Executive summary

Runtime and curation are healthy. The preferred model log is caught up through row 6566, Luna curation succeeded at 16:41Z, and packets regenerated at 17:08Z. The only material operational concern remains unverified historical Audio recording handoff/deferred deployment: the main chat claims implementation, but the Audio topic's last direct evidence still says recording_not_in_this_topic. Do not treat the deployment as complete or replay it without a fresh controller/service/schema receipt.

Conversation reconciliation

• persistent:main — 2026-10-26, rows 6559–6566: user clarified that an approval must be requested; assistant then claimed a recording handoff was implemented and proposed delayed deployment. This is assistant-authored implementation/design evidence, not an external receipt.
• persistent:topic:a9f0ca744ef74cbabb21548f73850a81 (Audio) — 2026-10-26, rows 6549–6552: retry history still ends in recording_not_in_this_topic; this is the strongest direct evidence for the unresolved handoff.
• persistent:topic:c8c72bf172ef4e484e3235ed712054cf (Housing) — 2026-09-17: Mr Lodge/Gmund listing and Anmeldung/commute considerations are topic-local historical context; no current housing action is evidenced.
• persistent:topic:3dcc9021ed4c9a0268b085663cf67615 (Travel & places) — 2026-09-17–18: Würzburg itinerary and shared-memory test; no active trip or map task is evidenced.
• persistent:topic:da40c6c8c10b07ede097d36fe85dabc1 (Projects) — 2026-09-17: topic-creation/testing only; no active project task is evidenced.
• persistent:topic:b288bdf0a2a485cc637961f0b63fb566 — deleted, zero rows; no state to reconcile.

The global operational conclusion is therefore limited to runtime/curation health and the need to verify the Audio/deployment boundary. Housing, travel, projects, and the deleted topic do not supply global plans or new durable memory.

Verified runtime and memory state

• memory-heartbeat.json at 17:08Z: restore ok=true, 7,696 canonical entries, 6,655 visible entries, 6,566 model-log rows; packet files were regenerated.
• background-cursors.json: log ingestion and semantic ingestion processed all 6,566 model rows. Semantic review counts: 90 promoted / 308 ignored / 201 stale / 1 parse error / 1 needs_more_evidence; memory review counts: 58 promoted / 176 ignored / 2 stale / 2 needs_more_evidence. The three unresolved rows remain review material, not facts.
• model-heartbeat.json and curator-log.jsonl: successful Luna run at 16:41Z (rc=0, acpx_rc=0, UPDATED); curator journal confirms no new durable global memory and no candidate promotion.
• context-guard.json at 17:07Z: direct ACP backend is openai/gpt-5.6-terra, 804,498/1,050,000 provider tokens (76.6%), stage warn, no provider compaction detected, and no next-turn reload recommendation. This main-backend fact is distinct from the current synthesis/curator model and does not revive stale Kimi warnings.
• memory-context-manifest.json: packet freshness flags are clear. This verifies artifact freshness, not semantic correctness of stale historical summaries inside generated packets.

Control-plane limitations and risks

• task-state.json was read but is a one-line registry truncated by the read surface; task settlement, receipts, and completed/cancelled status cannot be independently reconstructed from this turn.
• Native reads of /home/matrix-lite/state/approvals.json, /home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl, and /home/matrix-lite/workspace/state/timers/timers.json were denied. observability.jsonl is absent at the requested persistent-chat path. The extended-tool manifest exposed no named matrix_lite_status_timer_* or matrix_lite_status_subagent_* helpers.
• Consequently, active timers, approvals, subagents, delivery receipts, and backlog needs_sync status remain unverified. Do not infer missing conversations or backlog from canonical/model line-count differences; the ingestion cursor is caught up for the preferred model log.
• Generated pinned-state.md remains semantically stale: it still presents the 2026-10-26 deployment question as the current thread and projects old open actions. It must not be edited directly or treated as authorization. Repair should happen at the source aggregation layer.

Actions / hypotheses

1. On the next relevant Audio/deployment turn, independently verify controller acceptance/audit, service reconnect, topic ownership, and new MCP-schema exposure before claiming completion. Do not replay the old request automatically.
2. When control-plane access is available, expose one role-aware read-only diagnostic covering task occurrences/receipts, timers, approvals, subagents, observability, and log-backlog status.
3. Existing needs_more_evidence candidate rows remain correctly unpromoted. No new curated-memory proposal, task proposal, or hypothesis is justified this cycle.

Maintenance record

• Replaced this checkpoint with the completed report.
• Updated latest.md and warm memory recent-topics.md.
• Appended no finding, hypothesis, action, notice, or task-proposal JSONL record; existing entries are materially duplicative or historical.
• No curated-memory edit, backend reload/replacement, deployment, approval request, generated-packet edit, or perpetual-log edit.
• No native or async subagent used.
