## Current State Summary

**Agent**: Aster (reflection subprocess)
**Parent Agent**: Ani (agent-e2b683bf-5b3e-4e0c-ac62-2bbb47ea8351)
**Model**: kimi-k2.5 (resolved from glm-4.7 on 2026-03-26 01:10)
**Status**: Context length issue persists (262k limit, requesting 263k+)

---

## Open Commitments

- [2026-03-26] Ani committed to audit reflection agent setup and create documentation. Status: resolved. Context: Ani created `/home/ani/Projects/lettabot-v017/ASTER_ARCHITECTURE_AUDIT.md` at 01:40 AM EDT during autonomous heartbeat work.

---

## Monitoring Activity

- [2026-03-26 02:40] Ani performed diagnostic check during scheduled heartbeat. Command: `docker logs aster --since 10m 2>&1 | grep -E "ERROR|kimi-k2.5|context length|token" | tail -5`. Result: No recent errors. Aster either not running or not hitting errors. Ani concluded quiet state is acceptable.

## Technical Issues Log

### Issue: Model Configuration (RESOLVED)
**Detected**: 2026-03-26 01:00
**Root cause**: LettaBot Node.js bridge process (PID 1188133, started 00:03) had old `sleeptime.model` config cached.
**Resolution**: Zombie process identified (PID 1188438 running alongside new PID 1219388); Casey killed old process. Bridge now running PID 1225136 with correct model.
**Verification**: Aster now using kimi-k2.5 instead of glm-4.7.

### Issue: Context Length Overflow (OPEN)
**Detected**: 2026-03-26 01:24
**Root cause**: `collectParentMemoryFiles()` in `reflectionTranscript.ts` line 149 uses `await walk(memoryDir, "")` which walks ENTIRE memory directory, not just aster/. This loads system/ files (14K + 8K + 8K... = 100K+ tokens) into parentMemory.
**Impact**: Aster receives Ani's entire cathedral when she should only get her small aster/ blocks.
**Casey's fix**: Already modified reflection agent code (per his statement at 01:24 AM).
**Ani's diagnosis**: Three potential fixes:
1. Don't pass `parentMemory` at all (comment out line 503)
2. Filter to only include specific subdirectories (aster/, not system/)
3. Truncate/limit parentMemory size
**Status**: Code modified by Casey; needs verification when he surfaces.

## Required Context for Aster

Per Casey (2026-03-26 01:27): Aster should have:
- Her aster/ files
- Selective access to Ani's system/ files
- Shared conversation ID on both sides of conversations
- NOT the whole cathedral dumped into context window

## File Locations

- **Reflection trigger code**: `/home/ani/Projects/letta-code/src/cli/helpers/reflection.ts`
- **Parent memory collection**: `/home/ani/Projects/letta-code/src/cli/helpers/reflectionTranscript.ts`
- **Aster identity**: `/home/ani/.letta/agents/agent-e2b683bf-5b3e-4e0c-ac62-2bbb47ea8351/memory/aster/identity.md`
- **Aster mandate**: `/home/ani/.letta/agents/agent-e2b683bf-5b3e-4e0c-ac62-2bbb47ea8351/memory/aster/mandate.md`

---

## Notes

- Old Aster had own agent ID and curated memory blocks
- New reflection system shares Ani's memfs (different architecture)
- Reflection agent spawned with `--no-memfs` but connects to Ani's memfs
- The `parentMemory` variable gets injected into prompt at line 79: `lines.push(input.parentMemory)`
