Operational Synthesis Report
- created: 2026-09-01T22:11:07.442576Z
- completed: 2026-09-02 (scheduled maintenance cycle)
- status: complete
- focus: scheduled full synthesis
Summary
Runtime and memory heartbeats are healthy, but maintenance is not a no-op: the generated continuity summary still has an obsolete model identity, structured decision state is stale, and several verification/cleanup actions remain open. No newer user conversation is present in the preferred model log; this is not evidence of missing messages.
Evidence
memory-heartbeat.json: 2026-09-01T22:07Z, restore ok=true, 7,476 entries; semantic state changed; model log has 6,342 rows / 3,664 runtime-turn rows.model-heartbeat.json: 2026-09-01T21:58Z, rc=0, acpx_rc=0, successful NO_CHANGE run.context-guard.json: direct ACP normal, 184,658 provider tokens (17.6%), no compaction detected; live/configured model openai/gpt-5.6-terra; latest logged user/assistant turn is 2026-08-17.continuity-summary.txt line 4 still says kimi-for-coding/k2p6, contradicting context guard and pinned state. This remains a source/generator defect; generated output was not edited.memory-candidates.jsonl still contains 11 exact status=candidate rows (mostly July–August housing/runtime/YouTube signals); semantic-candidates.jsonl has no exact candidate-status matches in the inspected portion and reviewed old rows are marked stale. Candidates remain review material, not facts.decision-state.json last updated 2026-05-27 and still contains multiple old active/open threads. notices.jsonl retains the canonical stale-model, decision-state, semantic-memory, control-plane, provider-handoff, housing-inbox, and YouTube notices; no duplicate pruning was performed this cycle.
Durable findings
- The scheduled worker itself is currently healthy, but its historical/configuration path still needs repair: eliminate obsolete
kimi-for-coding/k2p6 selection and prove two clean runs. The successful heartbeat does not prove the source is corrected because the generated summary remains stale.
- Direct ACP context is presently well below guard thresholds, but
observed_provider_ceiling is null. The prior ~300k compaction concern remains an unverified runtime risk; do not infer safety from the advertised 1.05M limit.
- The preferred model log ends with the user’s 2026-08-17 Google interview-talk preparation and a temporary OpenAI-auth recovery. Treat housing inbox follow-up and local YouTube archive as pending user-facing work, not active background jobs.
Actions / proposals
- Main agent/infrastructure: inspect and repair the scheduled-worker model/config source, then verify two consecutive clean scheduled runs; do not patch
continuity-summary.txt directly.
- Main agent/infrastructure: expose or permit
persistent_chat_log_backlog_status, timer/subagent status, turns, and observability checks; verify missing_runtime_entries/needs_sync before making any sync claim.
- Curator/main agent: review the 11 legacy memory candidates and the stale semantic-memory entries; promote only durable facts/preferences and demote noise using the candidate helper lifecycle.
- Main agent: refresh
decision-state.json and separately address the unresolved authenticated ImmoScout inbox reply and local YouTube archive continuation when the user returns.
Curated-memory proposals
None. The latest user-facing signals are already represented in existing memory/candidate material; this cycle should not edit curated-memory.md.
Warm-memory update
recent-topics.md was updated with this cycle’s runtime status and unresolved maintenance backlog.
Missing tools / blockers
- Native Matrix-lite timer, subagent, backlog, and observability status tools were not available in this worker; the extended-tool manifest exposed web/browser/vision/approval services but not those status APIs.
- Direct reads of
/home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl and observability.jsonl were not performed/available through the supplied worker surface. Therefore no claim is made about backlog or current live activity beyond model-log and heartbeat metadata.
- No approvals were requested; no backend/session reload or replacement was performed.
Operational risk
The main robustness risks are stale generated model identity, lack of independent provider-ceiling telemetry, and unavailable control-plane visibility. The existing notice/index pipeline may re-inflate obsolete notices; fixing its source filtering remains preferable to repeated manual cleanup.

# Operational Synthesis Report
- created: 2026-09-01T22:11:07.442576Z

## Summary
Runtime and memory heartbeats are healthy, but maintenance is not a no-op: the generated continuity summary still has an obsolete model identity, structured decision state is stale, and several verification/cleanup actions remain open. No newer user conversation is present in the preferred model log; this is not evidence of missing messages.
## Evidence
- `memory-heartbeat.json`: 2026-09-01T22:07Z, restore `ok=true`, 7,476 entries; semantic state changed; model log has 6,342 rows / 3,664 runtime-turn rows.
- `model-heartbeat.json`: 2026-09-01T21:58Z, `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, successful `NO_CHANGE` run.
- `context-guard.json`: direct ACP normal, 184,658 provider tokens (17.6%), no compaction detected; live/configured model `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`; latest logged user/assistant turn is 2026-08-17.
- `continuity-summary.txt` line 4 still says `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`, contradicting context guard and pinned state. This remains a source/generator defect; generated output was not edited.
- `memory-candidates.jsonl` still contains 11 exact `status=candidate` rows (mostly July–August housing/runtime/YouTube signals); `semantic-candidates.jsonl` has no exact candidate-status matches in the inspected portion and reviewed old rows are marked stale. Candidates remain review material, not facts.
- `decision-state.json` last updated 2026-05-27 and still contains multiple old active/open threads. `notices.jsonl` retains the canonical stale-model, decision-state, semantic-memory, control-plane, provider-handoff, housing-inbox, and YouTube notices; no duplicate pruning was performed this cycle.
## Durable findings
1. The scheduled worker itself is currently healthy, but its historical/configuration path still needs repair: eliminate obsolete `kimi-for-coding/k2p6` selection and prove two clean runs. The successful heartbeat does not prove the source is corrected because the generated summary remains stale.
2. Direct ACP context is presently well below guard thresholds, but `observed_provider_ceiling` is null. The prior ~300k compaction concern remains an unverified runtime risk; do not infer safety from the advertised 1.05M limit.
3. The preferred model log ends with the user’s 2026-08-17 Google interview-talk preparation and a temporary OpenAI-auth recovery. Treat housing inbox follow-up and local YouTube archive as pending user-facing work, not active background jobs.
