• status: complete
• scope: scheduled higher-level operational synthesis
The memory/runtime pipeline is currently healthy, but the scheduled-worker configuration remains an unresolved operational risk. There is no new user activity after 2026-08-17; this is verified from the preferred model conversation log, not inferred from canonical/model line-count differences.
• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 04:06Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries, 6,342 model-conversation rows, `semantic_changed=true`; no reported runtime backlog fields were available in this artifact.
• `model-heartbeat.json` at 03:54Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, successful `NO_CHANGE`; no curated-memory or reflection change.
• `model-conversation-log.jsonl`: latest user activity is 2026-08-17T16:13Z (Google interview-talk preparation); latest assistant reply is complete.
• `context-guard.json` at 04:06Z: direct ACP normal, 184,658 provider tokens / 17.6%, configured `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`; no compaction and no reload recommendation.
• `restore-packet.json` generated at 04:06Z and reports current source packet generation; no stale-source warning is present.
• `memory-candidates.jsonl` still has 11 `status=candidate` rows (mostly late-July/August housing/workflow signals). They remain review material, not facts. `semantic-candidates.jsonl` has no exact `status=candidate` rows in the available search.
1. **Healthy main runtime, stale generated identity:** continuity-summary.txt was regenerated at 04:06Z but still says kimi-for-coding/k2p6 (line 4), contradicting context-guard.json, pinned state, and the live configured model openai/gpt-5.6-terra. Fix the generator/source, never the generated file directly.
2. **Scheduled worker repair is not verified:** open action and notices still require removing obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6 selection and proving two consecutive clean scheduled runs. The current model heartbeat success does not independently prove the scheduled synthesis worker configuration is repaired.
3. **Backlog/visibility remains unverified:** native reads or status surfaces for turns.jsonl, observability.jsonl, timers, subagents, approvals, and persistent_chat_log_backlog_status were not available in this cycle. Do not infer sync backlog from raw log counts.
4. **Operational metadata is stale:** decision-state.json remains dated 2026-05-27; pinned-state.md also contains older recent-topic/status excerpts despite fresh generated timestamps. These are continuity-quality risks, not evidence of runtime failure.
5. **Existing notices are actionable but aged:** the six notices include decision-state refresh, semantic-memory cleanup, generated identity repair, notice-source hardening, curator Read/Edit denial, provider handoff, and scheduled-worker repair. No duplicate cleanup was performed because this worker did not verify a new re-inflation event.
• The persistent `k2p6` string is likely sourced from an old worker/config or generator fallback rather than live direct-ACP state; source inspection plus a control-plane smoke test is required.
• Candidate accumulation reflects curator lifecycle coverage lag, not necessarily new user activity; review late-July/August rows in bounded batches before promotion.
• Repair scheduled-worker model/config selection; then verify two consecutive scheduled synthesis runs and update/retire the open action only after evidence.
• Repair the source/generator that emits `continuity-summary.txt`; regenerate and verify model identity.
• When control-plane access is available, check backlog status, timers, subagents, observability, and approvals independently.
• Review the 11 memory candidates, especially the late-July housing/workflow rows; propose promotions in curator-owned artifacts rather than editing curated memory here.
• Refresh `decision-state.json` and harden directed notice repopulation to skip resolved/obsolete reports.
None written or proposed from this quiet cycle. The Aug-17 interview-talk context is current-thread context, not a new durable fact requiring promotion.
• Timer/subagent/status MCP tools and authoritative backlog/observability checks were unavailable or not exposed to this worker.
• No approvals were requested. No subagents were spawned.
• No live backend replacement, reload, generated-artifact edit, perpetual-log edit, or curated-memory edit was performed.
Add a preflight assertion to scheduled workers that fails loudly (and records the selected provider/model) when it differs from the configured live model. Also make generated summaries derive identity from one canonical runtime source and make notice repopulation idempotent against resolved/obsolete source reports.
