• status: completed_with_blockers
• scope: runtime, memory, recent activity, open operational backlog
Memory restore and model-heartbeat are healthy, but scheduled operational-worker health remains unverified and at risk. The preferred model log is current through 2026-08-17 and shows no newer direct user activity; this is not evidence of a missing-log backlog.
• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 10:06Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries, semantic state changed; generated notices/actions unchanged.
• `model-heartbeat.json` at 09:42Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`; no curated-memory mutation.
• `model-conversation-log.jsonl`: 6,342 filtered rows; latest direct user turn 2026-08-17T16:13Z (Google interview talk). It also records the 2026-08-13 failed ImmoScout inbox request and ping placeholders.
• `restore-packet.json` generated successfully at 10:06Z with 50 recent messages.
• `semantic-candidates.jsonl` contains reviewed/stale early candidates; no promotion is proposed by this cycle.
• `directed/index.json` updated 04:12Z but has no newer directed report; latest directed report remains May 26 and is stale.
1. **Runtime green:** fast memory restore and slow model heartbeat succeeded; no reload or context replacement is justified by these artifacts.
2. **Scheduled worker remains at risk:** open action and notices still identify obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6 selection. Repeated historical failures show ProviderModelNotFoundError; model-heartbeat success does not validate the separate scheduled synthesis worker.
3. **Open backlog is material:** stale decision-state.json (last updated 2026-05-27), semantic-memory garbage cleanup, notice-source hardening, provider-ceiling proof, compact RAG, and scheduled-worker repair remain open. Avoid duplicating notices unless the source helper is fixed.
4. **User-facing follow-up remains gated:** ImmoScout inbox retry should authenticate first, remain draft-only, and require confirmation before sending. Do not act during maintenance.
• The scheduled-worker failure is configuration/source drift rather than a general ACP outage: the independent model-heartbeat is healthy while the worker's recorded provider/model is obsolete. Verify by inspecting the worker source/config and then observing two consecutive scheduled successes.
• The apparent quiet period is genuine lack of new direct turns after Aug 17, not a sync backlog. This conclusion is based on the filtered model log plus restore/heartbeat state; control-plane backlog status was not available.
• Repair the scheduled worker's model/config selection; do not edit generated summaries directly. Verify two consecutive worker runs.
• Main agent/infrastructure should update stale `decision-state.json` and separately audit semantic-memory pollution and directed-notice reinflation.
• When control-plane status tools become available, check timer/subagent state and `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status`; never infer backlog from canonical-vs-model line counts.
• Keep provider-ceiling/handoff verification separate from the worker-model repair. Do not reload the live persistent backend from this cycle.
• Matrix-lite timer/subagent/status tools were not exposed in this worker context.
• Read access to `/home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl` was denied by policy in this cycle despite model-log source metadata referencing it; therefore no independent `missing_runtime_entries`/`needs_sync` check was possible.
• `observability.jsonl` and approval/control-plane status were not independently verified. These are non-fatal limitations.
• No curated-memory proposal: current durable user context is already represented, and semantic candidates are review material rather than facts.
• Warm memory updated only with this cycle's concise operational topic entry in `recent-topics.md`.
• No native or async subagents used; exploration was intentionally limited to direct read-only artifact review.
• No new JSONL records appended; existing open action/notice records already cover the scheduled-worker blocker without useful duplication.
