Operational Synthesis Report

Summary

Runtime and memory maintenance are healthy, but this is materially not a no-op: the scheduled-worker model selection and generated continuity snapshot remain stale/unverified, and several long-lived operational actions remain open. No new user conversation occurred after 2026-08-17 in the preferred model log.

# Operational Synthesis Report

## Summary

Runtime and memory maintenance are healthy, but this is materially not a no-op: the scheduled-worker model selection and generated continuity snapshot remain stale/unverified, and several long-lived operational actions remain open. No new user conversation occurred after 2026-08-17 in the preferred model log.

## Evidence Reviewed

- `model-conversation-log.jsonl`: 6,342 rows; latest direct user activity 2026-08-17 (Google interview-talk preparation).
- `memory-heartbeat.json`: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries; semantic state changed; no restore/reload pressure.
- `model-heartbeat.json`: latest run `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`.
- `context-guard.json`: direct ACP normal, 184,658 provider tokens / 17.6%, no compaction or reload recommendation; observed ceiling remains unproven.
- `semantic-candidates.jsonl`: recent review material is promoted/ignored/stale; the remaining broad candidate pool is not authoritative. `memory-candidates.jsonl` retains older candidate-status rows for curator review.
- `decision-state.json` remains dated 2026-05-27.
- `continuity-summary.txt` was regenerated 2026-08-28 but still identifies obsolete `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`, contradicting live GPT-5.6 Terra state.
- Directed synthesis has no recent report (index updated, latest actual directed report is May 26); no new directed intent found.

## Findings

- **Healthy runtime:** memory restore, model heartbeat, and context guard all report successful/normal operation.
- **Configuration drift:** scheduled-worker repair remains unverified; the open action still names obsolete `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`. Generated continuity output repeats the stale identity, so the source/generator must be repaired rather than editing generated output.
- **Backlog:** provider-ceiling proof, control-plane visibility, notice-source hardening, RAG/anchor retrieval, stale decision-state refresh, provider handoff design, YouTube archive continuation, and the missed ImmoScout inbox follow-up remain open. These are carried forward, not newly rediscovered.
- **Curation:** no new durable user signal or curated-memory proposal is warranted; the latest user context (focus on the Google interview talk) is already represented as transient/current context.

## Actions

- Repair scheduled-worker model/config selection, then verify two consecutive scheduled runs and regenerate continuity state from the corrected source.
- When control-plane access is available, verify `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status`, timers, subagents, approvals, and observability independently; do not infer backlog from canonical/model log count differences.
- Keep candidate lifecycle under model-heartbeat/curator ownership; do not promote the remaining candidate rows from this worker.

## Blockers

- Native reads of `/home/matrix-lite/state/{turns,observability,approvals}.json*` and workspace timer state were denied by the sandbox policy in this cycle.
- Matrix-lite timer/subagent status APIs were not exposed in the available tool namespace; no live timer/subagent verification was possible.
- No approval was requested (scheduled policy forbids it).

## Backlog Plan

- Main agent/infrastructure: fix the worker launcher/config and generated-state source; then prove two clean runs.
- Main agent: retry the ImmoScout inbox task only on a user-facing turn, authenticated first, draft-only until confirmation.
- Infrastructure: prioritize durable status surfaces and atomic/validated generated-file writes; prior history includes notice re-inflation and curated-memory truncation incidents.

## Subagents and curation

- No native or async subagents were used; bounded read-only exploration was sufficient.
- `curated-memory.md` was not edited. No curation proposal was added.
- Warm memory updated in `recent-topics.md` with this cycle's health, drift, backlog, and verification limits.
