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)

Additional Infrastructure Notes

VibeVoice TTS Service (RESOLVED - 2026-03-27)

Location: /home/casey/Projects/VibeVoice/ Port: 7860 Start script: start.sh Model: microsoft/VibeVoice-Realtime-0.5B (TTS) Device: GTX 1070 Ti (CUDA) URL: http://10.10.20.19:7860

Issue: Ani initially looked in wrong location (/home/ani/Projects/VibeVoice-ASR-NEW/) and attempted reinstallation. Casey corrected - proper location was /home/casey/Projects/VibeVoice/ with existing working configuration. Resolution: Ani used sudo to locate correct installation, found start.sh, successfully started service. Now running and listening on port 7860.
