Summary

Memory/runtime state is healthy, but the maintenance backlog is material and largely unchanged. The preferred model conversation log is current through 2026-09-03 and records the user's durable polling-control-plane request; no newer user-facing conversation is present.

Evidence Reviewed

• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 2026-09-09T10:08Z: restore OK, 7,528 rows, 6,394 model-log rows, `semantic_changed=true`.

• `model-heartbeat.json` at 2026-09-09T10:08Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `NO_CHANGE`; no curated-memory or reflection change.

• Latest model-log activity: 2026-09-03 feature-request discussion for an isolated durable polling loop and sessionless prompt-builder/native-backend migration.

• One semantic candidate remains `needs_more_evidence`; it is a one-off cultural-events request and is not promotion material.

• `decision-state.json` is stale (last updated 2026-05-27). Directed synthesis has no new report since 2026-05-26.

Findings

• Runtime/restore is healthy. Do not infer backlog from canonical-vs-model line-count differences; no explicit backlog-status result was available here.

• The main unresolved engineering priority is the isolated durable polling control plane: arbitrary per-watch schedules, durable queue, dedupe/debounce, retries/backoff, deadlines, wake budgets, shadow mode, and visible subagent lifecycle, with ACP-resume only as a transitional adapter.

• Scheduled-worker model/configuration repair remains open. Historical state repeatedly identifies obsolete `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`; a successful current heartbeat does not prove the worker source/config is repaired.

• Notice-source hardening remains relevant: directed-index regeneration has historically re-inflated obsolete/duplicate notices.

Actions

• Inspect and repair scheduled-worker model selection, then prove two consecutive runs with the intended model.

• Review the polling-control-plane design before implementation; keep it isolated and shadow-first.

• Curator/main agent: review the remaining memory-candidate backlog and the one semantic candidate; do not promote transient cultural context.

• Refresh `decision-state.json` and harden directed-notice regeneration when convenient.

Blockers / Missing Tools

• Native Matrix-lite timer, subagent, approval, backlog, and observability status surfaces were unavailable in this worker turn. `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status` was not available.

• No native or async subagents were used; exploration was limited to read-only state artifacts.

• This worker must not edit generated packets, `curated-memory.md`, `perpetual-log.jsonl`, or generated continuity summaries.

Backlog Plan

Next cycle: verify scheduled-worker selection and independent backlog/timer/subagent status if those tools become available. Preserve the healthy heartbeat result, but treat worker configuration and control-plane design as open operational risks.
