Operational Synthesis Report

status: complete
focus: scheduled full synthesis

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.
