Operational Synthesis Report

Summary

Current runtime is healthy, but several durable maintenance items remain open. The latest user activity is a same-day Hamburg trip: Ghost Town festival research followed by a request for highly rated counter/self-service coffee and food near Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. These recommendations are transient and should be live-verified if revisited.

## Summary

Current runtime is healthy, but several durable maintenance items remain open. The latest user activity is a same-day Hamburg trip: Ghost Town festival research followed by a request for highly rated counter/self-service coffee and food near Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. These recommendations are transient and should be live-verified if revisited.

## Evidence Reviewed

- `model-conversation-log.jsonl`: current through 2026-09-05T10:07Z; latest user turns concern Ghost Town Hamburg and coffee near the main station.
- `memory-heartbeat.json`: restore healthy (`ok=true`), 7,526 entries; semantic state changed; no generated-state row changes.
- `model-heartbeat.json`: latest run succeeded (`rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`).
- `context-guard.json`: direct ACP normal, 271,079 provider tokens / 25.8%, no compaction or reload recommendation; live model `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`.
- `continuity-summary.txt`: still incorrectly says `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`; this is generated-state drift, not a reason to edit the output directly.
- `operational-synthesis/actions.jsonl` and `notices.jsonl`: open backlog includes scheduled-worker model/config repair, durable polling control-plane design, provider-ceiling/control-plane verification, stale decision state, semantic-memory audit, notice-source hardening, and other older follow-ups.
- `semantic-candidates.jsonl`: inspected material is overwhelmingly reviewed/stale early-test content; candidates are not authoritative memory.

## Findings

- **Verified healthy core:** memory restore, model heartbeat, and direct ACP context guard are currently healthy.
- **New durable operational context:** the main agent should know the user is traveling in Hamburg today and may ask follow-up questions about Ghost Town or nearby food/coffee; event/opening details must be checked live.
- **Persistent drift:** scheduled-worker selection has not been repaired/proven. The generated continuity snapshot names an unavailable obsolete Kimi model while the live session is GPT-5.6 Terra.
- **Architecture remains the priority:** isolate arbitrary-timing watchers, durable queue, dedupe/debounce, retries/backoff, deadlines, wake budgets, shadow mode, and visible subagent lifecycle before the future prompt-builder/native backend. The prior architecture-review subagent timed out after malformed empty-input calls and is not evidence against the design.
- **Visibility gap:** direct reads of `/home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl` and `observability.jsonl` were denied/unavailable in this cycle; native Matrix-lite status tools for timers/subagents/backlog were not exposed. Do not infer backlog from canonical-vs-filtered log counts.

## Actions

- Main agent/infrastructure: repair the scheduled-worker model/config source and verify two consecutive clean runs.
- Main agent/infrastructure: stage the isolated polling control plane in shadow mode first; do not retrofit the ACP-coupled timer dispatcher.
- Main agent: refresh stale `decision-state.json` and audit semantic memory when convenient; keep candidate rows as review material.

## Blockers

- Denied/unavailable checks: `turns.jsonl`, `observability.jsonl`, and native timer/subagent/backlog status surfaces. No approvals requested.
- No bounded subagent was spawned in this cycle; the previous architecture-review job remains a known timeout/non-evidence.

## Backlog Plan

- Preserve current live session; no reload or backend replacement is warranted at 25.8% context usage.
- Recheck scheduled-worker health and control-plane status when status surfaces become available.
- Treat Hamburg event, venue, rating, and opening-hour details as transient; verify live before acting.
