Summary

No new user conversation since 2026-07-05T14:18:03Z (~86 hours). System health remains green: the last model-heartbeat succeeded (2026-07-09T02:36:43Z, rc=0/acpx_rc=0, marker=UPDATED), memory-heartbeat is clean (2026-07-09T04:10:26Z, missing_runtime_entries=0, needs_sync=false), and context-guard is stable in the warn stage. The only operational activity this cycle was another re-injection of stale/resolved notices by the directed/index.json helper; the synthesis worker cleaned three duplicate entries from notices.jsonl. The chronic maintenance backlog (stale continuity-summary.txt model identity, stale decision-state.json, garbage semantic-memory.json entries, and the directed/index.json helper) remains unchanged.

Findings

1. **Stable quiet period**: No user messages, corrections, or durable facts since the hostel-eviction / housing-search turn on 2026-07-05. The conversation log row count is unchanged at 5759.

2. **Heartbeat health**: model-heartbeat succeeded at 02:36Z with UPDATED marker; memory-heartbeat at 04:10Z reports no runtime log backlog. No sync or restore issues.

3. **Context guard unchanged**: stage=warn, metric=199241/262144 (76.0% context / 82.3% usable). Handoff threshold (205822, ~85%) not reached.

4. **Duplicate notices re-injected**: The directed/index.json update at 2026-07-08T22:13:49Z re-added three resolved/obsolete notices (ChatGPT-alternatives curation action, hardening action, stale no-new-turns finding). This is the same pattern observed in previous cycles.

5. **Maintenance backlog unchanged**:

- continuity-summary.txt still reports stale model identity (kimi-for-coding/k2p6 vs live k2p7).

- decision-state.json last updated 2026-05-27; many active threads are outdated.

- semantic-memory.json still contains garbage/prompt-packet entries.

- directed/index.json helper still lacks filtering for resolved/obsolete source reports.

6. **No new Matrix-lite operational risks** this cycle beyond the persistent helper-hardening issue.

Actions Taken This Cycle

• Cleaned `notices.jsonl` from 9 to 6 entries by removing the three duplicate/obsolete entries re-injected at 2026-07-08T22:13:49Z.

• Updated `recent-topics.md` with current operational status.

• No new hypotheses or curated-memory proposals; no material user-signal change to promote.

Open Items / Recommended Next Steps

• **main-agent/curator**: Address the chronic maintenance backlog when conversation resumes:

- Fix stale model identity in continuity-summary.txt (source/memory helper update, not direct edit of the generated file).

- Refresh decision-state.json with resolved items and current open threads.

- Audit/clean semantic-memory.json garbage entries.

- Harden directed/index.json helper to skip resolved/obsolete source reports when repopulating notices.jsonl.

• **operational_synthesis**: Continue monitoring context-guard; if it crosses handoff threshold, prepare reload handoff and continuity artifacts.

• **curator**: No new memory candidates to promote; keep housing-urgency note current.

Blockers / Missing Tools / Denied Checks

• `matrix_lite_status_*` native status tools are not exposed in this worker's tool set; synthesis relies on file reads instead.

• Read access is denied for external Matrix-lite state files (`/home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl`, `observability.jsonl`, `approvals.json`), so this synthesis cannot inspect queue/session/approval failures directly.

• Bash is policy-denied for diagnostics; all checks were performed via Read/Write tools.

• No new blockers.

Curated-Memory Proposals

• None this cycle. No new durable user facts, corrections, or preferences were recorded.

Warm-Memory Changes

• Updated `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/recent-topics.md` with the 2026-07-09T04:11Z cycle summary.

Notes for Main Agent

• The housing-urgency item is already in `curated-memory.md`; if the user returns, the first priority should be checking for any housing updates or scheduling follow-up viewings.

• The model identity line in the session status bar is correct (`kimi-for-coding/k2p7`), but the generated `continuity-summary.txt` still claims `k2p6`. Avoid quoting the stale summary line as authoritative.
