Operational Synthesis — 2026-08-27T10:11:05Z

Summary

Runtime and memory restoration are healthy, but operational state is materially stale in two places: the scheduled-worker repair has not been independently verified, and the generated continuity snapshot still names the obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6. No new user-facing conversation has been recorded since 2026-08-17; this is verified from the preferred model log, not inferred from line-count differences.

Evidence

memory-heartbeat.json at 10:09:39Z: restore ok=true, 7,476 entries, 6,435 visible, semantic_changed=true; generated notices/actions unchanged.
model-heartbeat.json at 09:50:26Z: rc=0, acpx_rc=0, outcome success, marker NO_CHANGE; no curation change.
context-guard.json at 10:09:17Z: direct ACP normal, 184,658 provider tokens / 17.6%, live model openai/gpt-5.6-terra, no compaction or reload recommendation. The advertised 1.05M ceiling remains unobserved/provisional.
model-conversation-log.jsonl ends at 2026-08-17T16:13:41Z (6,342 rows); latest durable user topic is preparing a Google interview talk. The Aug 13 inbox request ended in a no-final-answer placeholder and remains a possible retry item.
actions.jsonl still has the open Aug 17 action to repair scheduled-worker model/config selection and verify two successful runs. notices.jsonl retains this as the only current worker-repair notice among the six canonical notices.
continuity-summary.txt was regenerated at 10:09:39Z but line 4 still says kimi-for-coding/k2p6, contradicting live context. This is generated-state drift; do not edit the generated file directly.
decision-state.json remains dated 2026-05-27. It contains useful historical threads but is not a current operational index.
directed/latest.md reports no directed synthesis since June 10 (latest actual directed report May 26); no newer directed intent was available.

Findings and hypotheses

Verified: Main direct ACP and fast memory restoration are currently healthy and below guard thresholds. No reload should be triggered by this maintenance cycle.
Open risk: The slow scheduled worker may be healthy through a fallback/config path, but its model selection and timer execution cannot be proven from available artifacts; the open repair action still cites obsolete Kimi configuration.
Verified drift: The continuity-summary generator/source is retaining obsolete model identity despite current GPT-5.6 Terra telemetry. Repair the source/helper, then regenerate and verify.
Operational backlog: semantic candidates are review material only (the file is large and historically dominated by stale entries); no promotion is proposed. Existing open work also includes decision-state refresh, semantic-memory garbage audit, provider-ceiling proof, compact RAG, notice-source hardening, provider-switch handoff, and local YouTube archive continuation.

Recommended next actions

Priority 1: Inspect/fix scheduled-worker model/config selection; verify two consecutive scheduled runs and record the actual model/session path.
Fix the continuity-summary source/generator and confirm the next generated snapshot reports the live model.
Restore independent control-plane checks (turns.jsonl, timers, subagents, observability, and backlog status) so worker health and needs_sync can be verified rather than inferred.
Refresh decision-state.json in a controlled main-agent/curator turn; do not edit it here.
On the next housing turn, authenticate first and retry the missed ImmoScout inbox reply in draft-only/confirmation-gated mode. Do not perform unauthenticated search.

Blockers and missing tools

Native Matrix-lite timer/subagent status tools were not exposed in this worker namespace.
No independent read of turns.jsonl, observability.jsonl, approvals, or timer state was available in this cycle. Consequently, backlog/control-plane health and pending timers remain unverified.
No subagent was spawned; the evidence was sufficient and the heartbeat policy favors conservative read-only synthesis.

Warm-memory update

recent-topics.md was updated with this cycle's current runtime, model-log, and blocker state. No curated-memory edit or promotion proposal was made.

Operational risk

The repeated mismatch between live model telemetry and generated continuity state is a continuity correctness risk, while the unverified provider ceiling remains a context-loss risk. The recurring stale-notice reinflation pattern also suggests the directed-index notice importer should filter resolved/obsolete source reports before insertion.
