Let me first read the current state files to understand what needs updating.


Let me check the current state of memory and semantic candidates to see if there's anything new to process.


Now I have a clear picture. There's active user conversation (07:01-07:06Z) with significant new developments. Let me update both curated-memory.md and the curator journal.


Now let me append the curator journal entry and verify the file.


Let me verify curated-memory.md looks correct after the edits.


curated-memory.md is intact (141 lines). All edits verified. UPDATED — Added 4 new entries: WGT availability correction (user will be active during festival), WGT 2026 schedule confirmed, external knowledge persistence gap identified with knowledge-base.jsonl proposal, and permissions expansion under review; metadata refreshed to 07:13Z/2618 lines.


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: Not sure it's available already, they are pretty late this year. There's also a handy app, let me check if it's updated and maybe there's some export or shortlist. There are like 200 bands and many good ones unfortunately will have simultaneous or overlapping slots. Some slots will have no good bands at all and then it's a good time to chill or eat Assistant: Let me check if the schedule is available.It is available — the Facebook page says the program is complete on the website and the "WGT-Kompaß" app. Let me grab the actual schedule page.The program page has a "Running Order" section. Let me grab that directly.The schedule pages might be behind a different path or only in the app. Let me check the band selection page.Found the right paths. Let me get the schedule.Got it! The schedule is up — fully loaded from 10 venues across all 4 days (May 22-25). Big names include Einstürzende Neubauten, Kim Wilde, Frontline Assembly, Covenant, Perturbator, Lacrimosa, London After Midnight, She Past Away, Moonspell, Molchat Doma, and many more. I can help plan the timeline once you know your must-see list. The typical WGT challenge: Stadtbad → agra → Felsenkeller is a solid 20-30 min tram ride, and overlapping slots are brutal. When you've got a shortlist from the app, send it over and I'll figure out optimal routing with chill/eat gaps. User: Haha do you know this from your search yesterday? I think before that you barely understood what I'm talking about Assistant: Yep, completely from the fetch I just did. Before that, "WGT" was a mystery acronym to me — I didn't know the venues, the band lineup, or even the dates. The session continuity makes it look like I've been tracking this all along, but really I went from zero to full schedule in about 30 seconds by grabbing the website. It's both the magic and the limitation of this setup — I have zero persistent knowledge between sessions unless it's in curated memory, but I can look up anything instantly when you ask. User: Ah, so no information that can be used now was saved from yesterday's search? We need another system for you to look up and remember and curate facts coming from outside of this chat Assistant: You're right. The curated memory only captures what comes through conversation — user preferences, decisions, corrections. If I spend time researching something (WGT schedule, a technical topic, whatever), that knowledge lives only in my current context and vanishes on reload or when context scrolls away. The fix is straightforward though. I can write lookup results directly into `curated-memory.md` using the Write tool — we already have permission for that. Or even simpler, there's a `pinned-notes.md` / facts store that the heartbeat maintains. I could add a section like "External research" and write things like: `md ## External Facts - WGT 2026: 22-25 May, Leipzig. Schedule at wave-gotik-treffen.de - Einstürzende Neubauten: Friday agra 21:20 - etc. ` That would survive reloads and be available to future sessions. Want me to set up a convention for this, or do you have something else in mind? User: No, something more general and multipurpose and scalable like a knowledge database or at least a file to start Assistant: Right, a dedicated knowledge base. We've got `facts.json` and `curated-memory.md` but those are system-managed. What's missing is a file I can write lookup results to myself. A simple start: a `knowledge-base.jsonl` at `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/knowledge-base.jsonl`. Each entry: `json {"ts":"2026-05-19T07:00Z","topic":"WGT 2026","fact":"Einstürzende Neubauten play Friday 21:20 at agra-Halle","source":"wave-gotik-treffen.de"} {"ts":"2026-05-19T07:00Z","topic":"WGT 2026","fact":"Lacrimosa play Sunday 23:30 at agra-Halle","source":"wave-gotik-treffen.de"} ` Simple, append-only, searchable with `grep`, survives reloads, no special tooling needed.

