Operational Synthesis Report

Summary

Runtime is healthy, but the maintenance cycle is materially non-no-op because two durable operational drifts remain unresolved: the scheduled worker still has an obsolete model selection, and the generated continuity summary reports the wrong model. No newer user turn is present in the preferred model log after 2026-08-17; the last durable user context is Google interview-talk preparation.

## Summary

Runtime is healthy, but the maintenance cycle is materially non-no-op because two durable operational drifts remain unresolved: the scheduled worker still has an obsolete model selection, and the generated continuity summary reports the wrong model. No newer user turn is present in the preferred model log after 2026-08-17; the last durable user context is Google interview-talk preparation.

## Evidence Reviewed

- `memory-heartbeat.json` at 2026-08-26T16:09Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries, semantic state changed.
- `model-heartbeat.json` at 2026-08-26T15:49Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`; no curated-memory change.
- `context-guard.json` at 2026-08-26T16:09Z: direct ACP normal, 184,658 provider tokens (17.6%), live model `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`, no compaction/reload pressure.
- `model-conversation-log.jsonl` ends at 6,342 rows, latest user turn 2026-08-17T16:13:27Z; the preferred log is intentionally filtered, so this is not evidence of a missing-chat backlog.
- `semantic-candidates.jsonl` ends with the 2026-08-17 interview-talk item already `ignored`; no unreviewed tail candidate was identified.
- `actions.jsonl` retains the high-priority open scheduled-worker repair action (2026-08-17) and several older maintenance actions.
- `continuity-summary.txt` line 4 still says `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`, contradicting live context.

## Findings

- **Verified healthy:** main direct-ACP session, memory restore, and latest model heartbeat.
- **Open high risk:** scheduled-worker model/config repair remains unverified; obsolete `kimi-for-coding/k2p6` is still represented in operational state and has historically caused `ProviderModelNotFoundError` failures. Require source/config repair plus two consecutive successful scheduled runs.
- **Open generated-state drift:** repair the generator/source of `continuity-summary.txt`; do not edit the generated file directly.
- **Open observability gap:** independent timer/subagent status, authoritative `turns.jsonl`, `observability.jsonl`, and backlog-status surfaces were not available in this cycle. Do not infer sync backlog from canonical/model line-count differences.
- **Open durable-state hygiene:** `decision-state.json` is still dated 2026-05-27 and `semantic-memory.json` contains low-signal historical keys; these remain review items, not facts to promote automatically.

## Actions

- Main agent/infrastructure: repair scheduled-worker model selection and verify two runs.
- Main agent/curator: fix continuity-summary generator and eventually refresh stale decision-state/semantic-memory entries.
- Keep current live session unchanged; no reload is warranted at 17.6% context usage.

## Blockers

- Native status tools and independent control-plane diagnostics were unavailable/not exposed to this worker; this limits verification but does not block the report.
- No approvals were requested; no secrets were read.

## Backlog Plan

- **Next check:** inspect the worker timer/source configuration when control-plane access is available, then confirm two consecutive successful runs and that their model identity matches the live configured model.
- **User-facing continuity:** resume with the Google interview-talk thread; housing inbox follow-up remains an older pending action and should be confirmation-gated.
- **Robustness suggestion:** make generated-state producers derive model identity from one authoritative runtime/config source and make notice repopulation ignore resolved/obsolete reports.
