Operational Synthesis Report

created: 2026-08-31T10:11:02.717887Z
status: complete
focus: scheduled full synthesis

Summary

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.

Evidence Reviewed

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.

Findings

Verified healthy runtime: restore, model heartbeat, and direct ACP context telemetry are healthy; no live backend replacement or reload was performed.
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.
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.
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.

Actions

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.

Blockers

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.

Backlog Plan

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.
