No assimilation effect at cycle time in WRFDA 3DVAR cycle mode

Hello everyone,
When I was working on the cycle mode of WRFDA, I conducted data assimilation at 0:00, 6:00, 12:00, and 18:00 respectively. Moving to 6:00, I updated the lower boundary of WRFOUT according to the manual, then assimilated DA, updated the lateral boundary, and ran the data for the next 6 hours; But there are some issues with my current simulation results. I feel like the mode restarted when I was looping, instead of continuing the previous hour;
For example, the following is the data value of a certain site, which seems to restart the mode at times 0, 6, 12, and 18;
time,pm25(ug/m3),pm10(ug/m3),o3(ug/m3),no2(ug/m3),co(mg/m3),so2(ug/m3)

So, I have two unclear points.
Firstly, when I first ran from 0:00 on the 1st to 6:00 on the 1st, the data at 6:00 was not actually calculated. Therefore, should I set the end time to 7:00 on the 1st, and then use the integrated 6:00 data to update the boundaries and assimilate the data, and then go through the loop?
Secondly, while reading the official website manual, at the second moment, which is 6 o'clock on the 1st of my mode, I need to update the lower boundary. The parame.in namelist on the official website is shown below The original link for fg was wrfinput-d01 at 0:00, but I changed it to wrfinput_d01 at 6:00 in the second moment. However, wrf_input has already provided the input file for wrfinput-d01. Why do I need to link another file that is the same? Or, I don't understand what file should be linked to this da_file
da_file = './fg'
wrf_input = './wrfinput_d01'
update_lateral_bdy = .false.
update_low_bdy = .true.
iswater = 16
