Summary

Runtime and memory artifacts are healthy, but operational backlog remains materially unresolved. The preferred model log has no user-facing activity after 2026-08-17; authoritative turns/control-plane backlog checks remain unavailable.

Evidence

• `memory-heartbeat.json` 04:09:55Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries, semantic state changed; model log 6,342 rows / 3,664 runtime rows.

• `model-heartbeat.json` 03:50:15Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`; no curated-memory change.

• `context-guard.json` 04:09:33Z: direct ACP normal, 184,658 tokens (17.6%), GPT-5.6 Terra, no compaction.

• Preferred model log ends 2026-08-17 with Google interview-talk preparation. Latest housing activity is August 11 authenticated outreach and an August 13 failed inbox retry.

• `continuity-summary.txt` still says `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`, contradicting `pinned-state.md` and `context-guard.json` (`openai/gpt-5.6-terra`).

• Open actions remain for scheduled-worker repair, provider-ceiling/control-plane verification, stale decision state, semantic-memory cleanup, YouTube archive continuation, and housing follow-up.

Findings

• **Healthy core runtime:** no reload is indicated.

• **Persistent configuration drift:** scheduled synthesis worker repair is unproven and still names obsolete `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`; generated continuity state has the same stale identity.

• **Backlog is unresolved, not absent:** decision-state is unchanged since May 27 and existing notices/actions remain actionable.

• No new durable user signal was found; no curation proposal is warranted. Housing actions remain authenticated and confirmation-gated.

Actions

• Repair scheduled-worker source/config and verify two consecutive successful scheduled runs.

• Fix the generator/source of `continuity-summary.txt`; do not hand-edit generated packets.

• When available, verify `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status` (`missing_runtime_entries`, `needs_sync`) and timer/subagent status. Never infer backlog from canonical/model line-count differences.

• Main agent/curator should refresh stale `decision-state.json` and review semantic candidates/memory garbage through the normal lifecycle.

Blockers and risks

• Native read of `/home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl` was denied by policy; timer/subagent status APIs and observability/backlog status were not exposed. These are verification gaps, not evidence of missing conversations.

• `curator-journal.md` has no recent entry (last visible 2026-07-12); curator health is only indirectly evidenced by the latest heartbeat.

• Repeated stale model identity and unavailable control-plane checks create risk of silent maintenance failure. Existing open notices/actions were not duplicated.

Memory and scope

No curated-memory or semantic-candidate changes were made. This report is the final replacement of the pre-created checkpoint.
