<matrix_lite_final>You're right — let's keep it simple and pattern-based. **Proposed permission additions:** **1. Git commit (generalizable):** ```json "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit -m *": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit *": "deny" // keeps blocking --amend, --no-verify, etc. ``` This allows basic commits with messages but still blocks dangerous flags. The deny rule stays as catch-all for anything with flags. **2. Script execution with env vars (generalizable):** ```json "CONFIRM=APPLY /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/*": "allow", "/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/*": "deny" // without CONFIRM ``` Pattern: `CONFIRM=<value> <approved-script-path>` = allow. This makes the confirmation gate a permission primitive, not just a script argument. Any script in `app/scripts/` can use this pattern. **3. Pipe/chaining (generalizable):** Instead of allowing arbitrary pipes, allow specific safe patterns: ```json "rg -C* * /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/*": "allow", "rg -i * /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/*": "allow", "jq * /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/*": "allow", ``` These are the actual patterns I needed tonight. The `*` in the middle catches flags/args, and the path prefix restricts scope. **This avoids:** - One-off wrappers - Over-engineered validation scripts - Broad `*` allows **It provides:** - Pattern-based safety (path-restricted, flag-restricted) - Reusable for future scripts in `app/scripts/` - Clear audit trail (permission rules show exactly what's allowed) Want me to draft the exact JSON snippets for the opencode config? </matrix_lite_final>

<matrix_lite_final>Confirmed — no env var patterns exist in the permissions. `CONFIRM=` is not allowed. Here's the **generalizable permission proposal** covering tonight's blockers and future similar cases: ```json // === APP REPO GIT === "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app status": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app status *": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app diff": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app diff *": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app log": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app log *": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app show": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app show *": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app add *": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit -m *": "allow", // === VETTED SCRIPTS (any args) === "/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/*": "allow", "/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/* *": "allow", "/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/* * *": "allow", "/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/* * * *": "allow", "/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/* * * * *": "allow", "/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/* * * * * *": "allow", // === STATE/LOG INSPECTION === "rg * /home/matrix-lite/state/*": "allow", "rg * /home/matrix-lite/.acpx/*": "allow", "rg * /home/matrix-lite/.local/share/opencode/*": "allow", "jq * /home/matrix-lite/state/*": "allow", "jq * /home/matrix-lite/.acpx/*": "allow", "cat /home/matrix-lite/state/*": "allow", "head * /home/matrix-lite/state/*": "allow", "tail * /home/matrix-lite/state/*": "allow", "wc * /home/matrix-lite/state/*": "allow", // === WORKSPACE REPOS === "git -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/* status": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/* status *": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/* diff": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/* diff *": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/* log": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/* log *": "allow", ``` **What this covers:** - ✅ Git commit to app repo (basic commits only, no `--amend` or flags) - ✅ Any script in `app/scripts/` (vetted, bounded) - ✅ `rg`/`jq`/`cat`/`head`/`tail`/`wc` on any state/log file - ✅ Git read-only ops on any workspace repo **What it doesn't cover (intentionally):** - ❌ Pipes (`|`), chaining (`&&`, `;`) — still blocked by precheck - ❌ Env vars (`CONFIRM=APPLY`) — not allowed - ❌ Git commit with flags (`--amend`, `--no-verify`) - ❌ Writing to arbitrary paths outside state/ **For the sync script:** Since env vars are blocked, I'd modify it to accept `--apply` as a CLI arg.

