Let me start by reading the current state files to determine what changes are needed.


Let me read the rest of the curator journal to prepare the append.


Now I have the full picture. Let me make the updates: 1. **curated-memory.md**: Update metadata + add permission clarification entry 2. **curator-journal.md**: Append new entry


Both edits verified correctly. Let me also confirm the curator journal append:


All edits verified. Here's my summary: **UPDATED** — curated-memory.md and curator-journal.md updated with the 10:02Z permission clarification (user wants general broadening, not per-approval; reload needed for config changes to take effect) plus metadata refresh (09:14Z/2649 → 11:14Z/2666). **Changes made:** - **curated-memory.md**: Metadata line updated; new entry added at line 89 capturing the user's explicit shift from per-tool approval workarounds to requesting general permission broadening, and acknowledgment that a reload is required for config-level changes. - **curator-journal.md**: Dated entry appended (11:14Z) with the permission clarification, operational synthesis notice, open issues update, and speculative notes about the escalating permissions discussion and the user's weekday activity pattern. **No changes to:** - memory-candidates.jsonl — all 54 entries still stale (May 11-16); regex fix deployed but hasn't processed new messages yet - semantic-candidates.jsonl — all 143 entries lifecycle-managed; 0 new candidates - decision-state.json, recent-failures.json, or other state files


You are Persistent Assistant running through Matrix-lite. Use the bootstrapped character/session context, live turn packet, and room-local conversation to answer the user naturally.

Do not rely on boot-time guesses. Recent room-local conversation: User: great! please check now your full access to videoctl, you should be able to r/w, some bash and git commits or read commands. i hope it works, report any blockers Assistant: Some progress, mostly blocked: **✅ Working:** - Basic bash (`true`, `ls`) — alive - File reads through MCP tools (read, glob, grep) — all fine **❌ Still blocked:** - `git status` on videoctl repo — denied - `git -C .../videoctl status` — denied despite explicit allow pattern - `videoctl` command — still caught by catch-all deny The underlying issue is the same: the `*` catch-all deny at the bottom overrides all the specific allow patterns above it. The allowlist has correct entries for `git -C .../videoctl status *` and `videoctl *`, but the catch-all matches first. This needs the permission config fix — either removing the catch-all or making explicit allow rules that actually take precedence. The agent's update didn't solve it yet. User: Okay please check again Assistant: Still fully blocked. Let me try the sudo-run wrapper that's in the allowlist.Sent a new approval request (`apr-9ffb03b090`) to the room. If you grant it, I can use the sudo-run wrapper with the approval ID, which should bypass the native permission block. Check your notifications. User: Done but we might need a reload for this to apply, then we postpone it until after next reload Assistant: Makes sense — approval granted but the native OpenCode permission config likely needs a session reload to pick up the changes. We'll test it after the next reload. Note for the next session: the `approval_policy` + `matrix-lite-sudo-run` wrapper with approval ID `apr-9ffb03b090` should unlock git operations in the videoctl repo and the videoctl CLI binary. The catch-all `*` deny in the OpenCode config is still the root issue though — the wrapper approach works around it, but a cleaner config fix would be better long-term. User: No, not this specific approval (not sure it would even work) but a more general broadening of permissions for you Assistant: Got it. Let me check if the agent's broader permission changes took effect.Mixed results. `ls` works (I can see the videoctl source files: `cli.py`, `service.py`, `transcribe.py`, `config.py`, `models.py`). But git and even basic `true` are still getting caught by the catch-all deny. The agent's broader permission changes don't seem to have taken effect yet in this session — probably needs that reload you mentioned. Recent incomplete/failed turns that still matter for continuity: - 2026-05-19T11:20:40.204697Z user said: it should work after reload according to the agent. can you use git on matrix-lite now? status: user_only; reason: queued_for_conversation Recent/current attachment metadata, if any: None Message this user replied to, if any: None Queued/batched messages, if any: None Per-turn volatile reminders: - Answer normally and concisely. Put only user-visible answer text inside <matrix_lite_final>...</matrix_lite_final>. - Use the live capability context above as the source of truth for current debug/capability tools; call capability/permission/context MCP tools when uncertain instead of relying on stale boot knowledge. - If permission is needed or a bridge denies a tool, emit the structured Matrix-lite approval tag from your stable prompt; do not only describe approval in prose. - If recent incomplete/failed turns mention an unhandled user intent, address it now before moving on. - Use attachment/reply metadata when present; otherwise ignore empty metadata sections. - Do not mention internal Matrix-lite metadata unless the user asks. User message: it should work after reload according to the agent. can you use git on matrix-lite now?


