Executive synthesis

The persistent-chat source and memory workers are healthy and caught up, but there has been no new registered user-facing activity after 2026-10-26T06:57:14Z in the preferred model log. The main chat's recording-handoff/deferred-deployment statements remain assistant-authored historical claims: the Audio topic still ends with recording_not_in_this_topic, and no independent controller, ownership, reconnect, or MCP-schema receipt proves completion. Do not replay or queue that old work.

The current model assignments are Luna for operational synthesis and curation (openai/gpt-5.6-luna), and Terra for the live main direct-ACP session (openai/gpt-5.6-terra). Historical Kimi/provider warnings are superseded and are not current incidents.

Conversation reconciliation

All supplied registered keys were reviewed separately:

| Conversation key | Bounded evidence and current interpretation |

|---|---|

| persistent:main | Rows 6555–6566, 2026-10-26T01:43–06:57Z: permission-expiry retries, then an assistant-authored claim that the recording migration was implemented/tested and a delayed deployment was proposed. This is not an external completion receipt. |

| persistent:topic:a9f0ca744ef74cbabb21548f73850a81 (Audio) | Rows 6541–6552, 2026-10-26T00:41–01:15Z: retry history still ends with recording_not_in_this_topic. This is the strongest direct evidence about the handoff and contradicts treating the main-chat claim as verified completion. |

| persistent:topic:3dcc9021ed4c9a0268b085663cf67615 (Travel & places) | 2026-09-17–18 testing and Würzburg one-day travel context. Topic-local and historical; no active map/trip task is evidenced. |

| persistent:topic:c8c72bf172ef4e484e3235ed712054cf (Housing) | 2026-09-17 Mr Lodge/Gmund fallback and listing discussion. Topic-local; no current viewing or outreach task is evidenced in the bounded excerpt. |

| persistent:topic:da40c6c8c10b07ede097d36fe85dabc1 (Projects) | 2026-09-17 topic-identification/testing only; no active project task. |

| persistent:topic:b288bdf0a2a485cc637961f0b63fb566 | Deleted topic with zero rows; preserve its registered state, but infer no content. |

The durable audio workflow itself is already promoted as topic-local: poor-quality recordings may be language-identified, transcribed, enhanced when useful, and translated. That promotion does not prove the one-time topic migration or deployment.

Runtime and memory evidence

• memory-heartbeat.json at 17:06:38Z: restore ok=true; 7,696 canonical entries, 6,655 visible entries, 1,041 filtered; model-conversation log at 6,566 rows; semantic_changed=true.
• model-heartbeat.json at 16:40:25Z: rc=0, acpx_rc=0, UPDATED, model openai/gpt-5.6-luna.
• background-cursors.json: log ingestion and semantic ingestion processed all 6,566 model rows. Candidate status counts are semantic 90 promoted / 308 ignored / 201 stale / 1 parse_error / 1 needs_more_evidence, and memory 58 promoted / 176 ignored / 2 stale / 2 needs_more_evidence. These review rows are not facts and require curator ownership; no promotion is proposed.
• memory-context-manifest.json at 17:06:38Z: turn/session/restore packets exist and all freshness checks are false.
• context-guard.json at 17:11:16Z: live Terra session at 804498/1050000 provider tokens (76.6%), stage warn, no provider compaction detected, and next_turn_reload_recommended=false. It is below the 875,500-token handoff threshold. The latest logged turn remains 2026-10-26, so current liveness beyond worker artifacts is not independently demonstrated.

Open-ledger review

• actions.jsonl contains many historical open rows from July–September and one later supersession record. They are evidence of prior backlog, not fresh instructions; no old housing, YouTube, Kimi-repair, missed-ping, or daily-brief item is revived here.
• hypotheses.jsonl contains only old May hypotheses/confirmed historical diagnoses; no current hypothesis is added.
• The latest existing notice (2026-10-26T23:11Z) already covers the unverified Audio handoff/deployment, so no duplicate notice is appended.
• task-state.json was read before considering future work, but its single long line is tool-truncated. It visibly contains the historical daily-brief checkpoint; exact task state, next run, receipts, and completion cannot be safely enumerated. No task proposal is made.
• pinned-state.md is freshly generated but still projects stale July/September action and topic summaries. It is a generated packet and was not edited; source artifacts remain authoritative.

Blockers and unavailable checks

• The extended-tool manifest exposed no matrix_lite_status_timer_* or matrix_lite_status_subagent_* helpers. Timer and direct turns.jsonl reads were denied by policy; observability.jsonl was absent at the requested path. Approvals, active subagents, timer state, task-run receipts, and persistent_chat_log_backlog_status therefore remain unverified.
• A non-mutating Bash diagnostic to parse the one-line task registry was denied. This is non-fatal and does not change the source-log conclusion.
• Do not infer missing conversations, sync backlog, task settlement, or deployment execution from canonical-vs-model line counts or stale packet projections. The current background cursor explicitly shows model-log ingestion caught up.

Recommended robustness fixes

1. Expose one role-aware read-only control-plane report covering task occurrences/finalizers/delivery receipts, timers, approvals, subagents, observability, and backlog missing_runtime_entries/needs_sync.
2. Make packet aggregation status/age-filter historical actions and notices; do not edit generated packets directly.
3. Before future automated Telegram deployments, require durable controller acceptance, active-claim/drain, service reconnect, topic-ownership, and MCP-schema-version receipts.

Maintenance result

• Replaced this checkpoint with the completed report.
• Updated operational-synthesis/latest.md and recent-topics.md.
• Appended one current limited-confidence finding to findings.jsonl.
• No curated-memory edit or curation proposal; no task proposal; no actions/hypotheses/notices appended.
• No native or async subagent was used; no backend reload, deployment, approval request, or generated/perpetual-log edit was performed.
