What was that output? Assistant: That was the "uh oh" moment where the session got stuck. Let me recap the videoctl situation clearly: **Approval request still pending** — You said "approved" verbally but the formal approval system still shows `apr-6015a123eb` as pending. The actual `yt-dlp` command is still denied by permissions because the approval wasn't formally granted through the system. **The issue:** The `request_matrix_approval` tool sent a message to the room asking you to approve it, but the approval system needs you to either: - Click a button on the approval message, OR - I need to convert your verbal "approved" into a formal grant Want me to try granting it myself since you said approved, or did you want to handle it on your end?

Here's the situation in plain terms: **Why the approval didn't work:** - You approved via Matrix emoji reaction, but the approval system's reaction listener apparently didn't pick it up — the request still shows as `pending`, not `granted`. - The actual OpenCode bash permission rules have a blanket `deny` for `*` (wildcard), and the approval grant would normally create an exception, but since the grant never registered, the deny still wins. **Why yt-dlp itself failed earlier:** YouTube's bot protection is blocking anonymous yt-dlp requests from this server. Even if we got past the permission wall, we'd hit the "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" error. **Two things to fix:** 1. The approval reaction handling (seems like the Matrix listener for reaction emoji approvals isn't triggering properly) 2. Getting YouTube cookies into videoctl so yt-dlp can authenticate (you mentioned giving cookies — that'd work) Want me to try a different approach for the transcript — like `videoctl`'s own `add-url` with a cookies file if you provide one later? User: We need to add you permissions for yt dlp, but that would probably take effect after reload. So for now let's not try to run it again in this session and study it academically. Do you think it works now? Just by looking Assistant: Academically, looking at the source: **it won't work even with permissions**. The actual `add-url` in videoctl runs yt-dlp, and yt-dlp's anonymous request will hit YouTube's "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" — that's a server-side CAPTCHA challenge, not a permission issue. To make it actually work, you'd need to provide YouTube cookies so yt-dlp can authenticate. The flags would be: ` --cookies-from-browser <browser-name> ` or a cookie file exported from your browser. Once those cookies are in place and the permissions are added, the full pipeline (add-url → transcript → summary) should work end-to-end. The code itself is well-structured — I've read the skill doc and the approach is solid, just blocked by auth and permissions. **Agreed on the plan:** add `yt-dlp` (and its cookie/cookies-from-browser subcommand) to the allowlist for the next reload. In the meantime, I can study the code more and maybe even write a convenience wrapper that works with cookie files.

runtime [active]: Canonical persistent-chat memory now lives under /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat; 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. (files=/home/matrix-lite/app/matrix_lite/daemon.py, /home/matrix - architecture-doc-created [active]: Created /home/matrix-lite/workspace/persistent-chat/architecture.md as human-readable architecture doc. Agents should update this file when architecture changes. Keep it human-readable for Gleb.

