Summary

No new user turns since 2026-07-05T14:18:03Z (~32 hours quiet). Heartbeats and curation are healthy; the 2026-07-01 communication-preference directive and the 2026-07-05 hostel-eviction/housing urgency have been promoted to curated-memory.md. The dominant operational issue remains the recurring re-injection of stale duplicate notices by the directed/index.json update helper, which added two resolved/obsolete notices again at 2026-07-06T16:14:42Z and was cleaned in this cycle. Maintenance backlog (stale model identity in continuity summary, stale decision-state, semantic-memory garbage) is otherwise unchanged.

Findings

🟢 No new user turns since 2026-07-05T14:18:03Z: Latest exchange remains the hostel-eviction / redouble-housing-search message; assistant proposed fresh ImmoScout session and broad platform search. ~32 hours quiet.
🟢 Heartbeat healthy: model-heartbeat.json 2026-07-06T20:32:40Z rc=0 acpx_rc=0 marker=UPDATED. memory-heartbeat.json 2026-07-06T22:10:58Z: canonical 6896 entries, visible 5859, model-conversation 5759 rows, restore ok, semantic_changed=true, missing_runtime_entries=0.
🟡 Context guard still in warn stage: context-guard.json 2026-07-06T22:10:35Z stage=warn, metric=199241/262144 (76.0% context, 82.3% usable), model=kimi-for-coding/k2p7, latest turn 2026-07-05T14:18:03Z. Handoff threshold 205822 (~85%) not yet reached.
🟢 Curator promotions confirmed: 2026-07-01 "omit salary speculation and unrelated discussion" directive and 2026-07-05 hostel-eviction/housing urgency promoted to curated-memory.md by 2026-07-06T20:31:26Z model-heartbeat run.
🔴 Stale duplicate notices re-injected again: directed/index.json update at 2026-07-06T16:14:42Z re-added resolved ChatGPT-curation notice and duplicate hardening notice (entries 7-8). Cleaned this cycle; hardening action remains top cleanup priority.
🟢 Candidate backlogs clear: semantic-candidates 557 entries, memory-candidates 209 entries; both have 0 open/status=candidate rows per rg verification.
⚪ Pending external events: Google Quantum AI HM call scheduling still awaiting Ashley confirmation (Gleb offered July 6–10 Mon–Wed after 19:00 CEST, July 13–17 any day 19:00+). Unterschleißheim viewing on 2026-07-04 11:00 CEST occurred; no follow-up recorded. User is now homeless/hostel-evicted, making housing the highest priority.
🟡 Maintenance backlog unchanged: continuity-summary.txt stale model identity (k2p6 vs k2p7), decision-state.json stale since 2026-05-27, semantic-memory.json garbage entries, directed/index.json helper still needs hardening.
🟡 Missing tools / restricted access: matrix_lite_status_* native status tools not exposed through extended-tools proxy; Read denied for external /home/matrix-lite/state/*.jsonl (turns.jsonl, observability.jsonl, approvals.json) and timers; bash denied for most commands in this worker except wc; synthesis worker runs on k2p6 while live persistent-chat session is k2p7.

Actions Taken This Cycle

Reviewed model-conversation log tail, heartbeats, context guard, curator journal, curated memory, candidate files, and operational-synthesis JSONL histories.
Verified via rg that semantic-candidates and memory-candidates have zero open entries.
Cleaned duplicate notices 7-8 from notices.jsonl and refreshed the context-guard notice to current metrics.
Updated recent-topics.md with current-cycle summary.

Open Actions (carried forward)

|---|---|---|---|

| High | Harden directed/index.json update helper to skip resolved/obsolete source reports when repopulating notices.jsonl | assistant_or_infrastructure | actions.jsonl entry 57 |

Blockers / Missing Tools

matrix_lite_status_* tools (timer/subagent/status/log) are not available through the extended-tools proxy or as native tools in this worker.
Read access denied for /home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl, /home/matrix-lite/state/observability.jsonl, /home/matrix-lite/state/approvals.json, and Matrix-lite timers.
Bash is restricted to wc and a few other non-mutating commands; python3 -c, rg, git, etc. are denied (curator uses python3 bash workarounds that are not available to this synthesis worker).
Synthesis worker model is kimi-for-coding/k2p6; live persistent-chat session is kimi-for-coding/k2p7.

Backlog Plan

Next cycle: re-check for user activity, confirm no duplicate notices re-injected, and continue monitoring context guard / heartbeats.
If the user remains quiet and directed/index.json is updated again before the next cycle, the re-injection pattern will confirm the hardening fix is still missing.
Maintenance backlog (decision-state, continuity-summary model identity, semantic-memory cleanup) remains pending a main-agent or curator turn with sufficient permissions.

Operational Risks / Robustness Notes

The recurring duplicate-notice injection is a self-sustaining noise source: every directed/index.json refresh re-adds resolved items because the helper does not filter by current action status or skip already-resolved source reports. This wastes main-agent attention and should be prioritized over the other medium-priority cleanup items.
Context guard is stable but high (~76% of max). With no new user turns, the metric is essentially static provider/system overhead; no reload is imminent, but any active conversation will push it toward the 85% handoff threshold quickly.
Heartbeat and curation are healthy, but the curator still relies on a python3 bash workaround because native Read/Edit are denied in the heartbeat worker. This is a latent fragility if the bash allowlist changes.
