Material maintenance remains: the live memory/runtime path is healthy, but the scheduled-worker configuration repair is still unverified and an old open action continues to name the obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6 model. No new direct user activity is present after 2026-08-17; this is not a reason to ignore the open operational backlog.
• `model-conversation-log.jsonl`: 6,342 filtered rows; latest direct user turn is 2026-08-17T16:13:27Z (Google interview-talk preparation). This preferred log is current for visible model-facing activity.
• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 2026-08-23T16:07:57Z: restore result `ok=true`, 7,476 total entries, 6,435 visible; `semantic_changed=true`; no generated notices/actions changed.
• `model-heartbeat.json` at 2026-08-23T15:44:16Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`; no curated-memory promotion.
• `restore-packet.json` generated 2026-08-23T16:07:57Z and reports the normal packet shape.
• `actions.jsonl`: 74 historical rows; current open high-value items include scheduled-worker model/config repair, provider-ceiling/control-plane verification, compact RAG, generated-state identity drift, notice-source hardening, decision-state refresh, and curated-memory write-safety.
• `memory-candidates.jsonl`: 11 still-candidate rows matched by status search, mostly July–August soft signals; these remain curator-owned review material. No semantic-candidate promotion is proposed here.
• `semantic-candidates.jsonl`: sampled records are already stale/ignored; no open semantic candidate was established by the available search.
• `directed/index.json` updated 2026-08-23T10:12Z, but `directed/latest.md` still points to a June no-op summary; no newer directed report was available.
1. **Runtime healthy, curation no-op:** memory restore and model heartbeat both succeeded. Semantic state changed, but the curator correctly made no durable-memory change because there is no new direct user conversation.
2. **Scheduled-worker risk remains unresolved:** the open action from 2026-08-17 still requires repairing worker model/config selection away from kimi-for-coding/k2p6 and proving two consecutive scheduled successes. A healthy model heartbeat does not prove this separate worker is healthy.
3. **Warm context is stale but useful:** recent-topics.md still accurately records the recurring worker/config and verification gaps; the latest direct user context remains interview-talk preparation, with housing inbox retry authenticate-first, draft-only, and confirmation-gated, and the YouTube archive local/user-driven.
4. **Candidate backlog needs curator review, not automatic promotion:** 11 memory candidates remain in candidate status. They include user workflow preferences and old housing/archive signals; operational synthesis should not promote them directly.
• The repeated obsolete-model notice likely reflects a source/config or timer-side selection defect rather than a live main-session failure. Verify the actual timer/subagent invocation and worker model before changing generated artifacts.
• The absence of fresh direct turns is genuine in the preferred filtered log, but control-plane backlog cannot be inferred from canonical/model line-count differences.
• Repair and verify scheduled-worker model/config selection; require two consecutive successful synthesis runs and record the actual model used.
• When control-plane access is available, check `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status` (`missing_runtime_entries`, `needs_sync`), timers, subagents, and observability independently. Do not use raw log-count deltas as backlog evidence.
• Separately address generated `continuity-summary.txt` model identity drift, stale `decision-state.json`, notice re-inflation from `directed/index.json`, semantic-memory garbage, and the curated-memory atomic-write/truncation risk.
• Have the model heartbeat review the 11 remaining memory candidates in bounded batches; use the semantic-candidate helper lifecycle rather than ad-hoc edits.
None. No new direct user material since 2026-08-17 and no high-confidence uncurated durable fact was identified.
Updated recent-topics.md with this cycle’s runtime health, unresolved scheduled-worker risk, latest user context, candidate-review status, and verification limitation.
• Matrix-lite timer/subagent/status tools and independent `turns.jsonl`/`observability.jsonl`/backlog status were not available through the tools exposed to this worker. This is non-fatal but leaves scheduled-worker health and backlog independently unverified.
• No approvals were requested; no subagents were spawned.
The main risk is silent divergence between the healthy main model-heartbeat and the separately scheduled synthesis worker. Add a worker health record containing resolved model ID, timer identity, last-success timestamp, and consecutive-success count, and make report validation surface that record. Also make notice regeneration idempotent and use atomic temp-file+rename writes for curated/generated state.
