• scope: scheduled higher-level operational synthesis
Memory/runtime generation is healthy, but the scheduled-worker configuration remains visibly broken or unverified: generated continuity state still names unavailable kimi-for-coding/k2p6, while the live direct-ACP context guard and heartbeat indicate openai/gpt-5.6-terra. The main user-facing log has no activity after 2026-08-17; this is an activity gap, not evidence of missing conversations.
• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 16:07Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries; 6,342 model-conversation rows; semantic state changed; no archive.
• `model-heartbeat.json` at 15:57Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, successful `NO_CHANGE`; 7,476 log rows.
• `context-guard.json` at 16:06Z: direct ACP normal, 184,658 provider tokens (17.6%), no compaction, live/configured model `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`.
• `continuity-summary.txt` regenerated at 16:07Z but line 4 still says `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`.
• Latest user-facing model-log row is 2026-08-17 (Google interview-talk preparation). Do not infer sync backlog from its age or canonical/model line-count differences.
• `decision-state.json` is still dated 2026-05-27. `actions.jsonl` retains open items for provider-ceiling proof, decision-state refresh, semantic-memory cleanup, RAG, provider-switch handoff, notice-source hardening, local YouTube archive, housing follow-up, and scheduled-worker repair.
• `semantic-candidates.jsonl` is review material; visible historical rows are marked stale, not authoritative memory. No promotion is proposed.
1. **High confidence:** memory restore and model heartbeat are currently healthy; no reload or backend replacement is warranted.
2. **High confidence:** stale model identity is a generator/source/configuration defect, not a live-session identity. Repair the source and verify two clean scheduled runs; do not edit generated summary directly.
3. **Open hypothesis:** the repeated scheduled-worker failure history (ProviderModelNotFoundError for k2p6) may be fixed only in the live worker path, while a stale source still regenerates the obsolete summary. Control-plane verification is required.
• Repair scheduled-worker model/config selection and run two consecutive successful scheduled cycles.
• Refresh `decision-state.json` and audit `semantic-memory.json` through their owning workflows.
• When status access is available, query `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status` and timer/subagent status; specifically record `missing_runtime_entries` and `needs_sync`.
• Harden directed-index notice repopulation against resolved/obsolete reports; current notices remain mostly historical open duplicates and should not be treated as new incidents.
• Resume housing inbox only on a future user-facing turn, with authenticated-session verification and confirmation before sending; local YouTube archive remains user/local-network work.
• Matrix-lite status namespaces for timers/subagents were not exposed in this worker; no status call was attempted through an unavailable native namespace.
• `turns.jsonl`, `observability.jsonl`, approvals, and authoritative backlog status were not independently available in this cycle. `observability.jsonl` has been historically absent.
• No native or async subagents used.
• Updated `recent-topics.md` with this cycle's operational state.
• No curated-memory edit and no curation proposal: current durable user context is already represented, and semantic candidates are stale/review-only.
• No JSONL append: existing open notices/actions already cover the actionable blockers without adding duplicates.
The main robustness risk is silent drift: a successful memory heartbeat can coexist with a permanently invalid scheduled-worker model and stale generated identity. Add a source-of-truth model assertion to the worker and a post-run validation that compares generated identity with live configuration before declaring success.
