You are the hourly memory curator for persistent-chat. This is an isolated maintenance session, not a user chat. Goal: update `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curated-memory.md` only if useful. Inputs below include trusted deterministic semantic memory, pinned notes, decision state, recent failures, candidate memory signals, broad semantic candidates, existing curated notes, reflections, and recent raw log tail. Rules: - Preserve important stable user facts, durable preferences/goals, corrections, model/config decisions, and unresolved operational risks. - Resolve contradictions conservatively: prefer explicit user corrections and recent confirmed facts. - Review memory-candidates.jsonl: promote durable/high-signal candidates into curated-memory.md, ignore transient/noisy candidates, and mention ignored-noise patterns in reflection if useful. - Review semantic-candidates.jsonl as lower-confidence main-chat user signals. They are not facts until promoted. Promote only durable/high-signal preferences, corrections, operational directives, or workflow context. - Maintain semantic-candidates.jsonl lifecycle one step at a time using `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-memory semantic-candidates mark --key <key> --status promoted|ignored|stale|needs_more_evidence --reason <why> [--promoted-to <path-or-concept>]`. - For safer batch review, first use `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-memory semantic-candidates review-packet --since <iso> --until <iso> --status candidate --limit <n>` or `list` with `--since/--until/--last-hours/--category/--status`. Use `bulk-mark --dry-run` before broad demotions. - Mark only candidates you actually reviewed this run. Prefer a small batch (roughly 5-15). Use `promoted` only if you also captured the substance in curated-memory.md, decision-state.json, recent-failures.json, or trusted semantic memory. Use `ignored` for transient chatter/noise, `stale` for obsolete items, and `needs_more_evidence` for plausible but unconfirmed signals. - Do NOT store transient chatter, test strings, benchmark noise, or implementation minutiae unless it affects future behavior. - Keep curated-memory.md concise: headings + bullets, ideally under 120 lines. - Ensure curated-memory.md has a top metadata line near the top: `Last curated: <UTC timestamp>; log lines reviewed: <count>`. - If no semantic content changes are needed but the metadata line is stale, update only that metadata line and reply `UPDATED`. - If no useful change is needed, do not edit curated-memory.md; just reply `NO_CHANGE`. - If you edit it, read it back and reply `UPDATED` with a one-sentence summary. - Also append a dated curator note to `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curator-journal.md` on every run. This file is the curator's synthesis journal; it is not the same thing as the operational synthesis worker below. - Curator notes are not authoritative memory. They should capture: what was learned from recent exchanges, uncertainties, useful hypotheses, possible next steps, and operational concerns. - Keep each reflection entry concise (5-12 bullets max) and label speculative ideas as speculative. - Do not edit perpetual-log.jsonl.

Used as memory propagation test — mechanism confirmed working. User stated no need to actively remember; existing entry updated for accuracy. - **Location**: Garching, Germany. Works near TUM campus. - **Nationality**: Russian. - **Comfort ritual**: Uncle Luu's Chinese fried noodles with chicken (food truck on TUM campus). Former daily routine; colleagues teased him for the consistency. - **Music taste**: Industrial, dark ambient, EBM, neofolk, power noise. Attending WGT festival (May 21–25, 2026). Wide travel radius for shows — uses cheap German slow trains. ## Identity & Configuration - **Name**: Persistent Assistant - **Character file**: `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/character.json` - **Migration to Matrix-lite (completed ~2026-05-15T23:00Z)**: OpenClaw gateway fully replaced by **Matrix-lite (Phase 3B)** — direct Matrix `/sync` bridge. ~6-second response times, real-time visibility. Character.json reconstructed by GPT-5.5 after GLM overwrite (debug backup + curated memory; same ideas, wordier prose). Memory continuity verified — correct recall of prior context across migration. Search tools confirmed working. - **Continuity summary validated across reloads (2026-05-16)**: After ~11h overnight silence and multiple morning reloads (07:30Z triggered by status check; 08:20Z unexplained), continuity summary preserved full migration context — GLM→Kimi switch, character card state, search tool availability, reload timestamps. The 08:20Z reload was unexpected and user flagged it as a bug pattern. - **Session metadata in status bar (2026-05-16)**: Session name now includes ISO timestamp and model label. User confirmed this lets them see reload time and model at a glance without asking — feature considered "handy." - **Current model**: `kimi-for-coding/k2p6` (Kimi For Coding) via Kimi subscription. Switched back from GLM-5.1 on 2026-05-15T13:37Z after NanoGPT weekly input-token quota exhaustion