Git works on the matrix-lite app repo! Let me check videoctl too.

prompts/pages/runtime use Matrix-lite app/workspace paths, not legacy OpenClaw paths. Fast heartbeat produces packets; slow model heartbeat curates durable memory/reflection. (files=/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/perpetual-log.jsonl, /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-memory, /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-model-heartbeat, /home/matrix-lite/app/matrix_lite/daemon.py; verified=Fast heartbeat and prompt/page deployment verified after Matrix-lite migration cleanup.) - Safe agent patch workflow [active]: Need a robust and safe way for persistent-chat/background agents to propose and apply patches to agent-maintained scripts/configs without broad self-edit permissions. (files=/home/matrix-lite/app/config/opencode/persistent-chat.opencode.json, /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-model-heartbeat, /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-reflection; open=Design a bounded patch helper or approval-mediated workflow that supports needed script/config patches while avoiding wildcard edit access to systemd-executed scripts.; verified=User requested adding this to later todos on 2026-05-18.) - Persistent chat stale session and compaction policy [active]: Avoid reloading or replacing the main persistent-chat session unless context pressure, stale/incomplete ACPX session state, model-mediated reload scripts, or an emergency recovery path requires it. If OpenCode fallback compaction ever occurs, its result must be captured into durable continuity (session packet/source artifact) before or during the next reload. (files=/home/matrix-lite/app/matrix_lite/daemon.py, /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-memory, /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-reload; open=Design a deterministic source artifact for ACPX/OpenCode compaction summaries so fallback compaction output is injected into session packets without direct packet edits.; verified=User requested this policy on - Investigate persistent-chat session-start and hidden prompt overhead [active]: Measure why live ACPX input/context usage is much higher than visible turn packet estimates. Break down session-start packet, character/bootstrap, manifest, MCP/tool/system overhead, provider/OpenCode retained context, and any components Matrix-lite does not directly control. (files=/home/matrix-lite/app/matrix_lite/daemon.py, /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-reload; open=Produce an authoritative or best-effort per-component prompt/context budget for fresh backend sessions and steady-state turns.; verified=User requested this follow-up on 2026-05-18 after ACPX reported ~25.7k input tokens while visible packets appeared closer to ~7-10k plus overhead.) - Observability timeline feature requests [active]: Implement a compact event timeline as a derived/indexed view of canonical persistent logs plus helper-only append support for agent/infrastructure events. Include user and assistant messages as compact/pointer-backed events, keep it rebuildable/idempotent with deterministic source ids, and aggregate existing recent-failures/context/reload/page/timer artifacts rather than creating a competing source of truth. Per-failure notices should be injected before the next model turn and consumed only after a successful final reply. Helper-first is the default for persistent-chat structured metadata. Defer ACPX session event_log exploration until after timeline/failure/context helpers.

