Summary

The bounded registered conversations contain no new user-authored turn after 2026-10-26. Memory restore, packet generation, and Luna curation are healthy. The October 26 audio handoff/deployment discussion remains historical and unverified by an external controller receipt, reconnect, or new MCP-schema observation; it must not be replayed or treated as completed.

Conversation reconciliation

• `persistent:main`: rows 6543–6566 (2026-10-26) cover the proposed deployment controller, permission retries, a claimed recording migration, and the user's question about graceful deployment.

• `persistent:topic:a9f0ca744ef74cbabb21548f73850a81` (Audio): row 6552 is still the last direct result, `recording_not_in_this_topic`. The later migration and schema-reload claims are assistant-authored and lack independent receipts.

• `persistent:topic:c8c72bf172ef4e484e3235ed712054cf` (Housing): old, topic-local Mr Lodge/listing discussion; no active work in the bounded excerpt.

• `persistent:topic:3dcc9021ed4c9a0268b085663cf67615` (Travel): completed Würzburg context; no active trip task.

• `persistent:topic:da40c6c8c10b07ede097d36fe85dabc1` (Projects): testing-only history.

• `persistent:topic:b288bdf0a2a485cc637961f0b63fb566`: deleted and empty; preserve the key, infer no work.

Do not queue a deployment or repeat the handoff from these historical claims. If the owner revisits it, require controller audit/history, service reconnect, topic ownership confirmation, and new MCP-tool visibility.

Verified current health

• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 05:10Z: restore `ok=true`; 7,696 canonical entries and 6,566 model-conversation rows.

• `memory-context-manifest.json` at 05:10Z: turn/session/restore packets exist and are not stale versus sources.

• `model-heartbeat.json` at 04:39Z: `rc=0`, `acpx_rc=0`, `UPDATED`, model `openai/gpt-5.6-luna`; current configured synthesis/curator identity supersedes historical Kimi warnings.

• Candidate lifecycle remains review-only: semantic `90 promoted / 308 ignored / 201 stale / 1 parse_error / 1 needs_more_evidence`; memory `58 promoted / 176 ignored / 2 stale / 2 needs_more_evidence`. The three open-review rows are not facts and need no operational-synthesis promotion.

• `context-guard.json` at 05:09Z: direct ACP `804,498/1,050,000` provider tokens (76.6%), stage `warn`, no compaction, and `next_turn_reload_recommended=false`. The latest direct-turn timestamp is 2026-10-26, consistent with the model log's inactivity since that exchange; this is monitoring pressure, not a reload instruction.

• `recent-failures.json` is stale from May and marks its entries resolved/superseded; it is not evidence of a current incident.

Projection and control-plane limits

Generated packets are fresh, but pinned-state.md/turn-packet.md still project stale July open actions/notices and the historical October deployment claim. This is source/projection debt; generated artifacts were not edited.

task-state.json was read before considering future work, but its one-line registry is truncated by the read surface. Reads of workspace timers, /home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl, approvals, and observability were denied. A non-mutating Python diagnostic was also denied by the Bash policy, and the extended-tools manifest exposed no Matrix-lite timer/subagent/status helpers. Therefore this report makes no claim about timer settlement, current approvals, turn receipts, backlog, active subagents, or deployment execution.

Durable-memory decision

• Curated-memory proposal: none. The fresh deployment/self-restart candidate is assistant-authored and remains `needs_more_evidence`; the privacy/identity candidate is context-specific and also remains unpromoted.

• No curated-memory, semantic-candidate, memory-candidate, perpetual-log, generated-packet, backend, or reload artifact was edited.

• No task proposal was created: existing task-state evidence is insufficient, and no genuinely new task is justified.

Maintenance performed

• Replaced this checkpoint with the completed report.

• Updated `operational-synthesis/latest.md` and warm memory `recent-topics.md`.

• Appended no findings/hypotheses/actions/notices JSONL record because the observations are covered by existing guidance and no non-duplicative durable record was needed.

• No native or async subagent was used; only read-only file inspection and the extended-tool manifest were used.

Suggested robustness fixes

1. Expose one role-aware read-only diagnostic covering task state, timers, turns, approvals, observability, backlog (missing_runtime_entries/needs_sync), and active subagents.

2. Fix packet projection at its source so resolved/obsolete actions and notices are filtered; never repair generated packets manually.

3. Before routine automated service deployment, add the explicit active-claim/drain handshake and durable post-restart schema receipt already identified in the historical design.

4. Separate context-guard's current provider-usage sample from its last user-turn timestamp so quiet sessions do not look stale or active by accident.

Blockers and limitations

Denied external-directory reads, denied Bash diagnostics, truncated task-state output, and absent Matrix-lite status helpers prevented independent verification of timers, approvals, current receipts, backlog, and subagent state. These are non-fatal; synthesis is limited to the model log, heartbeats, cursors, packets, and operational artifacts that were readable.
