Summary

No new user-facing activity or confirmed deployment receipt appeared after the previous cycle. Runtime and curation are healthy, but the recording handoff/deferred Telegram deployment remains an assistant-authored historical claim; the Audio topic still ends with recording_not_in_this_topic. Control-plane status and task settlement remain unverified because the relevant reads are unavailable/denied.

Conversation reconciliation

• `persistent:main` (open): latest supplied activity is 2026-10-26T06:56–06:57Z, asking about graceful deployment. The proposed delayed-controller path and staged migration are claims in assistant text, not independent execution receipts.

• `persistent:topic:a9f0ca744ef74cbabb21548f73850a81` (Audio, open): the latest direct evidence is the 2026-10-26T01:15Z retry ending `recording_not_in_this_topic`. A later main-chat replay does not prove topic ownership or migration.

• `persistent:topic:3dcc9021ed4c9a0268b085663cf67615` (Travel, open): historical Würzburg trip context from 2026-09-17/18; no active plan.

• `persistent:topic:c8c72bf172ef4e484e3235ed712054cf` (Housing, open): historical Mr Lodge/Gmund fallback discussion from 2026-09-17; no current task.

• `persistent:topic:da40c6c8c10b07ede097d36fe85dabc1` (Projects, open): 2026-09-17 testing only; no active project task.

• `persistent:topic:b288bdf0a2a485cc637961f0b63fb566` (deleted): no rows. Conversation keys and scopes are preserved; no cross-topic plan was inferred.

Verified runtime and memory state

• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 23:07Z: restore succeeded (`ok=true`), 7,696 canonical entries, 6,655 visible entries, 1,041 filtered entries; semantic ingestion changed state.

• `model-heartbeat.json` at 22:38Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, successful `UPDATED` run on the configured `openai/gpt-5.6-luna` curator. This supersedes historical Kimi/model-drift reports.

• Packet manifest at 23:07Z is healthy: turn/session/restore packets exist and are not stale versus sources.

• Direct ACP context is 804,498/1,050,000 provider tokens (76.6%), `warn` but below the 875,500 handoff threshold; no reload is recommended. No backend replacement or reload was performed.

• Candidate lifecycle remains review-only: semantic `90 promoted / 308 ignored / 201 stale / 1 parse_error / 1 needs_more_evidence` with one open review row; memory `58 promoted / 176 ignored / 2 stale / 2 needs_more_evidence` with two open review rows. The 2026-10-28 curator journal explicitly retained deployment/self-restart and identity/privacy signals as `needs_more_evidence`; neither is durable fact memory.

• `recent-failures.json` is stale (last updated 2026-05-18) and contains only resolved/superseded historical entries; it is not evidence of a current failure.

Open-state reconciliation

• `actions.jsonl` and `hypotheses.jsonl` were reviewed. They still contain historical open/untested maintenance items, but this cycle supplied no fresh evidence that activates them; none was revived or reissued.

• `task-state.json` was read before considering future work. It is a one-line registry dominated by an old daily-brief checkpoint and explicitly warns that proposals have no execution authority. No new task proposal is justified.

• The directed synthesis index is historical (latest directed report remains from May); no current directed instruction was found.

• No curated-memory proposal was made and no curated-memory file was edited.

Blockers and missing diagnostics

• Direct reads of `/home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl`, `/home/matrix-lite/state/observability.jsonl`, approvals, and the timers file were denied by the external-directory policy. The status-tool surface for timers/subagents/backlog was not exposed in the available tool manifest. A bounded read-only task-registry explorer returned no usable result.

• Therefore current timer execution, active subagents, approvals, deployment-controller state, task settlement, and `missing_runtime_entries/needs_sync` backlog status are unverified. Do not infer any of them from canonical-vs-model line counts.

Actions and robustness guidance

• Keep the recording migration/deployment claim marked **unverified** until an independent ownership receipt, controller audit, Telegram reconnect, and new-schema/MCP receipt appear.

• Do not replay old deployment, audio, housing, or daily-brief work. On a future normal user turn, address only the user’s new request and verify live state first.

• Highest-value infrastructure improvement remains a role-aware read-only diagnostic covering task/timer/subagent/approval/backlog/receipt state; this cycle could not add it.

Maintenance performed

• Replaced this checkpoint with the completed report.

• Updated `latest.md` and prepended one current entry to `recent-topics.md`.

• No JSONL finding/action/hypothesis/notice append, task proposal, generated packet edit, perpetual-log edit, deployment, restart, or backend replacement.

• One bounded native `explore` subagent was attempted for task-registry parsing; it returned no usable result. No web, Playwright, or MCP search branch was needed.