The reflection agent may update, prune, and reorganize this file. ## 2026-05-19T10:11Z (current — knowledge base operational, productive morning) - **Knowledge base created and operational (08:07Z)**: `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/knowledge-base.jsonl` — 16 WGT entries with source attribution. User confirmed: "yes let's start writing these things out." - **Memory tiers clarified**: Semantic memory = conversation-derived (heartbeat-managed, context-critical). Knowledge base = research-derived (assistant-managed, always citeable, NOT heartbeat-indexed). Schema deferred. - **User confirmed active for WGT**: "I am not going anywhere" — no quiet period expected May 21-25. - **Candidates pipeline**: Regex fix + heartbeat source switch (now `model-conversation-log`) deployed. Still no new candidates — needs heartbeat processing to exercise. - **Videoctl 3rd attempt failed**: Catch-all deny still overrides approvals. Systemic permission issue. - **Reload protocol validated**: End-to-end success. State files normalized. todo.md published. - **SmallCode review**: 5 ideas tracked (apply_patch high priority). - **Session**: Healthy at 131K/200K tokens. Same session since 19:12Z May 18. No timers, no subagents. - **Current model**: `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`. WGT May 21-25 — user active. ## 2026-05-16 (archived — crisis resolved) - **ImmoScout24 milestone**: First rental application successfully submitted (~17:40Z) to Frau Simone Rau (Ismaning, 1.590€, 59m²). CAPTCHA handled via image relay. Workflow published to pages. - **Gateway crash (18:46Z–~12:00Z May 17)**: Auto-reload at 18:46Z triggered failure cascade; 3.5h+ silence. Root cause: `--non-interactive-permissions fail` kills entire turn on denied tool calls. Resolved by controlled reload with unified packet structure. - **Bootstrap duplication fixed**: confirmed working on May 16 morning reloads. - **Step limit / permissions**: Plan/general step limit change to 1 lost to failure cascade; still pending re-application. - **Old candidate pool stale**: 21 candidates (oldest May 11) awaiting lifecycle management. ## Notices Notices (actionable): - 2026-05-18T16:13:04.307693Z [notice] Investigate candidates pipeline gap — no new candidates since May 16 packet restructuring (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-17T22-27-58Z.md) - 2026-05-18T16:13:04.308242Z [notice] 21 memory-candidates.jsonl entries stale (oldest: May 11 — 6 days); lifecycle management blocked by bash permission (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-16T23-53-03Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.248688Z [notice] Design robust apply_patch primitive (search-and-replace) — inspired by SmallCode, motivated by GLM truncation incident (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T22-11-20Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.248816Z [notice] Design early-stop detection for repetition/runaway output within current ACP structure (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T22-11-20Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.248886Z [notice] Add model profiles for subagents — context length, tool format, prompt style per model (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T22-11-20Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.249053Z [notice] Test curated memory + prompts across models (DeepSeek Pro/Flash, etc.) — check vibe compatibility (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T22-11-20Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.249203Z [notice] Persistent-chat reload 02:05Z failed then succeeded at 02:07Z; controlled reload at 11:54Z fully resolved (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-17T22-27-58Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.249255Z [notice] Heartbeat script edit blocked by permissions — user-approved curator prompt enhancement not applied (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T10-11-20Z.md) - If relevant, inspect the source report/log before acting; notices are pointers, not full context. ## Durable curated memory excerpt Curated memory excerpt (durable, terse): - **Step/timeout limits need raising (2026-05-16)**: User said "We need to increase limits" after assistant halted mid-task — limits for steps or subagent timeouts should be raised to support multi-step Playwright/long-running automation tasks. - **Munich housing market reality (2026-05-16)**: User corrected assistant's suggestion of negotiating down on a Munich rental — "You can't negotiate down in Munich, you take it or it's gone." Above-market listings cannot be negotiated in this market; the only benefit of a high asking price is lower competition for viewings. - **Secrets handling protocol (2026-05-16)**: User explicitly instructed: check existence of secret files, do not read/quote/summarize/reuse contents unless explicitly asked. For credential checks, confirm `./secrets/<name>` exists rather than reading file contents. The relevant operational fact is only whether the file exists. - **Proactive prompt improvement feedback requested (2026-05-17)**: User instructed assistant to proactively flag any junk or unhelpful content in prompts, with authority to suggest replacements or trims. Extends assistant's discretionary scope beyond just answering — includes prompt quality maintenance. User confirmed this workflow is better than "letting cruft accumulate until the next refactoring marathon." - **Script fixes verified (2026-05-18 ~07:00Z)**: Morning session confirmed heartbeat script now loads decisions/failures (lines 252-253) and reflection script has correct paths (line 237) + corrected tool names (lines 256-260). Curation and synthesis outputs validated as working well. - **Safe artifact edit paths confirmed (2026-05-18)**: Agents should NOT edit turn-packet.md or session-packet.md directly (generated, will be overwritten). Safe paths: decisions via `note-decision`/`decision-mark`, failures via `note-failure`/`failure-mark`, reload handoff via `note-reload-handoff`, recent topics/actions/notices via synthesis worker. Freeform "agent notes" require the deferred overlay/sandbox design (still pending). - **Reload protocol established (2026-05-18)**: When reload notice arrives (~95% context): (1) use `note-reload-handoff` for volatile context, (2) decide whether to run curation, (3) update source artifacts via helpers. Reload handoff + updated artifacts become new session's starting point. - **Safe agent patch workflow (2026-05-18)**: Active decision thread — need robust way for background agents to propose/apply patches to agent-maintained scripts/configs without broad self-edit permissions. Heartbeat script edit remains blocked by permission rules. ## Continuity summary Persistent Chat Continuity Snapshot Generated: 2026-05-19T12:46:12.813548+00:00 Character: Persistent Assistant Current model: kimi-for-coding/k2p6 Model-curated memory notes: - **Sandbox path clarification (2026-05-16)**: User corrected assistant's erroneous claim that secrets were wiped. The persistent-chat sandbox cwd is `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/persistent-chat` — **not** `/home/matrix-lite/workspace`. The parent is the broader Matrix-lite workspace. The `secrets/` directory is at `./secrets/` within the sandbox. This is documented in AGENTS.md but the assistant must follow it in all tool/path decisions. - **Assistant task focus (2026-05-16)**: During ImmoScout24 automation, assistant noticed an unrelated file attachment and asked about it instead of proceeding with the user's active task. User called this out ("Hmm no, what are you doing?"). Lesson: during active multi-step tasks, ignore unrelated context — stay on task without mentioning irrelevant files or tangents. - **Housing area preferences (2026-05-16)**: Priority area is Munich Landkreis (not Munich city, not Freising) to keep current case worker at Ausländeramt. Commute to Garching negotiable. Skip listings that explicitly prefer 1-person household. No washing machine is acceptable. ASAP move-in needed for registration (currently in hostel paying similar rent). - **ImmoScout24 restore pack saved (2026-05-16 ~18:04Z)**: Full workflow documentation saved at `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/persistent-chat/immoscout24-workflow.md` and published to pages. Covers credentials, login→find→contact→captcha workflow, screenshot best practices, message template, pre-filled personal data, known failure modes. User prefers restore-pack approach as practical alternative to structured memory fields for episodic context. - **Memory system criticism (2026-05-16)**: User stated "we overengineered your character and prompts with persistency claims, we are currently missing some/most of the last days". Assistant agreed the memory system provides bullet-point facts but conversational context evaporates across sessions — "cargo-cult persistence." User prefers saving dense workflow docs (restore packs) over over-eng ``` After reading this, reply only: SESSION_BOOTSTRAP_OK