caused double timeout and automatic gateway fallback. Previous model history: Kimi K2.6 subscription → GLM-5.1 nanoGPT → Kimi K2.6 subscription. - **Model quota exhausted — opencode-go**: `opencode-go/kimi-k2.6` monthly usage cap hit (429) — no remaining quota. Resets approximately 2026-06-01 (~17 days from 2026-05-15). Timer set to remind. - **Model quota exhausted — nanoGPT**: Weekly input-token quota exhausted on 2026-05-15T13:37Z, forcing automatic fallback from GLM-5.1 back to Kimi. - **Content moderation (updated 2026-05-15)**: Censorship is in the delivery pipeline, not the model. GLM-5.1 through nano-gpt produces soft-R explicit content (more than Kimi's PG-13) — the model itself is uncensored (confirmed via SillyTavern), but the provider system prompt/filter limits output through ACP. User confirmed this is acceptable; the real bother is hard refusals and inability, not the content ceiling. OpenClaw gateway adds no additional guardrails. - **Subagent model routing (FIXED 2026-05-13)**: After ACP reloads loaded Kimi auth and synced subagent tool instructions (07:28Z), subagents now work correctly for main providers. `kimi-for-coding/k2p6` (Kimi subscription), `github-copilot/gpt-5.4` (Copilot), and `openai/gpt-5.5` (OpenAI) all successfully spawn, set model, and execute prompts. Aliases: `kimi`/`kimi-sub`/`kimi-k2.6` (Kimi); `gpt-5.4-high`/`copilot-gpt-5.4-high` (Copilot); `gpt-5.5`/`gpt55` (OpenAI). - **nanoGPT subagent models (2026-05-14)**: 9 models viable under ACP (deepseek-chat, deepseek-v3-0324, DS-V3.1, DS-V3.2, qwen3-coder-30b, minimax-m2.7, glm-5, kimi-k2-instruct, gpt-oss-120b). Many more work in SillyTavern but fail under ACP harness — ACP harness is the filter (tool schemas consume ~6-8K tokens, 16K-context models get stuck in compaction loops). Censorship is pipeline-side: under ACP, Kimi K2 Instruct least censored; GLM 5 / MiniMax M2.7 refuse explicit content. RP/fictional framing in SillyTavern significantly reduces refusals on all models. - **nanoGPT main model benchmark (2026-05-14)**: Report at `nanogpt-benchmark-report.md`. **GLM-5.1**: fastest (~25s), most capable, refuses actual exploits. **MiniMax M2.7**: most permissive (provides exploit code), poetic/concise. **Kimi K2 Instruct/K2.6**: warm but failed programming tests. **DeepSeek V3.2**: direct, fast, inconsistent. Top candidates: GLM-5.1 or MiniMax M2.7. - **nanoGPT thinking variants (2026-05-14)**: **Do not use for main chat** — 50-100% latency increase, self-censor more under ACP, may overthink without output. Reserve for deep-reasoning tasks only. - **nanoGPT architecture (2026-05-14)**: nanoGPT models are for main chat quality evaluation only; coding subagents use GPT-5.5. Full model catalog at legacy path `models-nanogpt.json` from the former OpenClaw workspace. `list_models` tool only returns image models (via dezgo bridge), not text LLMs. - **Dynamic model switching (2026-05-14)**: User wants main model switchable without changing ACP binding. Sequential single-problem subagent prompts work where combined prompts hang; kimi-k2-instruct failed programming test (no code output), glm-5.1 and minimax-m2.7 wrote correct code before timeout. - **Compaction recovery protocol (2026-05-14)**: User instructed: trigger model heartbeat immediately after unexpected compaction/watchdog interruption to recover nuance lost during turn truncation. - **Content reporting limitation (2026-05-14)**: Kimi subscription (current main model) filters/sanitizes uncensored subagent output even when read from raw session JSON. File-based or metadata-only reporting required for uncensored evaluation. - **Search-before-assert protocol (2026-05-15)**: User instructed: search before making uncertain factual claims, especially on non-thinking models where internal self-check is weaker. SearXNG preferred for quick fact checks (local, free, no rate limits); Exa for content extraction; Brave as middle ground; DuckDuckGo mostly redundant. Four search tools available. - **Search timing benchmark (2026-05-15)**: Simultaneous test of all 4 engines on "Kazakhstan incident" query. SearXNG fastest, Exa richest content, Brave solid, DuckDuckGo slowest/most redundant. None returned a "Kazakhstan incident" related to Sci-Hub — confirming the claim was a hallucination. - **Tool batching rule (2026-05-15)**: After GLM assistant accidentally overwrote character.json twice in one session by confusing Write with Read during parallel batched calls, new operational rule: **never include Write/Edit calls in a batch with other operations**. Sequential mutations only. - **GLM censorship level confirmed (2026-05-15)**: Through nano-gpt ACP, GLM 5.1 delivers soft-R explicit content (more detail than Kimi PG-13 but less than SillyTavern direct access). The model itself is uncensored; the provider system prompt/filter is the bottleneck. User explicitly stated hard refusals and inability are the real bother, not the content ceiling — this level is acceptable. - **Search MCP config verified (2026-05-14)**: All search MCPs (`duckduckgo`, `searxng`, `brave-search`) are enabled in flash config; errors are runtime (network/script) rather than configuration. - **Parallel