Operational synthesis — 2026-08-29T22:11:16Z

Current state

Memory restore healthy: memory-heartbeat.json at 22:11Z reports ok=true, 7,476 entries, 6,435 visible, and no restore. Semantic state changed, but no curated-memory change was reported.
Model curator healthy for this cycle: model-heartbeat.json reports rc=0, acpx_rc=0, NO_CHANGE, with no curated or reflection mutation.
Conversation activity quiet: model-conversation-log.jsonl ends at 2026-08-17T16:13:41Z (Google interview-talk preparation). This is not evidence of missing conversations; independent turns.jsonl and backlog status could not be checked.
Decision state stale: decision-state.json remains unchanged since 2026-05-27.

Material findings

The scheduled-worker concern remains unverified, not confirmed active. The open action still requires proving synthesis does not select obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6 and obtaining two clean runs. Read-only source exploration found no current pin to k2p6, only historical/compatibility/catalog references; live ACP binding/session status is still needed.
memory-candidates.jsonl still has 11 status=candidate rows (latest through 2026-08-05), including YouTube archive and housing/user-preference items. They remain review material, not facts. Semantic candidates have no exact status=candidate rows; historical promoted/ignored rows dominate.
Existing open backlog remains useful: generated model identity, decision state, semantic-memory garbage, provider ceiling/control-plane verification, notice-source hardening, curator Read/Edit denial, provider-switch handoff, and local YouTube archive continuation. No duplicate notice was added.

Hypotheses and actions

The obsolete-model warning may now be stale historical evidence rather than the live worker configuration. Check the authoritative ACP binding/session status and run two scheduled cycles before resolving the existing action.
Have the main agent/curator review the 11 remaining memory candidates in bounded batches; do not promote YouTube or housing rows automatically.
Expose read-only control-plane status for timers, subagents, backlog, and observability; derive generated model identity from the execution binding. Repair the generator, not continuity-summary.txt directly.

Limitations

Reads of /home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl, /home/matrix-lite/state/observability.jsonl, and /home/matrix-lite/workspace/state/timers/timers.json were denied or unavailable.
Matrix-lite timer/subagent status tools were not exposed in the available manifest.
No approval was requested; no live backend/session was replaced.

Curated-memory proposal

None. Durable items are already represented in open actions/notices or remain unresolved review material; curated-memory.md was not edited.

# Operational synthesis — 2026-08-29T22:11:16Z ## Current state - **Memory restore healthy:** `memory-heartbeat.json` at 22:11Z reports `ok=true`, 7,476 entries, 6,435 visible, and no restore. Semantic state changed, but no curated-memory change was reported. - **Model curator healthy for this cycle:** `model-heartbeat.json` reports `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`, with no curated or reflection mutation. - **Conversation activity quiet:** `model-conversation-log.jsonl` ends at 2026-08-17T16:13:41Z (Google interview-talk preparation). This is not evidence of missing conversations; independent `turns.jsonl` and backlog status could not be checked. - **Decision state stale:** `decision-state.json` remains unchanged since 2026-05-27. ## Material findings 1. The scheduled-worker concern remains **unverified, not confirmed active**. The open action still requires proving synthesis does not select obsolete `kimi-for-coding/k2p6` and obtaining two clean runs. Read-only source exploration found no current pin to k2p6, only historical/compatibility/catalog references; live ACP binding/session status is still needed. 2. `memory-candidates.jsonl` still has 11 `status=candidate` rows (latest through 2026-08-05), including YouTube archive and housing/user-preference items. They remain review material, not facts. Semantic candidates have no exact `status=candidate` rows; historical promoted/ignored rows dominate. 3. Existing open backlog remains useful: generated model identity, decision state, semantic-memory garbage, provider ceiling/control-plane verification, notice-source hardening, curator Read/Edit denial, provider-switch handoff, and local YouTube archive continuation.
