Operational Synthesis — 2026-08-23T04:11:02Z

Summary

Memory/runtime maintenance is healthy, but the scheduled-worker configuration remains unverified and historically points at the obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6. No user-facing turn has appeared after 2026-08-17; this is material because open operational actions and notices remain unresolved.

Evidence

• memory-heartbeat.json at 04:07Z: restore ok=true, missing_runtime_entries not reported as nonzero, 7,476 input entries, semantic state changed.
• model-heartbeat.json at 03:44Z: rc=0, acpx_rc=0, NO_CHANGE; this confirms curator wrapper health, not scheduled-synthesis worker health.
• model-conversation-log.jsonl ends at 2026-08-17T16:13Z with the user's Google interview-talk preparation. The log is the preferred filtered activity source; no backlog is inferred from canonical/model line-count differences.
• actions.jsonl still has the open high-priority repair to stop scheduled synthesis from invoking kimi-for-coding/k2p6 and prove two consecutive successes.
• notices.jsonl retains stale/open maintenance items: scheduled-worker repair, stale decision state, semantic-memory cleanup, notice-source hardening, provider-switch handoff, provider-ceiling proof, and the deferred ImmoScout inbox retry.
• decision-state.json has not been refreshed since 2026-05-27. semantic-memory.json regenerated successfully but still contains low-signal fragment-style memories; candidates were not reclassified in this restricted cycle.

Hypotheses

1. The scheduled worker is still misconfigured or at least not independently proven healthy; repeated historical failures explicitly identify ProviderModelNotFoundError for kimi-for-coding/k2p6.
2. The main persistent backend and memory pipeline can remain healthy while the scheduled synthesis lane is broken, so model-heartbeat success must not close the worker repair action.

Recommended actions

1. Inspect/fix the scheduled synthesis source/config to use an available model, then verify two consecutive scheduled runs through the control plane.
2. Refresh decision-state.json and repair generated model identity at its source; do not edit generated summaries directly.
3. Harden directed notice repopulation so resolved/obsolete reports cannot re-inflate notices.jsonl.
4. On the next housing/inbox turn, authenticate ImmoScout first, then draft only; never send without confirmation.

Warm-memory update

recent-topics.md was updated with this cycle's runtime status, unchanged latest user context, and the continuing scheduled-worker blocker. No curated-memory proposal was added: there is no new durable user fact, and semantic candidates remain curator-owned review material.

Blockers / unavailable checks

• Matrix-lite timer, subagent, backlog-status, and observability status tools were not exposed in this worker context; no independent timer/control-plane verification was possible.
• Native access to authoritative turns.jsonl/observability was not available here. The preferred model log was used instead. Do not infer missing conversations or sync backlog from raw line counts.
• No subagents were spawned; no approvals or external tools were requested.

Operational risk

The main risk is silent divergence: healthy memory-heartbeat output can mask a permanently failing scheduled synthesis worker. A single source of truth for worker model selection plus a small success/failure health metric exposed via the status surface would make this detectable without reading historical notices.