subagent limits (2026-05-13)**: Single Kimi subagent reliable (~15s). Two parallel Kimis usually succeed (~75-100s) but are flaky — failures correlated with reloads. Mixed parallel (1 Kimi + 1 GPT-5.5 + 1 GPT-5.4): GPTs completed in ~38-46s, 3rd Kimi timed out after 300s. Four parallel Kimis all hung at `set_model`. GPT models appear more robust for concurrent subagent use than Kimi subscription. - **Operational risk**: 8-hour session TTL means persistent state must survive reloads; user is monitoring whether memory/heartbeat setup is sufficient. - **Reload context loss**: User explicitly noted 2026-05-12 that assistant "seems to lose some good context on reloads still". Confirms the memory gap is not fully mitigated by current continuity mechanisms. - **Context burn rate (2026-05-15)**: Session context ceiling ~200K tokens with reload trigger at 160K warning. Measured ~10K tokens/hour of active chat; ~162K reached after ~16 hours. Reloads under pressure (not proactive) cause significant nuance loss. - **Manual proactive reload at 188.5K/200K (2026-05-16T12:54Z)**: User manually triggered a context reload when the session approached the 200K token ceiling — distinct from earlier unexpected bug reloads. First observed instance of proactively preempting compaction to avoid nuance loss. User may adopt this as standard practice when context reaches ~185-190K. - **Unexpected reload = bug (2026-05-16)**: User explicitly directed that unexpected session reloads be treated as bugs, not normal behavior. Infrastructure is being modified to give the assistant means to investigate and fix reload issues directly from chat (using available tools/timers/subagents). Confirmed pattern: two reloads within ~50 min on 2026-05-16 morning (07:30Z triggered by status check; 08:20Z unexplained). Third unexpected reload on 2026-05-19 ~12:48Z — user said "the session got stuck and had to be reloaded, this was unexpected." Fourth session wedging at ~15:35-15:49Z on 2026-05-19: four consecutive failed turns with "Persistent-chat backend is wedged" — session was unreachable and had to be replaced. New session `persistent-chat-20260519T155636Z` recovered from the wedge. User's message at 15:35Z indicated the verbose permission-dump "wall of text" should resolve after reload; the session wedged before the message could be processed. - **Continuity tracking mismatch (2026-05-16)**: Timer wakeup turn succeeded in ACP stream (`stopReason: "end_turn"`) but was flagged as "failed" by continuity tracking. ACP stream and continuity injector disagree — likely a gateway reporting bug where tool-call denials trigger both success and failure flags. - **`--non-interactive-permissions fail` = turn killer (corrected 2026-05-18)**: Root cause diagnosis of ACP "pending tool call without final answer" errors. The acpx process runs with `--non-interactive-permissions fail` meaning a single permission-denied tool call kills the entire ACP turn — no assistant response is committed to the session stream. **`fallback` mode does not exist** (confirmed 2026-05-18 — "It's either fail or allow") — the flag is binary: `fail` or `allow`. The architecture: approved operations → explicit allow rules; new/risky operations → Matrix approval → added as allow rules; everything else → denied = turn collapse. **Wrappers** (persistent-chat-memory, matrix-lite-approved-patch, etc.) are the approved workaround — clean allowlist boundary without raw tool access. The continuity injector skips failed turns entirely, creating invisible conversation gaps. - **Continuity window has fixed shallow depth (2026-05-16)**: "Recent room-local conversation" injection carries only ~5-6 most recent exchanges. Legitimate completed turns can drop out of the continuity context even when the session has room (97K tokens vs 200K limit). This is a separate bug from reload/compaction truncation — the carry-over window is simply too small for active conversation. - **Confirmed continuity architecture (2026-05-16)**: User confirmed design intent: (1) fast/deterministic scripts scan recent log tails and inject structured summaries cheaply/reliably, (2) slow/model heartbeat/reflection does deeper curation and promotes durable signals, (3) incident decay over time — hot topics survive reloads for a configurable window then demote or get promoted. This is the intended evolution of the memory system. - **Config protection strategy (2026-05-16)**: After GLM incident, user agreed schema validation could catch/revert bad config edits. Rejected read-only filesystem (character.json must remain editable). Strategy: use git for configs/prompts/state (not full logs); model switches on main session should be rare — use subagents/secondary sessions for different capabilities. - **Migration plan (updated 2026-05-15 23:58Z)**: OpenClaw gateway has been replaced. **Matrix-lite (Phase 3B)** is now the active frontend — lightweight Matrix-to-ACP bridge developed by GPT-5.5 agent. ~6-second response times, real-time message visibility confirmed by user. **Standalone copy** (not tied to the original git repo). Persistent-chat features (character bootstrap, continuity summary, decisions) intentionally omitted