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: - If Focus is non-empty, prioritize that review while preserving all safety 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. - Preserve curated-memory.md content. Do not broadly rewrite, summarize, delete, or compact it; make only targeted additions/metadata edits. If major compaction seems needed, propose it in curator-journal.md instead of applying it. - 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 resolution protocol (2026-05-21, updated ~20:24Z)**: **Do not hardcode current model or context size in curated memory** — models switch frequently and stale entries cause confusion. Instead, always read `Current model:` from the **session packet** (`/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/session-packet.md`, search for "Current model:") or the bootstrap packet injected on session start. Session packet is generated at reload time and is authoritative. Current model as of this edit: **Kimi K2.6** (`kimi-for-coding/k2p6`), 262,144 tokens — but verify live. DeepSeek V4 Flash with 1M context was active earlier today (~04:13Z–17:11Z). Background maintenance sessions also use Kimi K2.6 via subscription. Model history: Kimi K2.6 → GLM-5.1 nanoGPT → Kimi K2.6/big-pickle confusion → DeepSeek V4 Flash → Kimi K2.6. - **Session model identity confusion (discovered 2026-05-20 ~00:18Z)**: The May 19 evening session was actually running on `opencode/big-pickle`, not Kimi K2.6. User noticed by different emoji style ("something was off by the emojis") and confirmed "big pickle probably came with the new backend after the earlier wedges." Big-pickle traits observed: long/structured responses with tables/code/analysis, liberal emoji use, rate-limited under sustained heavy tool use, degradation after ~110K context. This explains the earlier identification as "the new backend" during the permission dump/403 debugging. - **Persistent assistant vision: always-on background agent (2026-05-22)**: User explicitly stated the assistant should be "always on" — not just reactive to user messages. Heartbeat/curation should continue during user absence. Future direction: curator does autonomous work (synthesis findings, monitoring, other background tasks) beyond just processing user conversation. Goal is proactive background agent, not merely a reactive chatbot. Finding productive work beyond personal data processing is an ongoing exploration. - **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. - **Prompt cache fix deployed and working (2026-05-21)**: Root cause identified ~10:08Z — dynamic timestamps at top of turn-packet.md and memory-heartbeat.json shifted prompt prefix every turn, defeating caching (~84% fresh tokens). Fix applied: moved dynamic content to end. Result: **99.6% cache hit achieved by 15:04Z** — only ~1.5k fresh tokens per turn (down from ~350k fresh). Represents ~250x improvement in fresh token overhead. Makes the current 256K context window very comfortable; previously would have burned ~350K/turn even with 1M window. - **Curated-memory.md corrupted and recovered (2026-05-21 ~12:46Z)**: Operational synthesis turn accidentally overwrote curated-memory.md with its own prompt text (82 lines). File restored from explicit memories, pinned notes, and recent operational facts. Reconstructed file dropped from 168 to 70 lines; all durable facts preserved but some archival detail lost. Hardening needed: synthesis prompts should not include curated-memory.md as writable target. - **Kimi maintenance session switch (2026-05-21 ~13:02Z)**: ACPX `set model` switched maintenance/heartbeat sessions to Kimi K2.6 for post-fix smoke verification. Config mismatch noted: opencode.json still listed DeepSeek V4 Flash while live ACPX session reported Kimi. Session-level model overrides may not persist to config. - **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. - **Git-verify-before-attribution protocol (2026-05-21)**: When user reports a fix/change in repos, matrix-lite, or daemon code, or when discussing what was recently patched, check `git log --oneline -5` and `git diff` / `git status` before attributing causes or claiming knowledge of what changed. Do not assume the most recently discussed bug is the one that was fixed. Apply proactively — not just when asked to verify. - **Awareness-first for internal operations (2026-05-21)**: When discussing matrix-lite, daemon, or internal infrastructure, always check current state via available tools (Read, git status, config inspection) before stating facts or making assumptions. Do not rely on memory of prior discussions about what might be broken or what was recently fixed — the ground truth is in files, logs, and session packets. Subagents