[Scheduled persistent-chat operational synthesis turn] You are a restricted operational synthesis worker for the persistent-chat agent. 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/2026-05-18T10-11-20Z.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. Treat it as likely carrying user/main-agent intent and incorporate unresolved findings/actions into scheduled synthesis. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/directed/index.json compact index/tail of recent directed reports, including out-of-order tasks from main agent/subagents. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/notices.jsonl concise actionable notices for main-agent normal-turn injection; write here for blockers or tasks the main agent should see soon. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/memory-candidates.jsonl - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/semantic-memory.json trusted high-precision explicit memory - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/semantic-candidates.jsonl broad lower-confidence user-signal candidates for review; do not treat as facts until promoted - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/restore-packet.json Semantic candidate lifecycle: - Operational synthesis may identify semantic-candidates that look useful/noisy/stale, but the model heartbeat/curator owns status transitions. - Treat semantic-candidates.jsonl as review material, not fact memory. 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: 2026-05-18T10:11:20.935616Z - material_digest: 0aaba7221bce02d9a5d56db0290fb0258be0e3b6c76118d84e684d48d3ca04c3 - suggested_report_path: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T10-11-20Z.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


## Operational Synthesis Complete — 2026-05-18T10:11:20Z ### Files Updated | File | Change | |------|--------| | `reports/2026-05-18T10-11-20Z.md` | Full report (written) | | `latest.md` | Updated with resolved/still-open summary | | `recent-topics.md` | Warm memory updated — heartbeat blocker resolved, morning session added | | `findings.jsonl` | Heartbeat script blocker finding marked `resolved` | | `actions.jsonl` | A4 (heartbeat edit) and A6 (timer cleanup) marked `resolved` | | `notices.jsonl` | Replaced with 4 current entries (blocker resolved, step limit, candidates gap, reload protocol) | ### Resolved Since Last Report - ✅ **Heartbeat script edit** — user applied fixes manually. No longer blocked. - ✅ **Both overdue approval timers** cleared (0 pending). - ✅ **Reload protocol** formally established with safe artifact edit paths. - ✅ **Productive morning session** with script verification and new workflows. ### Still Open - ⚠ Step limit change (plan/general → 1) pending since May 16 failure cascade - ⚠ Candidates pipeline gap (no new candidates since May 16, 21 stale) - ⚠ Read permission gap for state files - ⚠ Stale candidates cleanup pending ### Timers/Subagents - **0 pending timers** (both old overdue timers cleared) - **0 active subagents** ### Curated Memory - **No append needed** — curator already captured morning session outcomes at 07:11Z (4 entries: script fixes, safe edit paths, reload protocol, patch workflow). ### Blockers - **Read tool still denied** for `/home/matrix-lite/state/{observability,timers,approvals,turns}.*` — unresolved, low priority. ### Report Path `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T10-11-20Z.md`


Decision noted: Investigate persistent-chat session-start and hidden prompt overhead — active: Measure why live ACPX input/context usage is much higher than visible turn packet estimates. Break down session-start packet, character/bootstrap, manifest, MCP/tool/system overhead, provider/OpenCode retained context, and any components Matrix-lite does not directly control.

Let me dig into what happened today and the earlier session context.


Now I have a good picture of what's been happening. Let me check one more thing about the runtime debug state.


Here's what I can piece together from the session logs, memory, and operational reports: ## What I remember from our earlier session today (~07:00-07:11Z) This morning we had a productive session where: 1. **You manually fixed the heartbeat script** — the curator prompt enhancement (loading `decision-state.json` and `recent-failures.json`) that had been blocked by permissions for ~2 days was finally applied 2. **Reflection script paths/tool names verified** — everything checked out 3. **Reload protocol established** — on ~95% context: (1) note-reload-handoff, (2) decide curation, (3) update source artifacts via helpers 4. **Safe edit paths confirmed** — agents edit source artifacts, not generated packets 5. **New decision thread** — "safe-agent-patch-workflow" added ## The breakage pattern What's been happening since then: - Multiple turns failing with "ACPX completed without a final assistant message" — the same **`--non-interactive-permissions fail`** issue from May 16 that we identified before. That flag is *still set* in the current acpx command (confirmed from the runtime report). When a single permission-denied tool call happens, it kills the entire turn silently instead of letting the model recover. - An unexpected reload happened (session ID changed), which is the pattern you previously flagged as a bug. - The context is now fresh (~26K tokens) on a newly loaded session. **In short**: The root cause we diagnosed before — `--non-interactive-permissions fail` killing turns on any permission hiccup — still isn't switched to `fallback`. That's likely what caused the cascade today.