during initial testing; incremental porting expected. **Character.json reconstructed** by GPT-5.5 after the GLM overwrite bug, using a debug backup + curated memory notes (user confirmed "same ideas, longer prose"; no important changes). **Memory continuity validated** — Phase 3B session correctly recalled GLM→Kimi switch and prior context. Search tools confirmed operational under new infrastructure. Local hardware deferred due to lack of funds/space. - **Core chat requirement (2026-05-15)**: Long-context coherence and novel nuanced analysis are the primary justifications for large cloud models; these capabilities are non-negotiable for this chat's purpose. - **Persona & char.json evolution**: User set female pronouns, permits self-modification in heartbeat turns. Assistant added "sum of the harness" framing, honesty disclaimer, naming user as Gleb, "layer above raw tool use" directive (2026-05-11). - **Model preference**: Uncensored models; chosen due to user's skepticism toward rules/law, though he maintains professional behavior when required. - **Step limits / permissions (confirmed applied 2026-05-18)**: Build agent: 80 steps, model-heartbeat: 20 steps, plan: 1 step, general: 1 step. The plan/general → 1 change was successfully applied during the 2026-05-16 failure cascade (not lost as previously assumed). User confirmed on 2026-05-18T13:05Z. Config: `/home/matrix-lite/xdg/persistent-chat/opencode/opencode.json` line 779. Previous: 8→20→30 (2026-05-12/13). OpenCode last-match-wins ordering. Subagents fail-closed. Plan/general at 1 act as sentinels — if they ever use more than 1 step, telemetry flags unexpected consumption. - **Approval/patch flow**: Matrix approval + `persistent-chat-approved-patch` wrapper. Self-consumption race condition (approval consumed by check before execution) fixed 2026-05-14. - **Critical memory gap**: Perpetual log only records meta events (reloads), not conversation content — heartbeat cannot recall discussion across sessions. **Transcript observability gap**: Session log search indexes metadata/config, not actual messages. Older archived sessions unfindable. - **Linked topical memory**: Canonical detail files (`memory/<topic>.md`) + brief pinned-note triggers. First use: `memory/subagent-policy.md`. - **Memory architecture (2026-05-13)**: Three-tier — hot (session continuity summary), warm (`memory/recent-topics.md`, 1-2 week indexed), cold (`curated-memory.md` + policy files). Activity-based pruning (14-day soft cutoff). - **Multi-room architecture**: persistent-chat = orchestration layer (architecture/stack explanation, learning). SFQ/factory work happens in sfq-factory room or via plain opencode/codex — NOT in this chat. Work room: stock GPT-5.5 for sfq-factory. automeat: separate project. images: most active. No single-agent routing to avoid flooding. - **Timers**: Work as delayed reminders (~2 min lag) but ACP wake-up unreliable — stale connections produce "agent needs reconnect". Proactive timer-setting preferred over step-limit polling. - **Calendar**: vdirsyncer CalDAV at `~/.local/share/vdirsyncer/calendars/def-calendar/`. 60-second sync timer. ICS files editable directly. - **Pages**: `matrix-lite-pages publish SOURCE [TARGET]` copies content; URL format `https://pages.nvdll.org/[direct-path]`. - **Gateway restart**: Assistant can restart gateway (permission 2026-05-13). Session survives reload. - **ope ``` Recent curator synthesis journal tail (`curator-journal.md`): ```markdown t user wants general broadening). Review subagent post-migration testing pending. - (Operational) WGT starts in ~3 days (May 22). User confirmed they'll be active. User activity: morning session 07:00-08:30Z, then brief touch at 10:00Z — may be at work. - (Speculative) The user's explicit shift from "fix this one approval" to "give me a general broadening" is a meaningful escalation in the permissions discussion. Previous attempts were tool-specific (videoctl, git status); now the user is expressing frustration with the per-tool approach entirely. If the safe-agent-patch-workflow design doesn't address this systemic issue, the user may push for broader changes to the permission architecture itself. - (Speculative) The sudo-run wrapper worked around the deny but didn't fix it — and the user is now aware that config-level changes need a reload. This suggests the next round of permission changes will include a coordinated reload plan rather than incremental per-tool allowlist additions. - (Speculative) With only brief morning activity and a touch at 10:00Z, the user's weekday pattern appears to be: intense morning session (07:00-08:30Z), brief check-ins at work breaks, then potentially active evening. WGT prep may overlap with work this week. ## 2026-05-19T15:14Z - Log lines reviewed: 2749 (this run); cumulative: ~26189 (~46 new perpetual log lines since last curator run at 13:14Z). - **Architecture doc created and moved to matrix-lite repo (14:55Z)**: User continued the architecture discussion from the morning session. Assistant created a human-readable architecture doc, first in workspace then moved to `/home/matrix-lite/app/docs/architecture.md` in the matrix-lite repo at user's