Operational Synthesis

• completed: 2026-08-21T22:11:05Z
• status: completed
• scope: scheduled persistent-chat operational synthesis

Summary

The memory/runtime path is healthy, but the scheduled operational worker remains unverified and has a durable open configuration risk: historical failures and the open action still target obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6. The latest model heartbeat succeeded (rc=0, acpx_rc=0, NO_CHANGE) and memory restore succeeded; this does not prove the scheduled worker is repaired. No direct user turn has appeared since 2026-08-17, when the user deferred housing/inbox work to prepare a Google interview talk.

Evidence

• memory-heartbeat.json at 2026-08-21T22:06:54Z: restore ok=true, 7,476 entries, semantic state changed; model-conversation-log has 6,342 filtered rows / 3,664 runtime rows.
• model-heartbeat.json at 2026-08-21T21:41:13Z: rc=0, acpx_rc=0, marker NO_CHANGE, no curated-memory change.
• model-conversation-log.jsonl latest direct activity: 2026-08-17T16:13:41Z assistant acknowledgement of the user's Google interview-talk preparation; the preceding OpenAI auth-disconnect test recovered successfully.
• Open action 2026-08-17 remains unresolved: repair scheduled-worker model/config selection and verify two consecutive successful worker runs.
• semantic-candidates.jsonl is large (~659 KB); sampled records are explicitly stale and reviewed. Candidate lifecycle remains curator-owned; no promotion is proposed from this cycle.
• directed/latest.md has no report newer than 2026-06-10; directed/index.json was updated 2026-08-21 but contains only old directed reports. No new directed intent is present.

Findings and hypotheses

1. Verified healthy: fast memory restore and model-heartbeat are functioning independently of the scheduled synthesis worker.
2. Open operational risk: the scheduled worker may still fail before producing a report because its model selection is stale. Healthy model-heartbeat is not evidence of scheduled-worker health.
3. No backlog inference: canonical/model log row differences are expected filtering/deduplication. Current activity is verified from the preferred model log; backlog-status could not be independently checked.
4. Warm context: preserve the Google interview-talk priority. The ImmoScout inbox retry remains authenticate-first, draft-only, and confirmation-gated; do not send externally without confirmation.

Actions

• Main agent/infrastructure: repair the scheduled worker's source/config model selection, then verify two consecutive scheduled successes. Do not edit generated summaries as a workaround.
• Main agent/infrastructure: when control-plane access is available, check persistent_chat_log_backlog_status, timers, subagents, and observability independently; record missing_runtime_entries/needs_sync rather than comparing raw log counts.
• Curator/main agent: consider later cleanup of stale semantic-memory entries and refresh of stale decision-state.json; no direct edits were made here.

Curated-memory proposals

None. The latest direct user context is already represented by existing operational notes, and this worker must not edit curated-memory.md.

Warm-memory update

Updated recent-topics.md with this cycle's runtime status, scheduled-worker risk, current user context, and verification limitation.

Blockers and missing tools

• Matrix-lite timer/subagent/status APIs were not exposed in this worker context.
• turns.jsonl, observability.jsonl, and timer existence were not independently verified; a non-mutating Python diagnostic was denied by the configured bash policy. These are non-fatal limitations.
• No native or async subagents were used.

Robustness risks

Prioritize a single source of truth for background-worker model selection and a control-plane smoke test that proves two consecutive scheduled runs. Add explicit worker health/cursor telemetry so a healthy model-heartbeat cannot mask a dead synthesis worker. Keep generated packet identity derived from the same source to prevent recurrence of stale model claims.