Active backend matches configured model. Config mismatch resolved. - **Session reloaded at 12:50Z**: Old session at 190K/200K replaced. New session `persistent-chat-20260520T125044Z` at 12K/1,048,576 tokens. - **1M context window**: 5x capacity increase. Warn at 838K, reload at 943K. - **Candidates pipeline growing**: 64,574 bytes — steady growth. - **Privacy concern**: User worried about subscription data retention. Answira (Czech) strongest EU alternative. - **Git commits landed**: `d8eae97` + `7586ba3`. - **Knowledge base**: 16 WGT entries at `knowledge-base.jsonl`. - **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): - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.248816Z [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) - 2026-05-19T16:12:12.677720Z [notice] Investigate incomplete persistent-chat reload (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/reload-state.json) - 2026-05-20T07:20:15Z [notice] Persistent-chat context warning: Persistent-chat active context near threshold: metric=161136, warn=160000, reload=180000, max=200000, label=persistent-chat-20260519T155636Z (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/context-guard.json) - 2026-05-20T08:01:45Z [warning] Persistent-chat reload recommended: context guard recommends reload before overflow active_metric=180866 threshold=180000 max=200000; main agent should prepare a pre-reload handoff and trigger persistent-chat-reload when ready. (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/context-guard.json) - If relevant, inspect the source report/log before acting; notices are pointers, not full context. ## Durable curated memory excerpt Curated memory excerpt (durable, terse): - **nanoGPT privacy trade-off accepted (2026-05-20 ~00:32Z)**: When informed that OpenRouter's free tier offers no privacy guarantees, user accepted nanogpt's subscription model as pragmatic: "I can just hope nanogpt doesn't leak too much data." Confirms the privacy concern escalation (line 126) is noted but deferred — nanogpt continues as main provider for now. - **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. - **todo.md created as human-readable decision dashboard (2026-05-18 ~12:58Z)**: `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/todo.md` mirrors decision-state.json in plain markdown with checkbox action items, decision thread status, open questions, and file facts. Published to https://pages.nvdll.org/todo.md. Division of labor: `decision-state.json` = agent source of truth, `todo.md` = human dashboard, `actions.jsonl` = synthesis action queue. Published via standard `matrix-lite-pages publish` workflow; URL returns 401 from assistant's network but works for user. - **Prompt duplication review published (2026-05-19 ~20:58Z)**: Assistant identified 6 sources of per-turn prompt duplication costing ~225-825 tok/turn. Items 2-4 (volatile reminders ~100 tok, intro line ~50 tok, capability hints ~75 tok) are trivial to move to session-level (bootstrap/agent.build.prompt) for ~225 tok/turn savings with zero behavioral change. Conversation tail (item 1, ~200-500 tok) is the biggest variable saving but needed for fresh session context. Published to `https://pages.nvdll.org/reports/prompt-duplication-review.md` — pages server confirmed operational. ## Continuity summary Persistent Chat Continuity Snapshot Generated: 2026-05-20T21:19:18.057495+00:00 Character: Persistent Assistant Current model: kimi-for-coding/k2p6 Model-curated memory notes: - **WGT availability confirmed (2026-05-19 ~06:55Z)**: User explicitly corrected earlier curator speculation about a quiet period during WGT festival (May 22-25). "I am not going anywhere. There's plenty of time in the trains and the festival itself." User plans to be active and may need WGT timeline/routing help. Overlapping set slots and venue travel times (Stadtbad→agra→Felsenkeller = 20-30 min tram) are the main logistical challenge. - **WGT 2026 schedule confirmed available (2026-05-19 ~07:01Z)**: Assistant successfully fetched the full running order from wave-gotik-treffen.de. 10 venues across 4 days (May 22-25). Bands include Einstürzende Neubauten, Kim Wilde, Frontline Assembly, Covenant, Perturbator, Lacrimosa, London After Midnight, She Past Away, Moonspell, Molchat Doma, and many more. - **External knowledge persistence gap identified and resolved (2026-05-19)**: User discovered WGT schedule research from a previous session was not persisted (07:02Z). Current curated memory only captures conversation-derived user preferences, not externally researched facts. By 08:07Z, assistant created `knowledge-base.jsonl` at `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/knowledge-base.jsonl` — append-only JSONL, grep-searchable, survives reloads. Populated with 16 entries covering WGT context from Wikipedia, official site (wave-gotik-treffen.de), and Grokipedia, including a cross-source comparison note. User confirmed the format works ("yes let's start writing these things out"). - **Semantic memory vs knowledge base distinction confirmed (2026-05-19 ~08:14Z)**: User explic ``` After reading this, reply only: SESSION_BOOTSTRAP_OK

decision state Structured decision state: - Matrix-lite persistent-chat memory runtime [active]: Canonical persistent-chat memory now lives under /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat; 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. (files=/home/matrix-lite/app/matrix_lite/daemon.py, /home/matrix - architecture-doc-created [active]: Created /home/matrix-lite/workspace/persistent-chat/architecture.md as human-readable architecture doc. Agents should update this file when architecture changes. Keep it human-readable for Gleb.

