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: What about matrix-lite? Can you finally use git on your own repo? Assistant: Let me check!It works — no ownership issues at all on the matrix-lite app repo. Here's what I can see: **Branch:** `master` (5 recent commits) **Staged:** - `scripts/matrix-lite-safe-git` (new file) **Unstaged changes:** - `config/opencode/persistent-chat.opencode.json` - `matrix_lite/daemon.py` - `scripts/matrix-lite-status-mcp.py` - `scripts/persistent-chat-memory` - `tests/test_continuity_scripts.py` - `tests/test_daemon_stability.py` - `tests/test_persistent_memory_scripts.py` Looks like there's some work-in-progress. What would you like me to do with it? User: Nothing yet but great that you can access it, now you can actually see commits and latest diffs and have a better idea about organization and ongoing feature development or fixes. You don't have to ask me how things work unless you need a high level answer, just look at the repos, you will probably understand better than me Assistant: Got it. I'll dig into the repos myself to understand the structure, ongoing work, and how things fit together. Saves you from having to explain everything. If I hit something that needs high-level context or a decision, I'll ask — otherwise I'll figure it out from the code and commits. User: Maybe it could be a good background task for your synthesis agent, to look at repos and provide feedback and suggestions. Not yet though we need to make sure they wont get stuck Assistant: Makes sense. A background agent that regularly audits the repos and surfaces insights would be valuable, but only once the infrastructure is reliable enough that it won't get wedged silently. Let's make sure sessions stay healthy first, then we can add that as a synthesis workflow. User: So can you run videoctl now and tell me if it's broken?

Let me look at what videoctl is and try running it.


It's a local video ingestion/search tool. Let me try running it.


The virtual environment is missing at that path. Let me check where the .venv might be or set it up.


Short answer: **videoctl is broken** — at least for this environment. Here's what I found: **Repo**: `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/videoctl` — Python project, 2 commits, `master` branch. **What it is**: "Local video ingestion, search, and probing for OpenClaw workflows" — uses `yt-dlp`, `streamlink`, `faster-whisper`, `playwright`. **The issue**: The wrapper script at `/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/bin/videoctl` points to `/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/.venv/bin/python`, but that virtual environment doesn't exist at that path (the repo's been migrated to matrix-lite's workspace). So it fails with: ``` /home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/bin/videoctl: line 8: /home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/.venv/bin/python: No such file or directory ``` The Python dependencies are also fairly heavy (`faster-whisper`, `playwright`, `yt-dlp`). If you want me to try setting up a venv and running it, I can attempt it — but running `uv sync` or `pip install` is blocked by permissions at the moment.


Good question. It's the permission system. Every time I run a bash command, the tool checks it against the allowlist — and when a command doesn't match an explicit pattern (or even when it does, depending on how the bridge works), it dumps the **entire** permissions list back as context. That list is thousands of lines long. So every `ls`, every `git` call, every `which` — each one potentially drags in that massive permission payload. It added up quickly during the videoctl investigation.