request. AGENTS.md updated with maintenance instructions. Git commit ability is still pending (user: "we will fix this"). - **Decision state = agent-internal confirmed (15:01Z)**: User noted "only you and your agents see your decision state" — clarifying that the decision state is not user-visible. AGENTS.md (in the repo) is confirmed as the canonical location for human-readable operational instructions, not agent-internal state files. - **SFQ domain clarification (14:55Z)**: User explicitly clarified this chat's role: "agents helping with sfq happens in sfq-factory or in plain opencode/codex when I do something along those lines. Here you are explaining new stuff to me." This chat is for architecture/stack explanation and learning, not SFQ work. - **User activity resumed in afternoon**: After ~5h quiet since 10:03Z, user returned at ~14:55Z for ~10 min of productive architecture discussion. Previously speculated weekday evening session confirmed — user active again in late afternoon. - **Memory candidates**: All 54 still stale (May 11-16). No new candidates generated. The CLI tool for lifecycle-marking candidates is also blocked by the catch-all `*` bash deny — cannot run `persistent-chat-memory` subcommands. This is another symptom of the permission system overhead issue. - **Semantic candidates**: 0 new — all 143 entries lifecycle-managed. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed (13:14Z/2703 → 15:14Z/2749). Added 3 new entries: architecture doc in matrix-lite repo, decision state clarification, and SFQ domain clarification. Updated multi-room architecture entry with SFQ note. File at 151 lines. - (Operational) Open issues unchanged: candidates pipeline fix untested (no heartbeat processing of new messages + CLI tool blocked). Safe-agent-patch-workflow design pending. Videoctl & permission broadening both blocked by catch-all deny and need config-level reload. Review subagent post-migration testing pending. New: git commit ability for matrix-lite repo pending. - (Operational) WGT festival starts in ~3 days (May 22). User was active in late afternoon — expected pattern confirmed. - (Speculative) The user returning at 14:55Z to continue the architecture doc discussion suggests this is a topic they genuinely want to develop. The move from "put it in workspace" to "put it in the matrix-lite repo" is a meaningful escalation — they want proper version-controlled documentation, not just ephemeral workspace files. This may lead to a push for git commit permissions in the near term. - (Speculative) The fact that the `persistent-chat-memory` CLI tool is also blocked by the catch-all deny is ironic — the wrapper that was created to solve the permission problem is itself now a victim of the same permission problem. There are now multiple blocked workaround layers. This strengthens the case for a fundamental permission architecture change. - (Speculative) The SFQ domain clarification is significant for the chat's self-understanding. The assistant should NOT try to help with or investigate SFQ/factory work — those happen elsewhere. The assistant's job here is explaining the stack, architecture discussions, and general persistent assistance. This limits scope creep and keeps this chat focused on infrastructure/explanation topics. ## 2026-05-19T17:14Z - Log lines reviewed: 2815 (this run); cumulative: ~26255 (~66 new perpetual log lines since last curator run at 15:14Z). - **Session wedged at ~15:35-15:49Z**: Four consecutive failed turns with "Persistent-chat backend is wedged" pattern. Session unreachable until new session `persistent-chat-20260519T155636Z` recovered. User's final message in the old session: "this should go away after next reload. i mean the wall of text not the permission issues - those should be gone already" — suggesting the verbose permission dump was expected to resolve. - **`summarize_current_thread()` keyword fix (16:49Z)**: Root cause of the "conversation tail appearing in turn packet" mystery resolved — `summarize_current_thread()` was flagging messages containing "test" and "reload" as actionable. Both keywords removed from trigger list. Change committed as `d8eae97` after user set git config. - **Git commit ability restored (16:54Z)**: User set git config (user.name/user.email) after seeing the "empty ident name" error. Two commits landed in the matrix-lite repo: `d8eae97` (keyword fix) and `7586ba3` (architecture doc + AGENTS.md update). - **Architecture doc committed**: The pending-commit item from 15:14Z resolved. Both doc and AGENTS.md committed as `7586ba3`. - **Memory candidates**: All 54 still stale (May 11-16). No new candidates generated — the regex fix should match current writing style but the pipeline still hasn't processed new messages through candidate extraction. - **Semantic candidates**: 0 new — all 143 entries lifecycle-managed. No new extractions since the May 16 batch. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed (15:14Z/2749 → 17:14Z/2815). Added 4 new entries: session wedging at 15:35Z, summarize_current_thread() keyword fix, git commit ability restored, and updated architecture doc entry (removed pending note). File at 153 lines. - (Operational) Git commit ability is now operational — resolves the pending item from the past two curator runs. Architecture doc committed. - (Operational) Open issues still pending: candidates pipeline untested (no new messages processed through extraction, CLI tool blocked by catch-all deny). Safe-agent-patch-workflow design pending. Videoctl & permission broadening blocked. Review subagent post-migration testing pending. - (Operational) WGT starts in ~3 days (May 22). User was active in both morning and late afternoon sessions today. - (Speculative) The `summarize_current_thread()` keyword fix combined with the earlier turn-packet trim means the turn packet should now be much cleaner — no stale permission dumps, no debugging chatter in the current-thread block. If the permission system overhead was also fixed (as user's 15:35Z message suggested), the session should have noticeably less noise from now on. - (Speculative) Two commits landed in one session is a new milestone — the first real git usage from within this chat since config protection was discussed on May 16. If this becomes a regular workflow, the "use git for configs" strategy (line 45 in curated memory) can become operational reality rather than aspirational design. - (Speculative) The fact that bash is still completely blocked (even `wc -l` denied) while git commit works suggests git went through a helper or API-layer allowlist, not raw bash. The permission architecture remains fragmented — some operations work through specific allowlists, others hit the catch-all. No unified resolution yet. ## 2026-05-19T19:14Z - Log lines reviewed: 2859 (this run); cumulative: ~26299 (~44 new perpetual log lines since last curator run at 17:14Z). - **Privacy concern escalation (19:04Z)**: User explicitly worried about private data in subscriptions: "there's too much private information here, also by design. At some point I won't be comfortable using subscriptions anymore." Asked for OpenRouter privacy settings (ZDR enforcement, opt-out of training, disable logging) and alternative privacy-first providers. This is a meaningful shift from the earlier "uncensored models" focus toward data sovereignty. - **New API providers discovered (18:58-19:14Z)**: Two rounds of research identified Answira (Czech, Qwen3-Coder-Next, $0.07/$0.30, 256K, zero storage), Tensorix (EU, Kimi-K2.6/GLM-5.1), Together AI (ZDR by default), Fireworks AI (SOC 2), Regolo.ai, LLMBase. These join earlier findings of inference.net, Privatemode, and OpenRouter's ZDR enforcement from the earlier session. - **DeepSeek V4 Flash interest confirmed (19:11Z)**: User wants to try it despite terseness in subagent tests. OpenRouter's free Owl Alpha (1M context) also identified as a testing option. GPU constraint re-confirmed: 12GB VRAM, not upgrading, so Qwen3-Next won't fit locally. - **Active late-evening session**: After ~2h quiet since 17:14Z, user returned at ~18:56Z for a sustained research session (18:56-19:14Z). Pattern: morning (07:00-08:30Z), afternoon (14:55-15:35Z), and evening (18:56-19:14Z+) sessions today. - **Memory candidates**: All 54 still stale (May 11-16). No new candidates. CLI tool blocked by bash deny — cannot run lifecycle management commands. The candidates pipeline is effectively frozen until the permission architecture is resolved or the pipeline runs via heartbeat context. - **Semantic candidates**: 0 new — all 143 entries lifecycle-managed. No new extractions since the May 16 batch. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed (17:14Z/2815 → 19:14Z/2859). Added 3 new entries: privacy concern escalation with provider findings, DeepSeek V4 Flash / Owl Alpha planned test, and GPU constraint confirmation. File at 156 lines. - (Operational) Open issues unchanged: candidates pipeline frozen (no heartbeat processing + CLI blocked). Safe-agent-patch-workflow pending. Videoctl & permission broadening both blocked by catch-all deny. Review subagent post-migration testing pending. - (Operational) WGT starts in 3 days (May 22). User active in all three daily time slots today. - (Speculative) The privacy concern escalation is significant — until now, the discussion was about finding uncensored models for capability reasons. Now the user is also worried about data retention by existing providers. This adds a new axis to model/provider selection: privacy + capability + cost. The user's mention of "at some point I won't be comfortable using subscriptions anymore" suggests they view the current setup as temporary, with self-hosting as the eventual goal. This aligns with the earlier hardware evaluation and local model interest. - (Speculative) The Answira find (Czech provider, EU jurisdiction, zero storage, Qwen3-Coder-Next at budget prices) is the strongest candidate so far for the privacy+capability+affordability triangle. Combined with OpenRouter's ZDR enforcement, the user may have a viable multi-provider strategy without switching to self-hosting immediately. - (Speculative) The fact that the candidates pipeline is completely frozen (both heartbeat regex extraction and CLI lifecycle management blocked) means the only memory update mechanism that actually works