No new user turns since 2026-07-02T11:50:57Z (~64.3 hours ago). Heartbeats and context guard remain healthy/stable. The only material operational work this cycle was cleaning another recurrence of stale duplicate notices injected by directed/index.json repopulation. Maintenance backlog is otherwise unchanged.
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/model-conversation-log.jsonl` — 5757 rows, latest turn 2026-07-02T11:50:57Z.
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/memory-heartbeat.json` — 2026-07-05T04:06:36Z, canonical 6894 entries, visible 5857, restore ok, missing_runtime_entries=0.
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/model-heartbeat.json` — 2026-07-05T02:29:59Z, rc=0, acpx_rc=0, marker=UPDATED.
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/context-guard.json` — 2026-07-05T04:11:24Z, stage=warn, metric=197037/262144 (75.2% / 81.4%).
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/notices.jsonl` — 8 entries, two of which were stale duplicates from 2026-07-04T22:16:17Z.
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/actions.jsonl` — 60 entries, hardening and curation proposals still open.
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/directed/index.json` — last updated 2026-07-04T22:16:17Z.
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/recent-topics.md` — previous cycle 2026-07-04T22:11Z.
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curated-memory.md` — read-only, verified no new communication-preference bullet after curator run.
1. **Quiet session**: Last user turn remains 2026-07-02T11:50:57Z. No new messages, reloads, or meta events to process.
2. **Heartbeat healthy**: Model-heartbeat and memory-heartbeat both report success; restore is clean and no runtime entries are missing.
3. **Context guard unchanged**: Still in warn stage at 197037/262144 tokens (75.2% context, 81.4% usable). No handoff or reset pressure yet.
4. **Stale duplicate notices persist**: directed/index.json repopulation at 2026-07-04T22:16:17Z re-injected a resolved ChatGPT-alternatives curation notice and a duplicate hardening notice. This is the same pattern observed since 2026-06-24. Cleaned again this cycle; the underlying helper still needs filtering logic.
5. **Curator did not promote communication preference**: The 2026-07-01 user correction ("Don't include our salary speculations or unrelated discussion") remains a proposed durable style preference but is not yet in curated-memory.md.
6. **Maintenance backlog unchanged**: continuity-summary.txt still claims k2p6 (live is k2p7), decision-state.json is stale since 2026-05-27, and semantic-memory.json still contains low-signal/garbage entries.
| # | Action | Owner | Status |
|---|--------|-------|--------|
| 1 | Clean stale duplicate notices from notices.jsonl | operational_synthesis | **completed** this cycle |
| 2 | Harden directed/index.json update helper to skip resolved/obsolete source reports | assistant_or_infrastructure | **open** — top cleanup priority |
| 3 | Promote 2026-07-01 communication preference to curated-memory.md | curator | **proposed** |
| 4 | Fix stale model identity in continuity-summary.txt (k2p6 → k2p7) | assistant_or_curator | **open** |
| 5 | Refresh decision-state.json with resolved/current threads | main_agent_or_curator | **open** |
| 6 | Audit and clean semantic-memory.json garbage entries | curator_or_main_agent | **open** |
• No new blockers.
• Persistent restriction: `matrix_lite_status_*` native status tools are not exposed through the extended-tools proxy; Read is denied for external `/home/matrix-lite/state/*.jsonl` files (turns.jsonl, observability.jsonl, approvals.json) and timers. These are recorded but non-fatal.
• If the session remains quiet, next cycles should continue to monitor context pressure and heartbeat health.
• The `directed/index.json` helper hardening is the most recurring cleanup item and should be prioritized when a main-agent or infrastructure turn is available.
• The 2026-07-01 communication preference is a low-risk curated-memory promotion that the curator can pick up on its next real-work cycle.
• **Durable style preference (2026-07-01)**: When summarizing the user's Google Quantum AI situation or similar career/personal situations, exclude salary speculation and unrelated digression unless explicitly requested. Propose adding this as a standalone bullet under communication preferences in `curated-memory.md`.
• Updated `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/recent-topics.md` with the 2026-07-05T04:11Z cycle summary.
• Removed two stale duplicate notices from `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/notices.jsonl`.
• None. This cycle used direct file reads only.