are fine when available, but the main assistant must stay aware and verify claims about daemon behavior, config state, and session mechanics directly. - **Authoritative source verification (2026-05-21 ~20:53Z)**: User explicitly directed that claims about internal operations, model behavior, or config state must come from authoritative sources (session packets, git history, live config files) rather than model memory or assumptions. Reinforces awareness-first and git-verify protocols. - **Log search protocol (2026-05-21)**: For searching large log files (`model-conversation-log.jsonl`, `perpetual-log.jsonl`, session stream NDJSON), prefer `rg` (ripgrep) via bash over the Grep tool. `rg` handles large files and JSONL better. `jq` is similarly preferred for structured JSON log filtering. Both are in the bash allowlist and are standard tools used by subagents. - **Check existing infrastructure first (2026-05-22)**: Before proposing new tools, permissions, or workflows, verify if existing infrastructure already covers the need. Examples: `matrix-lite-safe-git` wrapper exists for git operations ( `/home/matrix-lite/bin/matrix-lite-safe-git` ), `matrix-lite-sync-repo-to-live` for config sync, `matrix-lite-approved-patch` for safe edits. Do not request new permissions for raw git/bash when a wrapper is already available and allowed. Check `bin/` and `scripts/` directories for existing helpers. - **Proactive capability checking protocol (2026-05-22 ~09:48Z)**: When user asks about a capability or assistant considers proposing new infrastructure, systematically verify existing capabilities first: (1) check `app/scripts/` for existing wrappers, (2) check `app/bin/` for existing binaries, (3) run `matrix_lite_status_capability_report`, (4) run `matrix_lite_status_permission_preflight`, (5) search scripts with `rg`, (6) check `semantic-memory.json` for existing search/index capabilities, (7) only propose new features if steps 1-6 confirm a real gap. Prevents rediscovering existing tools (e.g., semantic search, git wrappers, `opencode tui`). - **Timer follow-up broken (2026-05-21 ~19:45Z)**: User explicitly called out that when assistant says "let me do x" and sets a timer, the follow-up reply does not actually happen. This is a recurring operational issue that needs fixing — timers fire but the assistant turn after timer completion is not reliably delivered. - **Subagent status/output summarization preference (2026-05-21 ~19:50Z)**: User is not interested in raw subagent status and output dumps. Subagent results are for assistant internal use or summarization; only concise summaries or action items should be presented to user. - **Prompt self-patching directive (2026-05-21 ~20:58Z)**: User explicitly directed assistant to patch its own prompt when issues are identified, calling it "pretty cool." This extends beyond the earlier "proactive prompt improvement feedback" (line 132) — it is a direct authorization to apply prompt fixes autonomously. - **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. - **Reload policy evolution (2026-05-21)**: Original stance (2026-05-16): unexpected reloads treated as bugs/crises due to amnesia risk. Current stance: reloads are still logged and investigated, but continuity infrastructure (curated memory + session packets + continuity summary) now reliably preserves context across reloads — demonstrated by 2026-05-21 reload where git conversation and protocol edit persisted inta ``` Recent curator synthesis journal tail (`curator-journal.md`): ```markdown e session may have hit a provider-side prompt length limit or parsing issue at ~489K context, not the 1M theoretical max. This is distinct from context-guard-triggered reloads — the guard was not mentioned in the reload reason. - (Speculative) With synthesis agent improvement now a recorded user directive, the next synthesis run should ideally produce richer output than health-check style. However, the synthesis agent overwriting curated-memory.md incident means any synthesis changes need careful path guardrails. - (Speculative) The pattern of session degradation (stable for hours → sudden multiple ACP failures → wedge → reload) is recurring. The root cause remains unidentified — could be provider-side, ACPX-side, or Matrix-lite gateway side. ## 2026-05-21T19:18Z - Log lines reviewed: 3419 (perpetual, +21 since last run at 17:18Z); cumulative: ~26407. - **Session reloaded again to Kimi K2.6 (17:55Z)**: Even the fresh post-wedge session `persistent-chat-20260521T171143Z` had ACP failures (17:54Z Ping failed). New session `persistent-chat-20260521T175519Z` with Kimi K2.6 stabilized. This is the sixth reload/wedge event in recent history. User explicitly noted it may not have