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

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.
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.
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.
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.
