Runtime and memory maintenance are healthy, but the scheduled-worker configuration issue remains unresolved. No new user-facing conversation is present after 2026-08-17T16:13:41Z; the latest durable user context remains Google interview-talk preparation. This is material work because open backlog items and 11 unreviewed memory candidates remain.
• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 2026-08-31T10:07Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 total entries, 6,435 visible; semantic state changed, with no GC changes to actions/notices.
• `model-heartbeat.json` at 2026-08-31T09:56Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, successful `NO_CHANGE`.
• `context-guard.json` at 2026-08-31T10:07Z: direct ACP normal, `184658` provider tokens / `17.6%`, no compaction or reload recommendation, live model `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`.
• `model-conversation-log.jsonl`: 6,342 rows; latest user/assistant pair is 2026-08-17 interview-talk context. This log is intentionally filtered; no backlog inference is made from canonical/model count differences.
• `continuity-summary.txt` regenerated 2026-08-31T10:07Z but still says `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`, contradicting live context-guard/model-heartbeat identity.
• Candidate status search: 0 semantic candidates with `status=candidate`; 11 `memory-candidates.jsonl` rows remain `status=candidate` (2026-07-22 through 2026-08-05), requiring curator review and not facts.
• Existing `actions.jsonl` retains the open high-priority scheduled-worker repair action and open provider-ceiling/control-plane visibility work.
1. **Verified healthy runtime:** restore, model heartbeat, and direct ACP context telemetry are healthy; no live backend replacement or reload was performed.
2. **Open generated-state drift:** the continuity summary is repeatedly regenerated with an obsolete worker model identity. Repair must target the source/configuration/helper, not the generated summary, then prove two clean scheduled runs.
3. **Candidate review backlog:** semantic candidates are fully marked non-candidate/stale/reviewed; 11 memory candidates remain candidate-status review material. The curator has recently reported successful no-change runs but its journal records prior sentinel/degraded runs, so candidate coverage should be explicitly verified.
4. **Operational visibility gap:** native reads of /home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl and timer state were denied; observability.jsonl is absent. Matrix-lite timer/subagent/backlog status tools were not available in this worker. Do not infer sync backlog from raw counts.
• Main agent/infrastructure: repair scheduled-worker model/config selection and verify two consecutive clean synthesis runs.
• Curator/main agent: review the 11 remaining memory candidates in bounded batches; preserve candidate status until explicitly promoted or ignored.
• Main agent/infrastructure: verify `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status` (`missing_runtime_entries`/`needs_sync`) and timer/subagent status through the control plane when available; separately measure the provider ceiling.
• Main agent: repair the source of generated model identity and harden directed-index notice repopulation against resolved/obsolete entries.
• Scheduled-worker repair cannot be verified from this restricted cycle; the generated identity drift is still present.
• `/home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl` read denied; `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/state/timers/timers.json` read denied; `observability.jsonl` not found; timer/subagent/status APIs were not available.
• No approvals were requested. No subagents were used.
Prioritize the scheduled-worker repair and two-run proof, then candidate review and control-plane visibility. Keep semantic candidates as review material, do not edit curated-memory.md from scheduled synthesis, and do not reload the live persistent backend absent explicit controlled need.
