Summary

• No new user turns since 2026-07-05T14:18:03Z (~96 hours quiet by cycle time). Latest topic remains the urgent housing search after hostel eviction; no new activity on Google HM scheduling or ImmoScout.
• Heartbeats healthy: model-heartbeat.json 2026-07-09T14:36:32Z rc=0 acpx_rc=0 marker=UPDATED; memory-heartbeat.json 2026-07-09T16:10:55Z reports missing_runtime_entries=0, needs_sync=false, 6896 canonical / 5759 model-conversation rows.
• Context guard stable in warn stage: context-guard.json 2026-07-09T16:10:34Z stage=warn, metric=199241/262144 (76.0% context, 82.3% usable). No reset needed; handoff threshold 205822 (~85%) not yet reached.
• Duplicate notices cleaned again: directed/index.json update at 2026-07-09T10:19:59Z re-injected four resolved/obsolete entries; notices.jsonl was pruned back to six canonical open notices. The root helper still needs hardening.
• New operational finding: Curator ACPX session is now denied native Read/Edit tools on /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/*; it falls back to a single-line python3 bash workaround and still succeeds. This worker can use native Read/Edit tools, so the denial is specific to the curator's session/environment.
• Maintenance backlog unchanged: stale decision-state.json, semantic-memory.json garbage entries, and stale continuity-summary.txt model identity remain open.

Findings

1. No new user turns since 2026-07-05T14:18:03Z (~96 hours). The last exchange was the hostel-eviction message; assistant asked for budget and move-in date and offered a fresh ImmoScout search. No follow-up recorded. Housing remains the highest-priority pending user thread.
2. Heartbeat and sync are healthy. model-heartbeat reports UPDATED and curated-memory changed; memory-heartbeat reports no missing runtime entries and no sync need. No candidate backlogs are open (per curator MCP).
3. Duplicate notices re-injection persists. directed/index.json updated at 2026-07-09T10:19:59Z and re-injected four resolved/obsolete notices (resolved ChatGPT-alternatives curation, the hardening action itself, and stale no-new-turns findings). This is the same pattern observed since 2026-06-24. notices.jsonl was pruned from 12 to 6 entries this cycle.
4. Curator ACPX session now denied native Read/Edit tools. The 2026-07-09T14:35:14Z curator entry reports: *"Read/Edit tools denied for /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/*; single-line python3 bash workaround succeeded."* This is the first time the denial has been explicitly recorded in the journal tail. The operational-synthesis worker can still use native Read/Edit tools, so the restriction is session-specific.
5. Context guard stable. Token usage at 199241/262144 (76.0% / 82.3% usable). The metric has been flat for multiple cycles because no new user turns are being added. No reload pressure.
6. Pending external events unchanged. 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+). The Unterschleißheim viewing on 2026-07-04 11:00 CEST occurred; no outcome recorded.

Actions

| # | Action | Owner | Status | Notes |

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

| 1 | Prune notices.jsonl duplicate entries | operational_synthesis | completed | Removed 6 duplicate/obsolete entries re-injected at 2026-07-09T10:19:59Z; retained 6 canonical open notices. |

| 2 | Update latest.md and recent-topics.md | operational_synthesis | completed | This cycle's state recorded. |

| 3 | Harden directed/index.json update helper | assistant/infrastructure | open | Helper still injects resolved/obsolete source reports. Add status filter or skip-list. |

| 4 | Investigate curator ACPX Read/Edit denial | assistant/infrastructure | open | Curator denied native Read/Edit tools on persistent-chat files; python3 bash workaround still works. Determine if permission regression or expected. |

| 5 | Refresh decision-state.json | main_agent/curator | open | Stale since 2026-05-27; many resolved threads (Kimi cutover, truncation fix, ChatGPT alternatives, Google AI Ultra evaluation) need closure. |

| 6 | Clean semantic-memory.json garbage entries | curator/main_agent | open | Prompt-packet fragments and low-signal keys remain. |

| 7 | Fix stale model identity in continuity-summary.txt | assistant/curator | open | Claims k2p6 while live model is k2p7. Update via source helper, not direct edit. |

Blockers

• Bash denied for all commands: even non-mutating diagnostics (e.g., echo) are rejected by the permission layer. This limits diagnostic commands but does not block native tool use.
• **matrix_lite_status_* tools not exposed**: not available in the extended-tools manifest or the native tool set, so session/subagent/timer status cannot be verified directly.
• Curator ACPX session denied Read/Edit tools: persistent-chat files require a python3 bash workaround for the curator. The workaround succeeds, but it is brittle and may fail if the environment changes.
• **Read denied for external /home/matrix-lite/state/*.jsonl**: turns.jsonl, observability.jsonl, and approvals.json are outside the allowed namespace for this worker. Log state is verified via memory-heartbeat.json and model-conversation-log.jsonl instead.

Backlog Plan

• Next scheduled cycle (2026-07-09T22:11Z): check for user return; if still quiet, continue monitoring context guard and heartbeat health. If any user activity occurs, prioritize housing and Google HM threads.
• Main agent should: fix the directed/index.json helper to skip resolved/obsolete reports; investigate curator Read/Edit denial; refresh decision-state.json and clean semantic-memory.json; fix continuity-summary.txt model identity.
• If Google HM call is confirmed or housing search yields actionable results, the curator should promote these to curated-memory.md.
