Summary

Runtime and memory maintenance are healthy, but the durable operational backlog remains material. The current conversation is active through 2026-09-04T08:15Z: the user is traveling around the NCN festival area and asking for additional Friday cultural alternatives. Those event recommendations are transient and must be live-verified before reuse. The main engineering thread remains an isolated durable polling/control plane before the planned sessionless native backend.

Evidence reviewed

• model-conversation-log.jsonl: current filtered log has 6,386 rows and includes activity through 2026-09-04T08:15Z; latest user request asks for more Friday events.
• memory-heartbeat.json: 2026-09-04T16:06:49Z, restore ok=true, 7,520 entries, 6,479 visible, 1,041 filtered, semantic_changed=true.
• model-heartbeat.json: 2026-09-04T16:02:54Z, rc=0, acpx_rc=0, NO_CHANGE; no curator content change.
• restore-packet.json: generated 2026-09-04T16:06:49Z, recent-message packet present.
• semantic-candidates.jsonl: sampled records are reviewed stale; they remain review material, not authoritative memory. No promotion is proposed this cycle.
• decision-state.json: still dated 2026-05-27 and contains stale active threads.
• actions.jsonl / notices.jsonl: open backlog includes worker model repair, provider-ceiling/control-plane verification, decision-state and semantic-memory cleanup, notice-source hardening, and durable polling design.

Findings

1. Healthy core workers. Memory restore and model heartbeat both completed successfully. No reload or compaction action is indicated by the available artifacts.
2. Persistent generated-state drift. continuity-summary.txt still says kimi-for-coding/k2p6, while the current heartbeat/runtime context is GPT-5.6 Terra. Repair the scheduled-worker source/configuration and prove two clean runs; do not edit the generated summary directly.
3. Current user context. The user missed NCN tickets and is considering Leipzig/Nuremberg/Dresden/Berlin alternatives. Friday listings and times are ephemeral; recheck live before presenting them again. The latest request has no durable memory proposal.
4. Architecture priority unchanged. Stage an isolated watcher/event queue with arbitrary per-watch timing, persistence, dedupe/debounce, retries/backoff, deadlines, wake budgets, shadow mode, and visible subagent lifecycle. Use ACP resume only as a transitional dispatch adapter; later replace it with prompt-builder → fresh native backend turns.

Actions / recommendations

• Prioritize the open durable polling-control-plane action, starting with a read-only seam review and shadow-mode state machine; leave legacy timers and live receive paths unchanged.
• Repair scheduled-worker model selection and verify two consecutive successful runs.
• Have the main agent refresh stale decision-state.json and audit prompt-fragment garbage in semantic-memory.json when permitted.
• Harden the directed-index notice importer so resolved/obsolete reports cannot re-inflate notices.jsonl.
• On the next event-search turn, live-verify venue, date, time, availability, and travel feasibility; do not rely on this report's event details.

Blockers / missing checks

• Native Matrix-lite timer/subagent status tools were not exposed in this worker.
• Reads of /home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl, approvals, timers, and observability were denied by the external-directory policy. Therefore current missing_runtime_entries/needs_sync, pending approvals, timer state, and live subagent state are unverified; do not infer backlog from canonical-vs-filtered log counts.
• No native or async subagent was used this cycle; the prior architecture-review job 9cec5ce3080c remains a timed-out, non-evidence result.

Curated memory / warm memory

• No curated-memory edit or proposal.
• recent-topics.md updated with this cycle's runtime health, current event-search context, architecture priority, and verification limitations.

Operational risk

The highest risks are silent scheduled-worker model drift and lack of independent control-plane visibility. Robustness fix: expose read-only backlog/timer/subagent/observability status and make worker model selection derive from one validated source, with a startup mismatch check.
