Let me start by reading the current state files to inform decisions.


Now I have a clear picture. Let me analyze what's changed since the last curator run at 21:11Z: **New durable signals from the perpetual log tail (21:23Z–22:32Z):** 1. Turn packet successfully trimmed — user requested verification, assistant confirmed working 2. User encouraged proactive prompt improvement suggestions ("Let me know if you see junk...") 3. DeepSeek V4 1M context via OpenRouter mentioned as a future plan 4. Scheduled operational synthesis ran at 22:27Z (no new findings beyond what's already in curated memory) **Candidate files**: All lifecycle-managed — zero new entries in either memory-candidates or semantic-candidates. Gap persists. Let me update curated-memory.md with the new durable signals and append the curator journal entry.


Now let me append the curator journal entry. Let me see the tail of the file first:


Now let me verify the curated-memory.md looks correct:


Let me verify the curator journal append worked:


UPDATED — curated-memory.md updated with 3 new entries (turn packet trim, DeepSeek V4 plan, proactive prompt feedback scope), 113 lines under the 120-line target; curator journal appended with full reflection at 632 lines.
