Operational Synthesis Report

• completed: 2026-08-26T04:11:07Z

• status: complete

• scope: scheduled higher-level operational synthesis

Summary

The memory/runtime path is healthy, but the scheduled-worker configuration remains unverified and generated model identity is stale. No new direct user activity is present after the 2026-08-17 Google interview-talk preparation; this is not evidence of missing conversations.

Verified state

• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 04:08Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries, 6,435 visible, semantic state changed, no archive.

• `model-heartbeat.json` at 03:48Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`; the preceding 03:47Z-style run was degraded only because its sentinel was missing, and later runs recovered.

• Direct ACP context is normal: 184,658 provider tokens / 17.6%, no compaction, no reload recommendation; live configured model is `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`.

• `model-conversation-log.jsonl` ends at 6,342 rows with the latest direct user turn at 2026-08-17T16:13Z. The log is intentionally filtered; do not compare its count with canonical log counts to infer backlog.

• Semantic candidates have no open/pending records found; 11 `memory-candidates.jsonl` records remain `candidate` review material. They are not facts and need curator lifecycle review if relevant.

Findings and hypotheses

1. **High confidence:** the scheduled-worker repair is still unproven. The open action and notices continue to name obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6, despite the healthy live GPT-5.6 Terra session. Require source/config inspection and two consecutive successful scheduled-worker runs before closing this risk.

2. **High confidence:** continuity-summary.txt is generated with stale Current model: kimi-for-coding/k2p6 (line 4), contradicting context guard and current configuration. Repair the generator/source, not this generated file.

3. **Operational concern:** decision-state.json remains dated 2026-05-27 and several notices/actions are historical or duplicated. Prioritize a controlled refresh and notice-source hardening, but do not rewrite these artifacts from this restricted cycle.

User/workflow continuity

• Durable recent context remains Google interview-talk preparation (2026-08-17).

• Housing inbox follow-up remains confirmation-gated and authenticate-first; no autonomous external action should be taken.

• The moodymoe-u8r YouTube archive is a local/user-driven continuation; cookies remain sensitive and must not be read or exposed.

Blockers and missing checks

• Matrix-lite timer/subagent status tools were not exposed in this worker context.

• Independent `turns.jsonl`, `observability.jsonl`, and `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status` checks were unavailable here. `observability.jsonl` was not found in the expected state path.

• Therefore scheduled-worker health, timer state, and backlog status remain unverified. Do not infer any of them from raw line-count differences.

Recommended next actions

1. Infrastructure/main agent: inspect and repair scheduled-worker model/config selection; verify two consecutive runs.

2. Infrastructure/main agent: fix the continuity-summary generator's model source and refresh generated packets through the normal helper.

3. Curator/main agent: review the 11 remaining memory candidates and refresh stale decision-state/notices when a write-capable turn is available.

4. Platform: expose read-only timer/subagent/backlog/observability status surfaces to maintenance workers and add atomic/validated writes for durable memory (the historical zero-byte curation incident remains a robustness risk).

Curated-memory proposals

None. No new durable user signal warrants proposing a change to curated-memory.md in this cycle.

Subagents and updates

No native or async subagents were used. Updated this report and warm-memory topic notes only; did not edit generated packets, canonical logs, or curated memory.
