Operational Synthesis Report

status: complete
focus: scheduled full synthesis
material_digest: 25664923d12933a197e26e695406e9a2348b72454f8fb6101b48701130f56d8e

Summary

Runtime is healthy, but this cycle confirms unresolved maintenance drift and verification gaps. No new user turn has appeared after 2026-09-05T10:13:16Z; the durable current thread remains Hamburg/Ghost Town followed by a 5–15 minute walk search for highly rated counter-service coffee and food near Hauptbahnhof.

Evidence Reviewed

memory-heartbeat.json (2026-09-07T22:06:53Z): restore ok, 7,528 source entries, 6,487 visible, 1,041 filtered; model-conversation-log 6,394 rows.
model-heartbeat.json (2026-09-07T22:06:34Z): rc=0, acpx_rc=0, NO_CHANGE; semantic state changed, but no curated-memory content change.
context-guard.json (2026-09-07T22:06:30Z): direct ACP normal, 283,998 provider tokens (27.0%), configured/live model openai/gpt-5.6-terra, no compaction or reload recommendation.
model-conversation-log.jsonl: latest row 6,394, assistant response at 2026-09-05T10:13:16Z.
actions.jsonl, findings.jsonl, notices.jsonl, recent-topics.md: open maintenance items and prior drift notices remain active.

Findings

Healthy memory/runtime baseline. Restore and both heartbeat result codes are successful; no evidence supports a sync backlog. Canonical-vs-filtered line counts must not be interpreted as missing conversations.
Generated model identity remains stale. continuity-summary.txt says kimi-for-coding/k2p6, while context guard and current heartbeat context identify openai/gpt-5.6-terra. Repair the scheduled-worker/source path and verify two clean runs; do not edit the generated summary directly.
Candidate review remains open. Prior synthesis records 13 open memory candidates and one semantic candidate at needs_more_evidence; semantic_changed=true is not a promotion. Curator should review via its deterministic candidate helpers before promotion.
Architecture action remains open. The isolated durable polling control plane is still the main engineering priority: arbitrary per-watch timing, durable queue, dedupe/debounce, retry/backoff, deadlines, wake budgets, shadow mode, and visible lifecycle; ACP resume is transitional.

Actions

Main agent/infrastructure: repair scheduled-worker model selection and prove two consecutive successful runs.
Curator/main agent: review the 13 open memory candidates and one needs_more_evidence semantic candidate; promote only durable explicit signals.
Main agent/infrastructure: stage the isolated polling control plane in shadow mode before integrating ACP dispatch.
When status surfaces are available, verify persistent_chat_log_backlog_status, timers, subagents, turns, observability, and provider-ceiling telemetry independently.

Blockers

Native Matrix-lite timer/subagent status tools were not exposed in this worker interface.
turns.jsonl, observability.jsonl, and the pending timer file were not independently verified this cycle; do not infer their state from log counts.
directed/latest.md and directed/index.json were absent at the referenced paths, so no directed synthesis input was available.

Backlog Plan

Keep the main backend/session untouched: context is normal and no reload is warranted.
Treat stale generated model identity and candidate-review backlog as the actionable near-term risks.
Harden notice/index regeneration so resolved or obsolete reports cannot repeatedly re-inflate notices.jsonl.
