated-memory.md` | curator | proposed |

## Blockers / Missing Tools

- `bash` is denied entirely in this synthesis worker; non-mutating diagnostics cannot be run.
- Read access denied for `/home/matrix-lite/state/*.jsonl` (`turns.jsonl`, `observability.jsonl`, `approvals.json`) and `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/state/timers/timers.json`; relied on `memory-heartbeat.json` and in-scope logs instead.
- `matrix_lite_status_*` native tools are not exposed through the extended-tools proxy; only web/search/vision/playwright/Context7/gh_grep/approval helpers are available.
- Synthesis runs on `k2p6` while the live persistent-chat session is `kimi-for-coding/k2p7` (expected for background maintenance).

## Backlog Plan

- Next synthesis cycle: re-check for Ashley confirmation / housing outcome. If either arrives, ensure curator promotes durable facts.
- When the next curator/main-agent turn has edit bandwidth, prioritize the communication-preference promotion and `decision-state.json` refresh.
- Keep context guard on watch; warn stage is stable but the session has been at ~75% for several days with no new turns, so any user return will push it toward handoff quickly.

## Operational Risks / Robustness Notes

- The recurring duplicate-notice injection is low-severity but noisy; fixing the helper is the highest-value cleanup because it prevents every synthesis cycle from re-doing the same janitorial work.
- With no new user turns, context guard is static; however, the next active session will start close to the warn threshold. The main agent should be ready to advise/handoff proactively.
- Because external state files (approvals, observability, timers) are unreadable from this worker, any pending approvals or timer failures are invisible to scheduled synthesis. The main agent should check those directly when active.