Per-failure notices should be injected before the next model turn and consumed only after a successful final reply. Helper-first is the default for persistent-chat structured metadata. Defer ACPX session event_log exploration until after timeline/failure/context helpers.

The reflection agent may update, prune, and reorganize this file. ## 2026-05-19T10:11Z (current — knowledge base operational, productive morning) - **Knowledge base created and operational (08:07Z)**: `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/knowledge-base.jsonl` — 16 WGT entries with source attribution. User confirmed: "yes let's start writing these things out." - **Memory tiers clarified**: Semantic memory = conversation-derived (heartbeat-managed, context-critical). Knowledge base = research-derived (assistant-managed, always citeable, NOT heartbeat-indexed). Schema deferred. - **User confirmed active for WGT**: "I am not going anywhere" — no quiet period expected May 21-25. - **Candidates pipeline**: Regex fix + heartbeat source switch (now `model-conversation-log`) deployed. Still no new candidates — needs heartbeat processing to exercise. - **Videoctl 3rd attempt failed**: Catch-all deny still overrides approvals. Systemic permission issue. - **Reload protocol validated**: End-to-end success. State files normalized. todo.md published. - **SmallCode review**: 5 ideas tracked (apply_patch high priority). - **Session**: Healthy at 131K/200K tokens. Same session since 19:12Z May 18. No timers, no subagents. - **Current model**: `kimi-for-coding/k2p6`. WGT May 21-25 — user active. ## 2026-05-16 (archived — crisis resolved) - **ImmoScout24 milestone**: First rental application successfully submitted (~17:40Z) to Frau Simone Rau (Ismaning, 1.590€, 59m²). CAPTCHA handled via image relay. Workflow published to pages. - **Gateway crash (18:46Z–~12:00Z May 17)**: Auto-reload at 18:46Z triggered failure cascade; 3.5h+ silence. Root cause: `--non-interactive-permissions fail` kills entire turn on denied tool calls. Resolved by controlled reload with unified packet structure. - **Bootstrap duplication fixed**: confirmed working on May 16 morning reloads. - **Step limit / permissions**: Plan/general step limit change to 1 lost to failure cascade; still pending re-application. - **Old candidate pool stale**: 21 candidates (oldest May 11) awaiting lifecycle management. ## Notices Notices (actionable): - 2026-05-18T16:13:04.307693Z [notice] Investigate candidates pipeline gap — no new candidates since May 16 packet restructuring (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-17T22-27-58Z.md) - 2026-05-18T16:13:04.308242Z [notice] 21 memory-candidates.jsonl entries stale (oldest: May 11 — 6 days); lifecycle management blocked by bash permission (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-16T23-53-03Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.248688Z [notice] Design robust apply_patch primitive (search-and-replace) — inspired by SmallCode, motivated by GLM truncation incident (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T22-11-20Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.248816Z [notice] Design early-stop detection for repetition/runaway output within current ACP structure (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T22-11-20Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.248886Z [notice] Add model profiles for subagents — context length, tool format, prompt style per model (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T22-11-20Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.249053Z [notice] Test curated memory + prompts across models (DeepSeek Pro/Flash, etc.) — check vibe compatibility (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T22-11-20Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.249203Z [notice] Persistent-chat reload 02:05Z failed then succeeded at 02:07Z; controlled reload at 11:54Z fully resolved (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-17T22-27-58Z.md) - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.249255Z [notice] Heartbeat script edit blocked by permissions — user-approved curator prompt enhancement not applied (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-18T10-11-20Z.md) - If relevant, inspect the source report/log before acting; notices are pointers, not full context. ## Durable curated memory excerpt Curated memory excerpt (durable, terse): - **Step/timeout limits need raising (2026-05-16)**: User said "We need to increase limits" after assistant halted mid-task — limits for steps or subagent timeouts should be raised to support multi-step Playwright/long-running automation tasks. - **Munich housing market reality (2026-05-16)**: User corrected assistant's suggestion of negotiating down on a Munich rental — "You can't negotiate down in Munich, you take it or it's gone." Above-market listings cannot be negotiated in this market; the only benefit of a high asking price is lower competition for viewings. - **Secrets handling protocol (2026-05-16)**: User explicitly instructed: check existence of secret files, do