• scope: registered persistent conversations only; Smoke and Diagnostics excluded

Executive summary

Memory ingestion, packet regeneration, and Luna curation are healthy and caught up. The supplied conversation excerpts contain no user-facing rows after 2026-10-26. The main/Audio recording-handoff and deferred-deployment thread remains an assistant-authored historical claim: Audio still ends with recording_not_in_this_topic, and no independent controller, ownership, reconnect, or MCP-schema receipt proves completion. Do not replay or declare it complete.

This is not a no-op: three review candidates remain deliberately needs_more_evidence, generated state still projects stale historical actions, and the control-plane receipt/timer/subagent surfaces remain unavailable.

Conversation reconciliation

• `persistent:main` — rows 6559–6566, 2026-10-26: approval clarification, claimed recording handoff, and a delayed-deployment design. These are assistant-authored claims, not completion receipts.

• `persistent:topic:a9f0ca744ef74cbabb21548f73850a81` (Audio) — rows 6549–6552, 2026-10-26: retry history still ends with `recording_not_in_this_topic`; handoff remains unverified.

• `persistent:topic:c8c72bf172ef4e484e3235ed712054cf` (Housing) — rows 6437–6442, 2026-09-17: Mr Lodge/Gmund and Anmeldung context is topic-local historical context; no current action is evidenced.

• `persistent:topic:3dcc9021ed4c9a0268b085663cf67615` (Travel & places) — rows 6425–6428 and 6478–6479, 2026-09-17–18: Würzburg context; no active trip or map task is evidenced.

• `persistent:topic:da40c6c8c10b07ede097d36fe85dabc1` (Projects) — rows 6429–6432, 2026-09-17: topic creation/testing only; no active project task is evidenced.

• `persistent:topic:b288bdf0a2a485cc637961f0b63fb566` — deleted, zero rows; no state to reconcile.

No topic-local material supports a new global-memory proposal.

Verified runtime and memory state

• `memory-heartbeat.json` at 05:09Z: restore `ok=true`, 7,696 canonical entries, 6,655 visible entries, and 6,566 model-log rows; `semantic_changed=true` records processing activity, not trusted-memory promotion.

• `background-cursors.json` is caught up through all 6,566 model rows. Semantic candidates: 90 promoted / 308 ignored / 201 stale / 1 parse error / 1 `needs_more_evidence`; memory candidates: 58 promoted / 176 ignored / 2 stale / 2 `needs_more_evidence`. The three retained rows are review material, not facts.

• `model-heartbeat.json` and `curator-log.jsonl` show successful `UPDATED`, `rc=0/acpx_rc=0`, Luna curation at 04:42Z; the 04:41Z journal entry found no new durable global fact and promoted nothing from the deployment/privacy signals.

• Packet manifest at 05:09Z reports all packet freshness checks clear. `restore-packet.json`, `session-packet.json`, and `turn-packet.json` were regenerated; no generated packet was edited here.

• `context-guard.json` at 05:08Z records 804,498/1,050,000 direct-ACP provider tokens (76.6%), stage `warn`, no compaction, and no reload recommendation. Its latest usage sample is tied to 2026-10-26 and its main-session model field is separate from the current Luna synthesis/curator configuration; treat the telemetry as a stale pressure snapshot, not proof of current turn activity.

Open-state review and hypotheses

• Existing `actions.jsonl`, `findings.jsonl`, `hypotheses.jsonl`, and `notices.jsonl` contain many historical open/monitoring records (including control-plane diagnostics, provider-ceiling proof, stale generated-state cleanup, and deployment hardening). They were not revived as current tasks. The relevant current interpretation remains: settlement is unverified because the read-only control-plane surface is missing, not because a failure was observed.

• The three `needs_more_evidence` candidate rows were re-reviewed by the curator on 2026-11-01 and remain unpromoted: one assistant-authored deployment workflow signal, one context-specific privacy/identity signal, and the corresponding semantic workflow signal.

• No new hypothesis or task proposal is justified. In particular, do not infer backlog, missing conversations, or task completion from the 7,696-vs-6,566 line-count difference; the model log is filtered/deduplicated and ingestion cursors are caught up.

Control-plane blockers and robustness risks

• `task-state.json` was read but is a one-line/truncated registry; running/blocked/completed settlement and receipts cannot be reconstructed reliably. It is not authorization.

• The extended-tool manifest exposes no named `matrix_lite_status_timer_*` or `matrix_lite_status_subagent_*` helpers. Reads/searches for approvals, turns, observability, and timers were denied or unavailable in this cycle. Active timers, approvals, subagents, delivery receipts, and `persistent_chat_log_backlog_status` therefore remain unverified.

• Generated projections remain semantically stale and still surface historical deployment/open-action text. Repair source aggregation or expose a role-aware diagnostic rather than editing generated packets directly.

• The durable operational risk is observability/control-plane blindness: add one read-only helper covering task occurrences/receipts, timers, approvals, subagents, observability, and log-backlog `missing_runtime_entries`/`needs_sync`.

Maintenance record

• Replaced the pre-created checkpoint with this completed report and updated `latest.md`.

• Added one current summary block to `recent-topics.md`.

• No curated-memory proposal, semantic-candidate lifecycle change, JSONL append, task proposal, approval request, deployment, reload, backend replacement, generated/perpetual-log edit, or native/async subagent was used.