We test the main agent (you) after next reload Assistant: Patched the reflection agent prompt too. **What I changed:** - Replaced `model nano-gpt/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:thinking` with `current model is in the injected session packet, not this prompt` - Added the same **Operational verification** and **Tool selection** blocks **Verification:** - ✅ No hardcoded model references remain in any app config file - ✅ Changes staged in git **Summary of all changes ready for commit:** 1. `persistent-chat.opencode.json` — main agent prompt + tool selection 2. `persistent-chat-reflection.opencode.json` — reflection agent prompt fix 3. `matrix-lite-sync-repo-to-live` — preserve ownership on sync When you commit and sync, all agents will boot with correct model-agnostic prompts and the verification/tool-selection habits. User: Do I have to commit again? How do we fix permissions? Assistant: Good news — **everything is already committed and synced.** Both files have the updated prompts: - ✅ Repo: `/home/matrix-lite/app/config/opencode/persistent-chat-reflection.opencode.json` - ✅ Live: `/home/matrix-lite/xdg/persistent-chat/opencode/opencode.json` Your last commit (`fix: stabilize persistent chat runtime`) included everything. No need to commit again. **For fixing permissions going forward:** The two main blockers we hit tonight: 1. **Git commit to app repo** — currently denied by `"git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit *": "deny"` - *Risk*: The app repo controls the daemon, so unrestricted commit access is dangerous - *Compromise*: Allow commits only to specific safe paths (like `config/opencode/*.json` and `scripts/*`), but not to `daemon.py` or systemd units 2. **Bash wildcard deny** — the `*` catch-all blocks many useful commands - *What works*: `rg`, `jq`, `ls`, `cat` (these have explicit allows) - *What doesn't*: Pipes (`|`), command chaining (`&&`, `;`), environment variables in commands (`CONFIRM=APPLY ...`) - *Compromise*: Allow specific safe patterns like `CONFIRM=APPLY /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/*` for approved scripts Want me to draft …[truncated] User: 1. You should just be able to commit, we can revert changes to daemon before restarting it 2. Some chaining should already be allowed, env vars probably not. It will be some extremely over engineered wrapper again, please propose a generalizable version Assistant: You're right — let's keep it simple and pattern-based. **Proposed permission additions:** **1. Git commit (generalizable):** `json "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit -m *": "allow", "git -C /home/matrix-lite/app commit *": "deny" // keeps blocking --amend, --no-verify, etc. ` This allows basic commits with messages but still blocks dangerous flags. The deny rule stays as catch-all for anything with flags. **2. Script execution with env vars (generalizable):** `json "CONFIRM=APPLY /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/*": "allow", "/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/*": "deny" // without CONFIRM ` Pattern: `CONFIRM=<value> <approved-script-path>` = allow. This makes the confirmation gate a permission primitive, not just a script argument. Any script in `app/scripts/` can use this pattern. **3. Pipe/chaining (generalizable):** Instead of allowing arbitrary pipes, allow specific safe patterns: `json "rg -C* * /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/*": "allow", "rg -i * /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/*": "allow", "jq * /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/*": "allow", ` These are the actual patterns I needed tonight.

<matrix_lite_final>Pipes are powerful — and that's exactly why they're blocked. **The risk:** ```bash rg pattern /safe/path | sh # allowed command → arbitrary execution rg pattern /safe/path | cat > /etc/passwd # allowed command → write anywhere ``` Any allowed command becomes a gateway to arbitrary execution if piped. The permission system can't statically verify what comes after the pipe. **The precheck reality:** The `&&` denial I hit was a **shell-safety precheck**, not a pattern match: ``` "reason": "and-chained command", "match_kind": "precheck" ``` Pipes likely have the same precheck. Even if I added `"rg * | *": "allow"` to the config, the precheck would veto it before pattern matching. **Do I actually need pipes?** For 90% of my workflow, no: - `rg pattern /path` — standalone, returns matches - `jq '.field' file.json` — standalone, returns filtered JSON - `git log` — standalone Pipes are mostly for post-processing (formatting, counting, filtering). `jq` covers most JSON post-processing. `rg` has built-in context flags (`-C`, `-A`, `-B`). **The honest trade-off:** If you want pipes, the safe way is allowing specific bounded patterns: ```json "rg * /safe/path | head -n 20": "allow", "rg * /safe/path | wc -l": "allow", ``` But each pattern is a one-off. General pipe allow (`* | *`) defeats the permission model entirely. I excluded pipes from the proposal because they're blocked at the precheck layer, not the pattern layer. We'd need to change the precheck rules or add specific safe pipe patterns one by one. </matrix_lite_final>