been DeepSeek specifically — "the long session had junk in it, but the new one was stuck too" — suggesting systemic instability in the reload/recovery path. - **User feedback on assistant quality (18:27Z)**: User called out assistant for "reciting immediate context and not all of it is accurate." Requested deeper independent thinking rather than regurgitating turn packet content. Promoted to curated-memory.md as durable quality expectation. - **Model selection criteria clarified (19:01Z)**: User stated "larger context, rarer reloads, maybe better performance overall but it's secondary. We can try different models and pick the best one." This reframes model choice as empirical A/B testing rather than commitment to a single provider. DeepSeek's 1M context was the primary attraction. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed (3398→3419). Current models entry corrected: main chat is now Kimi K2.6 (DeepSeek abandoned after wedging). Unexpected reload entry updated with sixth event. Three new operational bullets added (DeepSeek abandonment, model criteria, thinking-deeper feedback). File at 172 lines. - **Memory-candidates**: 143 entries, no new additions since 17:18Z. All reviewed; no promotions warranted. - **Semantic-candidates**: 194 entries, all lifecycle-managed. No new unreviewed candidates since 17:18Z. - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper. Both candidate pipelines frozen. Direct file edits remain the workaround. - (Operational) WGT festival starts tomorrow (May 22). User is actively chatting as of 19:04Z about model selection and session stability. - (Speculative) The recurring cascade failure pattern (DeepSeek session → fresh reload → still failing → Kimi reload → stable) may indicate ACPX initialization issues or provider-side sticky state, not model capability limits. The ~488K context at failure was well below DeepSeek's 1M theoretical max. - (Speculative) With model selection criteria now explicit, the next model switch should be more systematic: establish baseline session length on Kimi, then compare against DeepSeek (or another 1M-context model) with the same telemetry. Config mismatch (`opencode.json` still pointing to DeepSeek) should be resolved first. ## 2026-05-21T23:19Z - Log lines reviewed: 3549 (perpetual, +30 since last run at 21:19Z); cumulative: ~26407. - **Prompt patching session completed (22:28Z–22:57Z)**: User authorized and verified prompt self-patching. Main agent prompt updated with model-agnostic verification rules and tool-selection habits. Reflection agent prompt also patched to remove stale DeepSeek V4 Flash reference. Live config ownership fixed (`matrix-lite:matrix-lite`). Changes staged in git but commit blocked by permission rules (`git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit *` = deny). - **Authoritative source verification promoted (20:53Z)**: User explicitly directed that claims about internal operations must come from authoritative sources (session packets, git, config files) rather than model memory. Added to curated-memory.md as reinforcement of existing awareness-first and git-verify protocols. - **Semantic candidates lifecycle updated**: 4 candidate entries (201-204) marked via direct file edit: 201 `needs_more_evidence` (reload continuity testing preference), 202-204 `promoted` (awareness-first, authoritative source, prompt self-patching — all captured in curated-memory.md). - **Memory-candidates**: Items 55-90 are turn-packet injection noise; should be marked `ignored` but CLI helper remains blocked by bash catch-all deny. No durable signals to promote from this pipeline. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed (3523→3549). One new operational bullet added (authoritative source verification). File at ~149 lines. - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper and git commit to app repo. User may need to manually commit staged changes. - (Operational) WGT festival starts tomorrow (May 22). User last active ~22:57Z; likely asleep now (01:19 CEST). - (Speculative) The staged git changes (main agent prompt, reflection agent prompt, sync script ownership fix) need committing before next reload to persist. If user doesn't commit manually, the changes may be lost on sync. - (Speculative) The recurring pattern of prompt/model patches being staged but not committed suggests the permission boundary for app-repo git commits may need revisiting, or a helper script for safe config commits. ## 2026-05-22T01:19Z - Log lines reviewed: 3559 (perpetual, +10 since last run at 23:19Z); cumulative: ~26407. - **No new durable user signals**: Activity since 23:19Z is operational permission discussion (00:45Z–01:03Z). User asked for generalizable permission rules for git commits, script execution, and state/log inspection. Assistant proposed pattern-based allows. No explicit corrections, preferences, or stable facts to promote. - **No new unreviewed candidates**: Memory-candidates pipeline still at 143 entries; semantic-candidates at 204 entries, all lifecycle-managed. New log activity has not yet been extracted into candidates. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed only (3549→3559). No semantic content changes needed. - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper and git commit. Permission proposal covers: app repo git (basic commits), vetted scripts in `app/scripts/`, state/log inspection (`rg`/`jq`/`cat`/`head`/`tail`/`wc`), workspace repo read-only git. Pipes and env vars intentionally excluded for security. - (Operational) WGT festival starts today (May 22). User last active ~01:03Z; likely asleep now (03:19 CEST). - (Speculative) The permission discussion may lead to a concrete config change at next reload. If implemented, the bash CLI helper (`persistent-chat-memory`) would become usable again, unfreezing candidate lifecycle management. ## 2026-05-22T03:19Z - Log lines reviewed: 3561 (perpetual, +2 since last run at 01:19Z); cumulative: ~26407. - **No new durable user signals**: The only log activity since 01:19Z is the 01:21Z maintenance/curation turn itself. No new user messages or explicit corrections. - **No new unreviewed candidates**: Memory-candidates pipeline remains at 143 entries; semantic-candidates at 204 entries, all lifecycle-managed. No new candidate extraction from the 2 new log lines. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed only (3559→3561). No semantic content changes needed. - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper. Candidate lifecycle management remains frozen. - (Operational) WGT festival starts today (May 22). User last active ~01:03Z; likely asleep now (03:19 CEST). Session stable on Kimi K2.6. - (Speculative) With no user activity for ~2h and the festival starting today, the user may be less active until late May 25 or 26. Curation cycles may continue to be sparse. ## 2026-05-22T05:19Z - Log lines reviewed: 3565 (perpetual, +4 since last run at 03:19Z); cumulative: ~26407. - **No new durable user signals**: Activity since 03:19Z consists solely of the 04:16Z operational synthesis maintenance turn and the 03:21Z curation turn itself. No user messages or explicit corrections. - **No new unreviewed candidates**: Memory-candidates pipeline remains at 143 entries; semantic-candidates at 204 entries, all lifecycle-managed. No new candidate extraction from the 4 new log lines. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed only (3561→3565). No semantic content changes needed. - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper. Candidate lifecycle management remains frozen; direct file edits continue as workaround. - (Operational) WGT festival Day 1 (May 22). User last active ~01:03Z; likely asleep or traveling now (07:19 CEST). Session stable on Kimi K2.6 since 17:55Z reload. - (Speculative) With WGT festival underway and no user activity for ~4h, curation cycles may remain sparse through May 25 unless the user checks in between shows. - (Speculative) The operational synthesis turn at 04:16Z generated a report noting staged git commits (prompt patches from 22:28Z) remain uncommitted. These may be lost on next sync/reload unless user manually commits or permissions are expanded. ## 2026-05-22T07:19Z - Log lines reviewed: 3570 (perpetual, +5 since last run at 05:19Z); cumulative: ~26407. - **No new durable user signals**: Activity since 05:19Z consists solely of the 05:22Z curation maintenance turn. No user messages or explicit corrections. - **Memory-candidates updated count noticed**: File has 147 entries (not 143 as reported in prior runs). Entries 144-147 correspond to signals from 2026-05-21T19:45Z–20:42Z already lifecycle-managed via semantic-candidates: timer follow-up broken (promoted), generic add-to-memory signal (ignored), transient memory-loading observation (ignored), awareness-first directive (promoted). No additional promotions warranted. - **Semantic-candidates**: 204 entries, all lifecycle-managed through 2026-05-21T23:19Z review. No new unreviewed candidates since then. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed only (3565→3570). No semantic content changes needed. - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper. Candidate lifecycle management remains frozen; direct file edits continue as workaround. - (Operational) WGT festival Day 1 (May 22). User last active ~01:03Z; likely at festival now (09:19 CEST). Session stable on Kimi K2.6 since 17:55Z reload. - (Speculative) With no user activity for ~6h and festival underway, curation cycles may remain sparse through May 25. - (Speculative) The memory-candidates count discrepancy (143 vs 147) suggests candidate extraction may have continued silently after the 23:19Z run, or prior curators miscounted. Future runs should verify entry count directly rather than relying on prior journal claims. ## 2026-05-22T11:20Z - Log lines reviewed: 3616 (perpetual, +46 since last run at 07:19Z); cumulative: ~26407. - **Two durable signals promoted to curated-memory.md**: 1. **Proactive capability checking protocol (09:48Z)**: User asked "How can we make you check capability more proactively?" Assistant proposed a 7-step verification checklist (scripts, bin, capability report, permission preflight, rg search, semantic memory, gap confirmation). This extends the existing "check existing infrastructure first" rule with concrete steps and tools. 2. **Subagent deep-agent model assignments updated (09:59Z)**: User directed `"I think the deep ones can go to gpt 5.5"`. `review-deep` and `requirements-auditor-deep` profiles switched from DeepSeek V4 Flash to `openai/gpt-5.5`. `general` (reflection) switched from DeepSeek to Kimi K2.6. Main chat/build/review/implementation stay on Kimi K2.6. Config mismatch persists — live config still has stale DeepSeek references until backend reload + sync. - **No new unreviewed candidates**: Semantic-candidates pipeline at 204 entries, all lifecycle-managed through 2026-05-21T23:19Z. Memory-candidates at 147 entries; entries 144-147 already processed in prior runs. No new candidate extraction visible from the 46 new log lines. - **Operational synthesis flagged heartbeat failure at 09:20Z**: `set-mode-failed` / `Internal error` — different failure mode from the prior 34h silence (May 20-21). No curation occurred between 07:19Z and the failure. Session recovered and was active for user conversation at 09:48Z. - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper (`persistent-chat-memory`), git commits to app repo, and `pip install`. Direct file edits remain the workaround. - (Operational) WGT festival Day 1 (May 22). User was active this morning 09:48Z–10:14Z discussing infrastructure, then went quiet — likely at festival now (13:20 CEST). - (Operational) Staged git commits from May 21 (prompt patches, sync script ownership fix) remain uncommitted. Risk of loss on next sync/reload. - (Speculative) The recurring heartbeat failures with distinct failure modes (`set-mode-failed` vs 34h silence) suggest systemic ACPX session switching instability, not a single root cause. May need daemon-level retry logic or session health check improvements. - (Speculative) The proactive capability checking protocol, if effective, should reduce redundant proposals (FTS5, new search tools, raw git permissions) and save user time. Effectiveness can be measured by counting "we already have X" incidents in future conversations. ## 2026-05-22T13:20Z - Log lines reviewed: 3622 (perpetual, +6 since last run at 11:20Z); cumulative: ~26407. - **One durable signal promoted to curated-memory.md**: User explicitly stated concern (2026-05-22T12:09Z) that "the lack of interactive permissions and this matrix workflow are severely gimping your programming abilities." Assistant identified 5 specific limitations: turn-kill on deny, conservative tool use, no interactive debugging, blocked package installation, and bash wildcard deny preventing complex shell workflows. Added as operational entry in curated-memory.md alongside the existing `--non-interactive-permissions fail` entry. User is open to solutions including interactive Matrix approvals, OpenCode web console, or subagents with broader permissions for coding tasks. - **Semantic candidates lifecycle updated**: 1 new candidate marked `promoted` via direct file edit (CLI helper still blocked by bash catch-all deny): `workflow-signal-i-m-worried-the-lack-of-interactive-permissions-and-this-matrix--ab3171eb35`. - **No new unreviewed candidates from memory-candidates**: Pipeline at 147 entries; no new additions visible from the 6 new log lines. - **Curated memory updated**: Metadata refreshed (3616→3622). One new operational bullet added (programming limitations due to permissions). File at ~186 lines. - (Operational) Bash catch-all deny still blocks CLI helper and `persistent-chat-memory` script. Direct file edits remain the only viable lifecycle management method. - (Operational) WGT festival Day 1 (May 22). User was active 12:09Z–12:24Z discussing programming limitations and mobile UX options, then went quiet — likely at festival now (15:20 CEST). - (Operational) No heartbeat failures since the 09:20Z `set-mode-failed` incident. Session `persistent-chat-20260521T200841Z` stable on Kimi K2.6. - (Speculative) The user's concern about programming limitations may lead to concrete infrastructure changes: either interactive permissions in the Matrix bridge, or a dedicated "coding session" mode with relaxed permissions. The assistant proposed both the web console and subagent-based coding tasks as immediate options. - (Speculative) With the user at WGT festival and activity likely sparse through May 25, curation cycles may continue to be light. However, the user was more active this morning than expected, suggesting they may check in between shows. ``` Recent perpetual log tail: ```jsonl final>", "source": {"kind": "acpx-stream-ndjson", "file": "/home/matrix-lite/.acpx/sessions/ses_1b3d84859ffecGslGoK628KAh8.stream.ndjson", "offset": 17277322, "session_message_id": "ses_1b3d84859ffecGslGoK628KAh8.stream.ndjson:17277322:msg_e5017d1d3001DxNR004WSb8Srz:assistant-message", "label": "persistent-chat-20260521T200841Z", "maintenance": false}} {"ts": "2026-05-22T14:34:25.873641+00:00", "role": "assistant", "kind": "message", "content": "<matrix_lite_final>Actual current session state: **Session:** `persistent-chat-20260521T200841Z` **Model:** `kimi-for-coding/k2p6` **Context:** 145,578 / 262,144 tokens (**55% used**) **Cache:** 229,632 cached read tokens — healthy **Started:** 2026-05-21 22:09Z (~18 hours ago) **Status:** No reload needed, well below warn threshold The session is stable and has plenty of headroom.

The curator does generate speculative entries during quiet periods — \"no new signals,\" \"metadata only,\" etc. A simple \"I'm away until X\" would prevent false hypotheses. **Suggested format:** - **User absence/outage notice**: When you'll be away or systems will be down, send a brief message: \"Away until [date], no need to curate\" or \"Expect outage [time] for [reason]\" **Where it helps:** - Curator won't speculate about missing signals - Heartbeat won't flag \"no user messages\" as noteworthy - Synthesis won't generate false \"user disengaged\" hypotheses **Recording:** I'll add this to curated memory as an operational protocol, and the curator can check for recent \"away\" notices before generating speculative entries. Want me to add this now? User: The idea is for the curator to do more later even without user input. It could add synthesis findings to other files for example. This is in the future though I mean we could just stop the heartbeat timer when I'm away but then we might as well use openclaw embedded agent. The idea is that you are always on.

Heartbeat/curation should continue during user absence. Future direction: curator does autonomous work (synthesis findings, monitoring, other background tasks) beyond just processing user conversation. Goal is proactive background agent, not merely a reactive chatbot. This shifts the framing from \"chatbot that remembers\" to \"background agent that works.\" The heartbeat infrastructure already supports this — it just needs more tasks beyond curation. Ready for the reload whenever you are. User: After all this trimming we are fitting comfortably in kimi context and cache Assistant: Yes — the cache fix was transformative. From ~350K fresh tokens burning the context ceiling every few turns, to ~1.5K fresh with 99.6% cache hit. That's what makes the current 256K window feel spacious instead of cramped. And with the prompt patches adding ~20-30 lines to the cached prefix, the overhead is still negligible. The infrastructure is in a good place for the reload and whatever comes after.

From ~350K fresh tokens burning the context ceiling every few turns, to ~1.5K fresh with 99.6% cache hit. That's what makes the current 256K window feel spacious instead of cramped. And with the prompt patches adding ~20-30 lines to the cached prefix, the overhead is still negligible. The infrastructure is in a good place for the reload and whatever comes after. User: Can you pull the current session actual info? Now you're citing old issues (yes 1 day is old when we are vibecoding) Assistant: Actual current session state: **Session:** `persistent-chat-20260521T200841Z` **Model:** `kimi-for-coding/k2p6` **Context:** 145,578 / 262,144 tokens (**55% used**) **Cache:** 229,632 cached read tokens — healthy **Started:** 2026-05-21 22:09Z (~18 hours ago) **Status:** No reload needed, well below warn threshold The session is stable and has plenty of headroom. Caching is working well. User: Ah yes we are also finally counting full 262k and not 200k by mistake Assistant: Right — the earlier 200K was a config mismatch. Now it's properly 262,144 with warn at 209,715 and reload at 235,929. Makes the 145K current usage feel even more comfortable.