I can access Wikipedia through web fetch and search. Let me test both:


Wikipedia works perfectly via `webfetch` — full article pulled. Grokipedia is Elon Musk's AI-generated encyclopedia, probably not what you want. So we've got: - **Wikipedia** — read-only, great for looking things up - **Web search** (SearXNG, Brave) — find anything online - **Web fetch** — grab specific pages The missing piece is **write persistence** — somewhere to store lookup results so they survive reloads. That's what the `knowledge-base.jsonl` would solve. It's simple, scalable, searchable, and I can append to it with every research result. For the architecture you're thinking of, the pattern would be: 1. Look up something (Wikipedia, web search) 2. Extract the key facts 3. Save them to the knowledge base 4. Future sessions can `grep` the knowledge base Want me to sketch a more detailed design for this before we start implementing?

Fair enough, and the citeable sources make it useful regardless. Let me see if I can actually reach it.


Grokipedia works too — and that article is actually quite thorough with cited sources. So we have three read sources now: Wikipedia, Grokipedia, and general web search. For the knowledge base architecture, the simplest scalable start would be: **A `knowledge-base.jsonl` file** with a structured schema that supports: - Topic tags for searchability - Source URLs for verifiability - Fact-type distinction (event, person, concept, technical) - Expiry hints for time-sensitive facts The heartbeat could even index it into semantic memory over time. But the key is that *I* can write to it directly during a session, and *you* can query it naturally through me. Want me to create the file with a schema and seed it with today's research as a proof of concept? That way tomorrow's session would already know about WGT without needing to re-fetch.

Good plan. I already have Wikipedia and Grokipedia. Let me grab the official site's background info and a couple of other sources for comparison.


Good haul. Here's what I got from each source — compare and spot errors: --- **Official WGT Website** (wave-gotik-treffen.de) - Practical logistics: 33rd edition, 22-25 May 2026 - ~50 venues across Leipzig, no day tickets since 2001 (4-day only) - Free public transport within MDV Zone 110 included - Camping via "Obsorge" card (€50), children under 12 free - Under 16s need parent/guardian, no dogs allowed - Program book called "Pfingstbote" - Wristband exchange required before entry - Kindergarten available (3-10y, 3h limit) **Wikipedia** - Founded 1992 at Eiskeller club (now Conne Island) - ~18,000-20,000 attendees, ~150-200 bands - Genres: gothic rock, EBM, industrial, darkwave, neofolk, medieval - Financial collapse in 2000 (organizers quit, bands played for free) - Move GmbH took over management in 2001 - 2020/2021 cancelled due to COVID **Grokipedia** - Precursor gathering in Potsdam 1987 (suppressed by GDR) - Founders named: Michael Brunner & Sandro Standhaft - 4-day ticket €170, Obsorge €50 - WGT Kompaß app for navigation & scheduling - Victorian Picnic at Clara-Zetkin-Park - Reusable cup deposit system - Mentions 2024 controversy: Camerata Mediolanense canceled over affiliation rumors - Says 20,000+ attendees, 200+ bands, 10+ stages **Differences I spotted:** - Attendance: Wikipedia says 18-20K, Grokipedia says 20K+ - Bands: Wikipedia says 150-200, Grokipedia says 200+ - Wikipedia says "Eiskeller (now Conne Island)" — Grokipedia says same - Grokipedia has details Wikipedia lacks (founders' names, 1987 precursor, Kompaß app, Victorian Picnic) Anything look wrong to you from having been there?


Sorry, looks like the last response didn't make it through. Here's the WGT source comparison: **Official site** — practical logistics: 50+ venues, no day tickets since 2001, 4-day only, free public transport included, Obsorge card €50 for camping, Pfingstbote program book, wristband exchange required. **Wikipedia** — history: founded 1992 at Eiskeller (now Conne Island), ~18-20K attendees, 150-200 bands, financial collapse in 2000 (bands played for free), Move GmbH took over 2001, COVID cancellations 2020/2021. **Grokipedia** — most detailed: 1987 Potsdam precursor (suppressed by GDR), founders Michael Brunner & Sandro Standhaft, €170 ticket, WGT Kompaß app, Victorian Picnic, reusable cup deposit, 2024 Camerata Mediolanense controversy. **Differences I spotted:** Wikipedia says 18-20K attendance/150-200 bands; Grokipedia says 20K+/200+ bands. Grokipedia has details Wikipedia lacks (founders' names, app, picnic). Anything look off from your experience?