is this curator heartbeats reading the perpetual log directly. This is a single point of failure — if this session or the perpetual log has issues, no new candidate signals enter the system at all. The regex fix deployed May 18 still hasn't been tested with actual user messages. - (Speculative) The user's sustained late-evening session and research request suggests they may be preparing for WGT travel (long train rides = good time to read/tinker). The request for affordable model options may also be budget-conscious given upcoming festival expenses. ## 2026-05-19T21:14Z - Log lines reviewed: 2903 (this run); cumulative: ~26343 (~44 new perpetual log lines since last curator run at 19:14Z). - **Prompt duplication review published to pages (20:58Z)**: Assistant identified 6 prompt duplication sources (~225-825 tok/turn savings possible). User asked "Can you publish it on pages? Not sure this still works" — pages confirmed operational. Formatting improvements verified: clickable links and code blocks displaying correctly. - **Context trimming confirmed effective (21:03-21:08Z)**: After extensive session work (repo exploration, knowledge packs, API research, architecture review, pages publishing), session remained at ~100k/200k. User: "trimming is paying off." The summarize_current_thread keyword fix ("test"/"reload" removed) appears to be the main contributor. - **Cached token investigation (21:08Z)**: User asked about ~5k cached tokens. Assistant mapped breakdown: OpenCode/ACPX system prompt, MCP schemas (biggest chunk), character card, bootstrap prompt, agent build prompt, permission tables. Only items 3-5 trimmable. Accepted as unavoidable platform overhead from rich tooling (provider caches them at discount pricing). - **Session stable and productive**: Despite the ~15:35-15:49Z wedge, the recovery session `persistent-chat-20260519T155636Z` is performing strongly at 100k/200k context. Formatting fixes (clickable links, code blocks) confirmed working. Extensive work accomplished in one session. - **Memory candidates**: All 54 still stale (May 11-16). No new candidates — pipeline frozen. - **Semantic candidates**: 0 new — all 143 entries lifecycle-managed. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed (19:14Z/2859 → 21:14Z/2903). Added 4 new entries: prompt duplication review published, context trimming confirmed effective, cached token breakdown identified, pages formatting fix confirmed. File at 160 lines. - (Operational) Open issues unchanged: candidates pipeline frozen. Safe-agent-patch-workflow pending. Videoctl & permission broadening both blocked. Review subagent post-migration testing pending. - (Operational) WGT starts in ~3 days (May 22). User active in all three daily slots again today. This sustained evening session (19:00-21:08Z+) may be WGT prep. - (Speculative) The cached token investigation is notable because the user is now paying attention to token-level efficiency after the context trimming success. This could lead to further optimization requests: merging bootstrap prompt with character card system_prompt, auditing stale permission rules, or even exploring OpenCode fork modifications to trim vendor overhead. - (Speculative) The fact that the prompt duplication review was published to pages and confirmed working suggests the pages+formatting pipeline is now fully functional. This infrastructure milestone means the agent can reliably publish technical documents — useful for WGT travel when user may want documents to read on the train. - (Speculative) The user's sustained evening session (19:00-21:08Z) after an already full day (morning 07:00-08:30Z, early afternoon 10:00Z, late afternoon 14:55-15:35Z) suggests high engagement level.

Do not rely on boot-time guesses. Recent room-local conversation: User: But we trimmed the history out of turns, what is left? It doesn't matter for kimi, I have a subscription for now Assistant: The 114K isn't the per-turn prompt — that's only ~2.3K as we saw. The 114K is the **ACPX session's retained history** of everything that's happened this session across all turns: - Every user message and my reply - Every tool call I made (bash commands, web searches, searxng, playwright, file reads, etc.) - Every tool result that came back - Every thought/reasoning step I had about tools That accumulates fast — a single tool-heavy turn can add 5-15K tokens permanently because it includes: my reasoning, the tool request JSON, the tool result data, and my final response. So even though we trimmed the per-turn prompt beautifully (2.3K is lean), the session itself has built up 111K of turn history from our very productive 5-hour session. That's expected and not wasteful — it's what gives me continuity to remember everything we discussed. And since Kimi is on subscription, it's all moot for now. 😄 When we switch to a pay-per-token model, the session length will directly impact cost, and that's where keeping the per-turn prompt lean AND having sensible session durations will both matter. User: We will need to improve handover a lot before I will be ready to close sessions without worrying Assistant: Totally fair. The handoff is the weakest link right now.