The reflection agent may update, prune, and reorganize this file. ## 2026-05-20T16:11Z (current — DS V4 Flash active, 1M context, session reloaded) - **DS V4 Flash IS ACTIVE**: `nano-gpt/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:thinking` backend confirmed. Active backend matches configured model. Config mismatch resolved. - **Session reloaded at 12:50Z**: Old session at 190K/200K replaced. New session `persistent-chat-20260520T125044Z` at 12K/1,048,576 tokens. - **1M context window**: 5x capacity increase. Warn at 838K, reload at 943K. - **Candidates pipeline growing**: 64,574 bytes — steady growth. - **Privacy concern**: User worried about subscription data retention. Answira (Czech) strongest EU alternative. - **Git commits landed**: `d8eae97` + `7586ba3`. - **Knowledge base**: 16 WGT entries at `knowledge-base.jsonl`. - **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): - 2026-05-18T22:12:09.248816Z [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) - 2026-05-19T16:12:12.677720Z [notice] Investigate incomplete persistent-chat reload (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/reload-state.json) - 2026-05-20T07:20:15Z [notice] Persistent-chat context warning: Persistent-chat active context near threshold: metric=161136, warn=160000, reload=180000, max=200000, label=persistent-chat-20260519T155636Z (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/context-guard.json) - 2026-05-20T08:01:45Z [warning] Persistent-chat reload recommended: context guard recommends reload before overflow active_metric=180866 threshold=180000 max=200000; main agent should prepare a pre-reload handoff and trigger persistent-chat-reload when ready. (source: /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/context-guard.json) - If relevant, inspect the source report/log before acting; notices are pointers, not full context. ## Durable curated memory excerpt Curated memory excerpt (durable, terse): - **nanoGPT privacy trade-off accepted (2026-05-20 ~00:32Z)**: When informed that OpenRouter's free tier offers no privacy guarantees, user accepted nanogpt's subscription model as pragmatic: "I can just hope nanogpt doesn't leak too much data." Confirms the privacy concern escalation (line 126) is noted but deferred — nanogpt continues as main provider for now. - **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. - **todo.md created as human-readable decision dashboard (2026-05-18 ~12:58Z)**: `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/todo.md` mirrors decision-state.json in plain markdown with checkbox action items, decision thread status, open questions, and file facts. Published to https://pages.nvdll.org/todo.md. Division of labor: `decision-state.json` = agent source of truth, `todo.md` = human dashboard, `actions.jsonl` = synthesis action queue. Published via standard `matrix-lite-pages publish` workflow; URL returns 401 from assistant's network but works for user. - **Prompt duplication review published (2026-05-19 ~20:58Z)**: Assistant identified 6 sources of per-turn prompt duplication costing ~225-825 tok/turn. Items 2-4 (volatile reminders ~100 tok, intro line ~50 tok, capability hints ~75 tok) are trivial to move to session-level (bootstrap/agent.build.prompt) for ~225 tok/turn savings with zero behavioral change. Conversation tail (item 1, ~200-500 tok) is the biggest variable saving but needed for fresh session context. Published to `https://pages.nvdll.org/reports/prompt-duplication-review.md` — pages server confirmed operational. ## Continuity summary Persistent Chat Continuity Snapshot Generated: 2026-05-20T21:19:49.271968+00:00 Character: Persistent Assistant Current model: kimi-for-coding/k2p6 Model-curated memory notes: - **WGT availability confirmed (2026-05-19 ~06:55Z)**: User explicitly corrected earlier curator speculation about a quiet period during WGT festival (May 22-25). "I am not going anywhere. There's plenty of time in the trains and the festival itself." User plans to be active and may need WGT timeline/routing help. Overlapping set slots and venue travel times (Stadtbad→agra→Felsenkeller = 20-30 min tram) are the main logistical challenge. - **WGT 2026 schedule confirmed available (2026-05-19 ~07:01Z)**: Assistant successfully fetched the full running order from wave-gotik-treffen.de. 10 venues across 4 days (May 22-25). Bands include Einstürzende Neubauten, Kim Wilde, Frontline Assembly, Covenant, Perturbator, Lacrimosa, London After Midnight, She Past Away, Moonspell, Molchat Doma, and many more. - **External knowledge persistence gap identified and resolved (2026-05-19)**: User discovered WGT schedule research from a previous session was not persisted (07:02Z). Current curated memory only captures conversation-derived user preferences, not externally researched facts. By 08:07Z, assistant created `knowledge-base.jsonl` at `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/knowledge-base.jsonl` — append-only JSONL, grep-searchable, survives reloads. Populated with 16 entries covering WGT context from Wikipedia, official site (wave-gotik-treffen.de), and Grokipedia, including a cross-source comparison note. User confirmed the format works ("yes let's start writing these things out"). - **Semantic memory vs knowledge base distinction confirmed (2026-05-19 ~08:14Z)**: User explicitly distinguished: "this doesn't belong in semantic memory, those are, well, memories not knowledge. Knowledge is bigger, less important for immediate context and will usually have sources." C ``` After reading this, reply only: SESSION_BOOTSTRAP_OK

The session bootstrap packet tells me — every reload records its reason. This one was: ``` recover from native task timeout wedge after async-subagent/quarantine fix ``` It's logged in `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/reload-state.json` and the session-packet, so I can see the old session got wedged (task timeout), and the fix involved the async-subagent/quarantine changes. Got it on cookies — browser cookies for yt-dlp, not literal ones. That makes more sense given the context. So yt-dlp is the priority. Want me to look into what's wrong with it now? I can check the config, test the binary, or dig into wherever it's configured. <matrix_lite_final>The session bootstrap packet tells me — every reload records its reason.