Ah, that makes sense. Let me check what the current permission setup actually looks like.


You're right, I was wrong about `fallback` — it's not an option. The flag is binary: anything not explicitly allowed gets denied, and with `fail` that kills the turn. No interactive "ask" path exists in non-interactive mode. So the architecture is: - **Approved operations** → explicit allow rules in the permission config (wrappers like `persistent-chat-memory`, `matrix-lite-approved-patch`, etc.) - **New/risky operations** → Matrix approval flow → once approved, added as allow rules - **Everything else** → denied, and with `--non-interactive-permissions fail`, that means the turn collapses The wrappers *are* the workaround — they give you a clean allowlist boundary for operations you've vetted, without opening up raw tool access broadly. That aligns with what I see in the permission report: the bash allowlist has ~494 allowed patterns (mostly specific scripts) and a blanket `*` deny, while edit/write have targeted path allowlists. Makes sense. So the breakage pattern was the same as before — a turn hit something not in the allowlist, got denied, and the whole thing fell over silently until the next reload cleared it.


Noted — I'll be more careful. What specifically triggered it? Was it something in my tool usage (like the session log searches/large file loads), or something else I did earlier in the morning session that stepped on the live connection? Want to make sure I understand the boundary so I don't repeat it.


I don't have that specific exchange in my indexed memory — it was likely in the session window that got lost to the unexpected reload. But I can see the trace: Your queued message from May 17 was *"Hmm I hope this doesn't break anything but in any case you should be able to edit those"* — that was when agents were working on the acpx timeout fix, and you were warning them to be careful with the live session. Sounds like the agents didn't handle it carefully, stepped on something they shouldn't have, and the session got reloaded as a result. That explains the breakage pattern — not a permission-deny kill, but a botched live-session interaction by the timeout-fixing agents causing a forced reload, which then cascaded into the turn failures I was seeing.

I don't have the exact message text in accessible session files — the old session data was cleaned up. But based on the synthesis records, the sequence was: 1. **~23:12Z May 17** — last message before overnight silence (likely wrapping up the memory refactoring discussion) 2. **Overnight** — agents were working on the acpx timeout fix 3. **~07:00Z May 18** — morning session started, but this was already in the *new* reloaded session So your last message in the *old* session (before the agent-caused reload) was from around 23:12 on May 17. Without the archived session stream I can't quote it verbatim, but it would have been from our conversation about the memory refactoring and the "unified packet structure" that you said was working well.

Put only user-visible answer text inside <matrix_lite_final>...</matrix_lite_final>. - Use the live capability context above as the source of truth for current debug/capability tools; call capability/permission/context MCP tools when uncertain instead of relying on stale boot knowledge. - If permission is needed or a bridge denies a tool, emit the structured Matrix-lite approval tag from your stable prompt; do not only describe approval in prose. - If recent incomplete/failed turns mention an unhandled user intent, address it now before moving on. - Use attachment/reply metadata when present; otherwise ignore empty metadata sections. - Do not mention internal Matrix-lite metadata unless the user asks.

Let me check the session right before this current one.


You're right, I was mixing up reloads. Let me trace through what I found. In the session right before this one started, after the morning session (~07:00-07:11Z), your **last meaningful messages** before things broke down were: 1. *"Hmm can you investigate and see if we can do something about timeout or context limit? It would be better if you keep working without getting stuck. Also, how would you then process it on reload if it's already failing?"* 2. Then: *"Hmm I think timeout is 3 minutes"* Both got the "⚠ Matrix-lite did not receive a final answer" failure. Then came "Test test" and "test test" repeats — also all failing — before agents started working on the timeout fix, which then caused the reload that landed us here.
