Summary

Runtime and memory restoration are healthy, but scheduled-worker configuration repair remains unverified and generated model identity is stale. No newer direct user conversation exists after the 2026-08-17 Google interview-talk preparation; several longstanding operational actions remain unresolved.

Evidence reviewed

• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 2026-08-26T10:09:47Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries, 6,435 visible, semantic state changed.

• `model-heartbeat.json` at 2026-08-26T09:49:15Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`; no curated-memory change.

• `context-guard.json` at 2026-08-26T10:09:25Z: direct ACP normal, 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, about Google interview-talk preparation. This preferred log is the activity source; no inference was made from canonical/model line-count differences.

• `semantic-candidates.jsonl`: 588 rows; no `open` or `candidate` status matches were found, so no promotion proposal is needed. Candidates remain review material, not facts.

• `actions.jsonl`: open actions remain for worker model repair, provider-ceiling/control-plane verification, generated-state cleanup, notice-source hardening, RAG/anchor retrieval, and local YouTube archive continuation.

• `continuity-summary.txt` line 4 still says `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`, contradicting live GPT-5.6 Terra. This is generated-state drift; do not edit the generated file directly.

Findings

1. **Healthy live runtime, quiet user activity.** Memory restore and model heartbeat succeeded; direct context is comfortably normal. No new durable user-memory proposal is warranted.

2. **Scheduled-worker repair is still unproven.** The 2026-08-17 action still requires correcting obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6 selection and proving two consecutive worker successes. Current file evidence cannot establish timer/subagent health or worker configuration.

3. **Generated identity drift persists.** continuity-summary.txt is stale while live state identifies openai/gpt-5.6-terra; repair the generator/source rather than the output artifact.

4. **Candidate lifecycle appears caught up.** No open/candidate semantic-candidate records were found by content search; do not promote stale/reviewed entries automatically.

Actions for main agent / infrastructure

• Inspect and repair the scheduled synthesis worker's model/config source; verify two consecutive scheduled successes.

• When control-plane access returns, run `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status` and timer/subagent status checks. Do not infer backlog from raw log counts.

• Fix the continuity-summary generator/source and separately address stale `decision-state.json` and notice-source duplication.

• Keep provider-ceiling proof and agent-driven handoff/reset verification as separate runtime work items.

• Continue local/user-driven `moodymoe-u8r` archive only when the user resumes it; keep cookies private.

Curated-memory proposals

None. The last direct user signal is already represented by existing context, and semantic candidates are not authoritative.

Warm-memory

recent-topics.md should carry this cycle's runtime state, quiet activity, stale worker/model issues, and verification gap. curated-memory.md was not edited.

Blockers / missing tools

• Bash diagnostics were denied by session policy, so independent JSONL status counting and backlog checks could not run.

• Matrix-lite timer/subagent status tools and authoritative `turns.jsonl`/`observability.jsonl` checks were not available through the exposed tool surface.

• These limitations are non-fatal; preferred model log and heartbeat artifacts were readable.

Operational risk

The primary robustness risk is divergence between live model selection and generated summaries, compounded by unverified scheduled-worker configuration. Add a worker self-report containing effective model/config and a durable processing cursor, then validate it in the synthesis wrapper before declaring success.

Append records

No new JSONL finding/hypothesis/action/notice was appended; existing open records already cover the same issues and were not duplicated.
