Runtime and memory restoration are healthy, but the maintenance backlog is materially unresolved. The preferred model log has no user-facing turns after 2026-08-17; this is verified as a log tail, not evidence of missing conversation. The scheduled-worker model repair remains unverified and generated continuity state still has stale model identity.
• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 16:06Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries, 6,435 visible, semantic state changed; model heartbeat at 15:55Z completed successfully with `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`.
• `context-guard.json` at 16:11Z: direct ACP normal, 184,658 provider tokens / 17.6%, no compaction, live configured model `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`; observed provider ceiling remains `null`.
• `model-conversation-log.jsonl` ends at 2026-08-17T16:13Z with the user's Google interview-talk preparation update. Do not infer a sync backlog from this tail or from canonical/model line-count differences.
• `continuity-summary.txt` was regenerated at 16:11Z but still says `kimi-for-coding/k2p6` on line 4, contradicting `context-guard.json` and `pinned-state.md`.
• `actions.jsonl` retains the high-priority scheduled-worker repair, provider/control-plane verification, RAG, generated-state/notice hardening, and lower-priority archive/decision-state items. The 2026-07-31 housing lease/income item also remains open.
• Semantic candidates are review material rather than facts; recent synthesis indicates no new promotion. Existing memory-candidate backlog is likewise not a basis for automatic curation.
1. **Healthy main runtime, stale operational metadata.** Direct ACP, restore, and model heartbeat are currently healthy; no reload or backend replacement is warranted. The generated model line is still stale and should be fixed at its source/generator, never by editing the generated snapshot.
2. **Scheduled-worker repair is still unresolved.** The open action and notices still cite obsolete kimi-for-coding/k2p6; no independent two-run verification was available in this cycle.
3. **Observability remains incomplete.** Native read of /home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl was denied because the file is absent in this sandbox view; observability.jsonl was denied, and timer/subagent/control-plane status tools were not available in the exposed tool surface. Therefore backlog, timers, and background-job liveness are unverified.
4. **Warm context is stale relative to current runtime.** recent-topics.md and pinned/generated artifacts carry older summaries; the current user context remains the Aug-17 interview-talk preparation, with no new durable curation proposal.
• Main agent/infrastructure: repair scheduled synthesis model/config selection and verify two consecutive clean runs.
• Main agent/infrastructure: fix the continuity-summary generator's model source; do not patch `continuity-summary.txt` directly.
• Main agent: expose or run a control-plane smoke check for timer list, subagents, backlog (`missing_runtime_entries`/`needs_sync`), and observability; keep provider-ceiling measurement separate.
• Curator/main agent: review the stale decision-state, semantic-memory noise, notice-source re-inflation, and existing housing/archive items when user activity resumes. No curated-memory edit is proposed by this cycle.
• Status APIs and independent turns/observability checks unavailable; scheduled-worker success cannot be independently confirmed.
• Persistent stale generated identity can mislead future model selection/debugging.
• Repeated notice duplication and lack of per-worker cursors remain robustness risks.
• No direct edit to `curated-memory.md`; no new curation proposal.
• `recent-topics.md` updated with this cycle's runtime, stale-worker, log-tail, and verification-gap state.
• No new JSONL notice appended; existing notices already contain the actionable blockers.