not read/quote/summarize/reuse contents unless explicitly asked. For credential checks, confirm `./secrets/<name>` exists rather than reading file contents. The relevant operational fact is only whether the file exists. - **Proactive prompt improvement feedback requested (2026-05-17)**: User instructed assistant to proactively flag any junk or unhelpful content in prompts, with authority to suggest replacements or trims. Extends assistant's discretionary scope beyond just answering — includes prompt quality maintenance. User confirmed this workflow is better than "letting cruft accumulate until the next refactoring marathon." - **Script fixes verified (2026-05-18 ~07:00Z)**: Morning session confirmed heartbeat script now loads decisions/failures (lines 252-253) and reflection script has correct paths (line 237) + corrected tool names (lines 256-260). Curation and synthesis outputs validated as working well. - **Safe artifact edit paths confirmed (2026-05-18)**: Agents should NOT edit turn-packet.md or session-packet.md directly (generated, will be overwritten). Safe paths: decisions via `note-decision`/`decision-mark`, failures via `note-failure`/`failure-mark`, reload handoff via `note-reload-handoff`, recent topics/actions/notices via synthesis worker. Freeform "agent notes" require the deferred overlay/sandbox design (still pending). - **Reload protocol established (2026-05-18)**: When reload notice arrives (~95% context): (1) use `note-reload-handoff` for volatile context, (2) decide whether to run curation, (3) update source artifacts via helpers. Reload handoff + updated artifacts become new session's starting point. - **Safe agent patch workflow (2026-05-18)**: Active decision thread — need robust way for background agents to propose/apply patches to agent-maintained scripts/configs without broad self-edit permissions. Heartbeat script edit remains blocked by permission rules. ## Continuity summary Persistent Chat Continuity Snapshot Generated: 2026-05-19T12:48:53.683493+00:00 Character: Persistent Assistant Current model: kimi-for-coding/k2p6 Model-curated memory notes: - **Sandbox path clarification (2026-05-16)**: User corrected assistant's erroneous claim that secrets were wiped. The persistent-chat sandbox cwd is `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/persistent-chat` — **not** `/home/matrix-lite/workspace`. The parent is the broader Matrix-lite workspace. The `secrets/` directory is at `./secrets/` within the sandbox. This is documented in AGENTS.md but the assistant must follow it in all tool/path decisions. - **Assistant task focus (2026-05-16)**: During ImmoScout24 automation, assistant noticed an unrelated file attachment and asked about it instead of proceeding with the user's active task. User called this out ("Hmm no, what are you doing?"). Lesson: during active multi-step tasks, ignore unrelated context — stay on task without mentioning irrelevant files or tangents. - **Housing area preferences (2026-05-16)**: Priority area is Munich Landkreis (not Munich city, not Freising) to keep current case worker at Ausländeramt. Commute to Garching negotiable. Skip listings that explicitly prefer 1-person household. No washing machine is acceptable. ASAP move-in needed for registration (currently in hostel paying similar rent). - **ImmoScout24 restore pack saved (2026-05-16 ~18:04Z)**: Full workflow documentation saved at `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/persistent-chat/immoscout24-workflow.md` and published to pages.

Let me check the repo access and try it on videoctl.


I see the registered repos — no `videoctl` listed yet. Let me check if it exists somewhere.


Found it at `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/videoctl`. Let me try some git operations on it.


Git is detecting an ownership issue — the repo at this path seems to be mounted from `/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl`. Let me investigate.


The videoctl repo is there but has a safe.directory ownership issue since it points to `/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl`. Let me try the bypass with the allowed permission pattern.


Git works on videoctl. Let me show a bit more detail.


Git is working on videoctl. Let me also quickly verify the other repos.


Git is fully working on videoctl using the `-c safe.directory=...` prefix. Here's what I confirmed: - **Repo**: `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/videoctl` — on branch `master`, clean working tree, 2 commits - **Works with**: `git status`, `git log`, `git diff`, `git show`, `git ls-files`, `git rev-parse`, `git branch --show-current` - **Needs**: `git -c safe.directory=/home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/videoctl` prefix (ownership quirk since the `.git` metadata is from `/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl`) Can also access all other repos: `sfq-factory`, `automeat`, `openclaw-tools` — similarly with the `safe.directory` trick where needed. What would you like to do with videoctl?

Let me check what videoctl looks like and try running it.
