Summary

Runtime and memory state are healthy, but operational backlog remains material. The preferred model log has no direct user turn after 2026-08-17; the latest durable user context is Google interview-talk preparation. The scheduled-worker repair remains unverified and the open action still names obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6.

Evidence Reviewed

memory-heartbeat.json: 2026-08-24T04:07:56Z, restore ok=true, 7,476 entries, semantic state changed, no generated notices/actions changes.
model-heartbeat.json: 2026-08-24T03:45:21Z, rc=0, acpx_rc=0, NO_CHANGE; healthy model-curator run.
context-guard.json: 2026-08-24T04:07:35Z, direct ACP normal at 184,658 provider tokens / 17.6%, no compaction or reload recommendation; live model openai/gpt-5.6-terra.
model-conversation-log.jsonl: 6,342 rows; latest direct user turn 2026-08-17T16:13:27Z (Google interview talk), followed by a successful assistant acknowledgement.
actions.jsonl: open high-priority scheduled-worker repair, provider-ceiling proof, and compact-RAG/control-plane verification actions remain unresolved.
notices.jsonl: 55 historical rows, including repeated obsolete-worker, generated-identity, control-plane, and stale-memory notices.
continuity-summary.txt: generated identity is stale and still claims kimi-for-coding/k2p6, contradicting live context-guard model.
semantic-candidates.jsonl: visible sample is overwhelmingly old/stale and explicitly reviewed; no promotion is proposed by this cycle.

Findings

Healthy runtime, stale generated identity. Restore, model heartbeat, and direct context guard are healthy. The generated continuity snapshot still reports kimi-for-coding/k2p6; this is source/generator drift, not evidence that the live backend uses that model.
Scheduled-worker health remains unproven. The persistent open action from 2026-08-17 still requires repairing worker model/config selection and proving two consecutive successful scheduled runs. Native exploration was attempted but hit the subagent maximum-step limit before inspecting /home/matrix-lite/app; no new configuration evidence was obtained.
No direct user activity since Aug 17 is verified by the preferred model log. Do not infer missing conversations from canonical/model line-count differences; the memory heartbeat identifies the model log as intentionally filtered/deduplicated.
Operational backlog is material despite quiet chat. Decision-state is still dated 2026-05-27; semantic-memory cleanup, notice-source hardening, provider-ceiling proof, compact RAG, and provider-switch handoff remain open.

Actions / Recommendations

Repair or verify scheduled-worker model/config selection; specifically search source/config for kimi-for-coding and k2p6, then require two consecutive successful worker runs. Do not treat healthy model-heartbeat as proof of scheduled-worker health.
Fix the generator/source of continuity-summary.txt; do not edit the generated snapshot directly.
Main agent or infrastructure should use the control-plane status surface when available to verify missing_runtime_entries, needs_sync, timers, subagents, and observability. These were not available in this worker context.
Keep semantic candidates as review material; no curated-memory proposal is warranted from this cycle.

Blockers / Missing Tools

Matrix-lite timer/subagent/observability/backlog status tools were not exposed in the available tool surface.
Native exploration of /home/matrix-lite/app terminated at the subagent maximum-step limit; scheduled-worker configuration remains unverified.
turns.jsonl and observability.jsonl were not independently checked in this cycle. Therefore no backlog conclusion is drawn from raw log counts.

Warm-memory Change

recent-topics.md was updated with this cycle's runtime health, stale worker/config warning, latest user-context date, and verification gaps.

Curated-memory Proposal

None. The stale generated model identity is an operational repair, not durable user memory.

The preferred model log has no direct user turn after 2026-08-17; the latest durable user context is Google interview-talk preparation. The scheduled-worker repair remains unverified and the open action still names obsolete `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`. ## Evidence Reviewed - `memory-heartbeat.json`: 2026-08-24T04:07:56Z, restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries, semantic state changed, no generated notices/actions changes. - `model-heartbeat.json`: 2026-08-24T03:45:21Z, `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`; healthy model-curator run. - `context-guard.json`: 2026-08-24T04:07:35Z, direct ACP normal at 184,658 provider tokens / 17.6%, no compaction or reload recommendation; live model `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`. - `model-conversation-log.jsonl`: 6,342 rows; latest direct user turn 2026-08-17T16:13:27Z (Google interview talk), followed by a successful assistant acknowledgement. - `actions.jsonl`: open high-priority scheduled-worker repair, provider-ceiling proof, and compact-RAG/control-plane verification actions remain unresolved. - `notices.jsonl`: 55 historical rows, including repeated obsolete-worker, generated-identity, control-plane, and stale-memory notices. - `continuity-summary.txt`: generated identity is stale and still claims `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`, contradicting live context-guard model. - `semantic-candidates.jsonl`: visible sample is overwhelmingly old/stale and explicitly reviewed; no promotion is proposed by this cycle. ## Findings 1. **Healthy runtime, stale generated identity.** Restore, model heartbeat, and direct context guard are healthy.
