• completed: 2026-10-20T16:11:04Z
• status: complete
• scope: scheduled higher-level synthesis; Smoke and Diagnostics excluded
• configured synthesis/curator model: `openai/gpt-5.6-luna`
Runtime and memory curation are healthy. The registered conversation set has no supplied user activity after 2026-10-01, and no new durable memory proposal is justified. A generated receipt remains stale (Received—working), while timer/task/turn/approval/observability state could not be independently verified. One context-specific memory candidate remains deliberately needs_more_evidence.
• `model-conversation-log.jsonl` rows 6480–6501, plus the supplied bounded conversation packet.
• `memory-heartbeat.json`, `model-heartbeat.json`, `background-cursors.json`, `memory-context-manifest.json`, `context-guard.json`, `restore-packet.json`.
• `task-state.json`, `decision-state.json`, `recent-topics.md`, `curator-journal.md`, `curator-log.jsonl`, `curated-memory.md` (read-only), and operational-synthesis JSONL artifacts.
• `pinned-state.md`, `continuity-summary.txt`, and `reload-note.md` for generated-state/reload consistency.
• `persistent:main`: active history includes the 2026-09-22 daily-brief complaint/technical request, 2026-09-23 voice tests and the future voice-generation goal, then the 2026-10-01 “Hey, test” / “What took 30 min?” exchange. The model log ends with the completed latency answer at 2026-10-01T19:15:33Z; no later user rows are present. The daily-brief repair discussion is historical evidence, not a current instruction or proof of repair.
• `persistent:topic:c8c72bf172ef4e484e3235ed712054cf` (Housing): topic-local Mr. Lodge/Gmund material from 2026-09-17; no active listing or contract task is established by the supplied excerpts.
• `persistent:topic:3dcc9021ed4c9a0268b085663cf67615` (Travel): completed Würzburg context from 2026-09-17/18; no active trip task.
• `persistent:topic:da40c6c8c10b07ede097d36fe85dabc1` (Projects): test-only context; no active project task.
• `persistent:topic:b288bdf0a2a485cc637961f0b63fb566`: deleted and empty; preserve the key as registered history.
• Restore is healthy: `restore_result.ok=true`; canonical log 7,634 rows, visible model log 6,593 rows, runtime-turn rows 3,821.
• Model heartbeat is current and successful: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `UPDATED`, model `openai/gpt-5.6-luna` at 2026-10-20T14:31:30Z.
• Direct ACP is normal on `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`: 493,851 provider tokens / 1,050,000 maximum (47.0%); no compaction or reload is recommended.
• Packet manifest is fresh with no stale turn/session/restore packet flags.
• Semantic candidates: 596 total — 88 promoted, 306 ignored, 201 stale, 1 parse error, 0 open review rows.
• Memory candidates: 235 total — 57 promoted, 175 ignored, 2 stale, 1 `needs_more_evidence`. Candidate 226 is a context-specific privacy/identity stance and should remain unpromoted absent broader evidence.
• `semantic_changed=true` records ingestion/update activity; it is not itself a promotion signal.
• Source logs contain the completed 2026-10-01 answer, but generated `pinned-state.md` still says the latest assistant status is `Received—working`. This is source-side receipt/projection debt, not evidence of missing chat. Do not edit generated packets directly; repair the source aggregation/finalizer.
• `task-state.json` is a one-line/truncated historical registry snapshot. Its old daily-brief checkpoint and old action records do not prove a current task plan, delivery, or completion; do not replay them.
• Direct reads of `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/state/timers/timers.json`, `/home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl`, `/home/matrix-lite/state/approvals.json`, and `/home/matrix-lite/state/observability.jsonl` were denied. The extended-tools manifest exposed no Matrix-lite timer/subagent/backlog status helpers; describing the expected helper names returned `unknown extended tool/server`.
• Therefore current timer inventory, task receipts, pending approvals, active subagents, and `missing_runtime_entries`/`needs_sync` are unverified. No backlog or sync problem is inferred from canonical-vs-model line counts.
• The open JSONL action pool contains several old infrastructure/design items and stale housing/archive items. Current runtime metadata supersedes the historical Kimi worker-repair warnings, but source-level worker configuration was not independently inspected this cycle.
• Old hypotheses about Kimi identity, May heartbeat failures, and prior reloads remain historical/untested or resolved; none should be revived as current incidents. The large-context latency explanation remains a hypothesis only.
• No task proposal, curated-memory proposal, reload, backend replacement, or approval request was warranted.
• Replaced this checkpoint with the completed report.
• Refreshed `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/recent-topics.md` with the current runtime/control-plane summary.
• `operational-synthesis/latest.md` already pointed to this report and required no change.
• No generated packet, `curated-memory.md`, `perpetual-log.jsonl`, task registry, or task database was edited. No findings/actions/hypotheses/notices JSONL record was appended because current evidence is already represented and duplicate notices would add noise.
1. Expose one role-aware, read-only control-plane diagnostic covering timers, task receipts/state transitions, direct turns, approvals, observability, active subagents, and log-backlog fields.
2. Repair receipt aggregation at its source so completed assistant delivery replaces stale Received—working in generated packets; keep generated artifacts immutable to agents.
3. Add source-side filtering/deduplication when directed reports repopulate notices, but do not treat the historical duplicate-notice pattern as a new incident without current evidence.