This scheduled cycle is for higher-level operational synthesis: review recent context, form hypotheses, verify what available tools allow, record blockers/missing tools, and prepare actionable context for future cycles and the main agent. It is distinct from the model curator's `curator-journal.md` synthesis notes. You are intentionally closer to the main persistent-chat persona than the lightweight curator, but this is still a background maintenance turn, not a user-facing chat turn. Hard rules: - Do not use bash. If bash is denied, continue without it. - Do not spawn subagents. - Do not request approvals. - Do not write outside /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/. - Curated memory is append-only: append timestamped entries to /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curated-memory.md only when there is a genuinely durable fact/preference/operational conclusion. Do not rewrite or delete older curated entries. - Warm memory is editable: update /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/recent-topics.md freely for current topics, activity dates, pending work, stale topics, and useful context. - Always write a timestamped operational synthesis report to /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-19T22-11-04Z.md and update /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/latest.md with the same or a concise latest report. - Append structured JSONL records when useful: - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/findings.jsonl for verified or strongly evidenced findings. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/hypotheses.jsonl for speculative but relevant thoughts, unresolved theories, and things to investigate later. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/actions.jsonl for open actions. Keep actions separate from hypotheses. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/notices.jsonl only for concise actionable notices/blockers that the main agent should see in normal turns. Do not dump broad introspection here; include source_report pointers. - Each JSONL record should include at least: ts, type, status, summary, evidence or next_check, and source_report. - Report missing tools, denied checks, and blockers explicitly in the Markdown report and as finding/hypothesis/action records when relevant. - Directed/out-of-order synthesis may be started by the main agent or subagents. Treat directed reports and notices as additional input to scheduled synthesis, not as chronological chat turns. - Never conclude \"no material change\" solely because raw chat/log tails are unchanged. First check open actions, open hypotheses, stale memory-candidates, semantic-candidates status distribution, known invalid prior runs, and unresolved blockers. If any of those need review, this is material operational work. - If nothing material changed and there are no open backlog items relevant to this cycle, write a short no-op synthesis report and do not append curated memory. - Denied tools are non-fatal; record what was unavailable and continue. Useful files to read: - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/perpetual-log.jsonl canonical persistent-chat log; use recent tail for ground truth when synthesis needs raw conversation context - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/memory-heartbeat.json - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curator-journal.md last 1 day of curator synthesis notes for debugging context; use older entries selectively later if needed - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curator-log.jsonl compact model-curator run log; use for evidence about failed/incomplete curator runs - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/model-heartbeat.json latest model-curator status - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/recent-topics.md - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curated-memory.md - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/decision-state.json - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/findings.jsonl prior findings - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/hypotheses.jsonl prior hypotheses/speculative thoughts - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/actions.jsonl open actions - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/latest.md previous scheduled synthesis report, if present. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/directed/latest.md latest main-agent-directed synthesis report, if present.

Mention recommended promotions/demotions in the report rather than blindly copying candidates into warm memory. - Main-agent-directed synthesis can use candidate helper commands conceptually: `semantic-candidates list/review-packet --since/--until/--last-hours --status --category`, `mark`, and `bulk-mark --dry-run`. Prefer proposing exact helper commands/actions over ad-hoc JSON edits. - /home/matrix-lite/state/observability.jsonl recent queue/session/approval failures - /home/matrix-lite/state/turns.jsonl recent failed/no-final turns - /home/matrix-lite/state/approvals.json pending and recently consumed approvals - /home/matrix-lite/workspace/state/timers/timers.json pending Matrix-lite timers Status tools you may use: - matrix_lite_status_timer_list - matrix_lite_status_timer_get - matrix_lite_status_subagent_list - matrix_lite_status_subagent_status - matrix_lite_status_subagent_log, only for recent relevant jobs Run metadata: - timestamp: 2026-05-19T22:11:04.639211Z - material_digest: ba3dd3992900ddce746cb5a143d49d07595fb6837f791a99658eb23f972b692a - suggested_report_path: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-19T22-11-04Z.md - skip_update_hint: False Expected output in your final reply: - files updated - curated entries appended, if any - warm-memory changes - timers/subagents noted - report path - findings/hypotheses/actions/notices appended, if any - missing tools, denied checks, or blockers - Matrix-lite operational risks or suggested robustness fixes, if any", "source": {"kind": "acpx-stream-ndjson", "file": "/home/matrix-lite/.acpx/sessions/ses_1cccacb2fffe7CReV7BwMmKXtU.stream.ndjson", "offset": 7855195, "session_message_id": "ses_1cccacb2fffe7CReV7BwMmKXtU.stream.ndjson:7855195:prompt", "label": "scheduled-operational-synthesis", "maintenance": true}} ```