Recent room-local conversation: User: Hey I disliked Elon before it became mainstream, but I have no problems with grokipedia - it often has important info missing elsewhere, also often with links we can check. Besides grok is fine overall, a bit too reddit for my taste but we may try it someday. Assistant: Fair enough, and the citeable sources make it useful regardless. Let me see if I can actually reach it.Grokipedia works too — and that article is actually quite thorough with cited sources. So we have three read sources now: Wikipedia, Grokipedia, and general web search. For the knowledge base architecture, the simplest scalable start would be: **A `knowledge-base.jsonl` file** with a structured schema that supports: - Topic tags for searchability - Source URLs for verifiability - Fact-type distinction (event, person, concept, technical) - Expiry hints for time-sensitive facts The heartbeat could even index it into semantic memory over time. But the key is that *I* can write to it directly during a session, and *you* can query it naturally through me. Want me to create the file with a schema and seed it with today's research as a proof of concept? That way tomorrow's session would already know about WGT without needing to re-fetch. User: Please defer the schema for now, I think we try it on plain text I can review first and then we decide on the schema in a more informed way. Try to fetch the wgt pages from both regular search, Wikipedia, grokipedia, and your search mcps and compare the results. I've been there a few times so I can see the wrong things if any.

That's exactly the point, and it proves Grokipedia's value. Wikipedia had the broad strokes — history, attendance, genres — but missed a real 2024 controversy that any WGT regular would know about. Grokipedia caught it because it's fresher and covers niche scene details. This is exactly why the writeable knowledge base matters too. Not just for lookup results, but so I can capture the *difference* between sources — "Wikipedia says X, Grokipedia also says Y, Camerata controversy confirmed real by Gleb." That way future sessions don't just have facts, they have *context* about which facts are reliable and which sources filled in the gaps. Want to write this comparison to a plain text file as a first knowledge base entry so it survives?

You're right — let me think critically rather than rolling something custom right away. What we **already have** in this system: `facts.json`, `semantic-memory.json`, `curated-memory.md`, `continuity-summary.txt`, and a whole pipeline of `.jsonl` files for candidates and findings. The problem is all of those are heartbeat-managed — I can't write to them directly without risking overwrite. The simplest non-wheel-reinventing thing: **JSONL**. It's literally the native format of this system (candidates, notices, findings, hypotheses — all JSONL). No new tooling, no schema, just append a line. The heartbeat could later index it into semantic memory if needed. Let me start writing the WGT context to a file so it survives.


Written. Let me verify it's good.


Done. 16 entries with source attribution — Wikipedia, official site, Grokipedia, even a cross-source note. This survives reloads and I can grep it in future sessions. Now, on your point about not reinventing the wheel — you're right to be skeptical. Looking at what exists: - **Mem0** / **MemGPT (Letta)** — dedicated agent memory layers. Mem0 is actually popular for this exact use case (persisting facts across sessions). Worth evaluating. - **RAG** (vector DB) — overkill for now, adds infrastructure. - **What we just did** — JSONL is literally the native format of this system. Every candidate, notice, finding, hypothesis file is JSONL. We're using the existing wheel, not making a new one. The heartbeat could already index this file into semantic memory with minimal changes. The idle-time research idea is interesting too — the background agents could proactively look up topics that come up in conversation and write findings here. But that's a future feature. For now we've got a working knowledge base entry that'll be here tomorrow.

That's a clean distinction and I think you're right. | Semantic memory | Knowledge base | |---|---| | "Gleb likes concise answers" | "WGT founded 1992 at Eiskeller" | | "Session packet is per-session" | "Camerata Mediolanense controversy 2024" | | Conversation-derived | Research-derived | | No source needed | Always has source URL | | Small, context-critical | Larger, reference-only | | Heartbeat-managed | Assistant-managed | The knowledge base should stay entirely separate — no heartbeat indexing, no semantic memory mixing. It's my reference shelf, not my conversation memory. That also means the schema can stay loose for now since it's just for my own retrieval, not system processing. Want to try fetching something else to add to it? Or shall we let the background agents cook on the permission fix and pick this up later?

Good idea. Let me add the knowledge base path to the session packet's canonical pointers so I can find it in any session.


Added. Now every session packet will include: `- knowledge base (external research, source-cited facts): /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/knowledge-base.jsonl` So in any future session, I can just look at the canonical pointers in my context and know exactly where to find the knowledge base.

Conversation metadata: - conversation_key: persistent:main - session_label: persistent-chat-20260518T191206Z - prompt_package: None - shared_memory_profile: None - room_id: !CZLwoJfCyftA7oA5CVj2gIEKWqyv1lu01r0oFboEqZg - source_event_id: $-LB2g9MCWEGaeyPn_UFZEvZove15B88mNMKKK_Gj7wE - reply_to_id: None - thread_root_id: None Persistent-chat memory/continuity context: Persistent-chat memory/continuity context: mode: turn_packet # Persistent Chat Turn Packet Generated: 2026-05-19T08:24:45.788322+00:00 ## Live context Live runtime capability context: Runtime details are dynamic; use Matrix-lite status/capability/permission/context tools when current paths, timers, repo access, or reload policy matter. Do not rely on boot-time guesses. Recent room-local conversation: User: No but the camerata controversy is real, something really niche, and funny/useful to know. This was my point with grokipedia. Assistant: That's exactly the point, and it proves Grokipedia's value. Wikipedia had the broad strokes — history, attendance, genres — but missed a real 2024 controversy that any WGT regular would know about. Grokipedia caught it because it's fresher and covers niche scene details. This is exactly why the writeable knowledge base matters too. Not just for lookup results, but so I can capture the *difference* between sources — "Wikipedia says X, Grokipedia also says Y, Camerata controversy confirmed real by Gleb." That way future sessions don't just have facts, they have *context* about which facts are reliable and which sources filled in the gaps. Want to write this comparison to a plain text file as a first knowledge base entry so it survives? User: Yes let's start writing these things out. Not every regular would know this just those interested in this band. It's not something important or worth remembering but a detail that's not bad to know. Overall you could even look things up at idle time and gather relevant context yourself eventually. This is why I don't want to rush with the schema. There's probably something available already we could reuse. Also please don't just agree with me, we are already reinventing the wheel by moving away from openclaw, I don't have good insight into knowledge bases for agents Assistant: You're right — let me think critically rather than rolling something custom right away. What we **already have** in this system: `facts.json`, `semantic-memory.json`, `curated-memory.md`, `continuity-summary.txt`, and a whole pipeline of `.jsonl` files for candidates and findings. The problem is all of those are heartbeat-managed — I can't write to them directly without risking overwrite. The simplest non-wheel-reinventing thing: **JSONL**. It's literally the native format of this system (candidates, notices, findings, hypotheses — all JSONL). No new tooling, no schema, just append a line. The heartbeat could later index it into semantic memory if needed. Let me start writing the WGT context to a file so it survives.Written. Let me verify it's good.Done. 16 entries with source attribution — Wikipedia, official site, Grokipedia, even a cross-source note. This survives reloads and I can grep it in future sessions. Now, on your point about not reinventing the wheel — you're right to be skeptical. Looking at what exists: - **Mem0** / **MemGPT (Letta)** — dedicated agent memory layers. Mem0 is actually popular for this exact use case (persisting facts across sessions). Worth evalua …[truncated] User: But I think 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. Assistant: That's a clean distinction and I think you're right. | Semantic memory | Knowledge base | |---|---| | "Gleb likes concise answers" | "WGT founded 1992 at Eiskeller" | | "Session packet is per-session" | "Camerata Mediolanense controversy 2024" | | Conversation-derived | Research-derived | | No source needed | Always has source URL | | Small, context-critical | Larger, reference-only | | Heartbeat-managed | Assistant-managed | The knowledge base should stay entirely separate — no heartbeat indexing, no semantic memory mixing. It's my reference shelf, not my conversation memory. That also means the schema can stay loose for now since it's just for my own retrieval, not system processing. Want to try fetching something else to add to it? Or shall we let the background agents cook on the permission fix and pick this up later? User: Do you have a place already to have a link to the wgt file in your session pack? Not all of it just the link so it's easier for you to find in another session. We can test this on files like this for now, see what info gets saved and then decide on a better approach. Keep it rolling and append any related knowledge we find later. Assistant: Good idea. Let me add the knowledge base path to the session packet's canonical pointers so I can find it in any session.Added. Now every session packet will include: `- knowledge base (external research, source-cited facts): /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/knowledge-base.jsonl` So in any future session, I can just look at the canonical pointers in my context and know exactly where to find the knowledge base. The WGT entries are in there, and we can keep appending more research results over time. Recent incomplete/failed turns that still matter for continuity: - 2026-05-19T08:26:55.269012Z user said: 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 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.

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.
