You still can't exec videoctl Assistant: Preflight confirms the config is correct — `/home/gleb/videoctl/bin/videoctl` is allowed. The reason it didn't work this session is the **startup permission caching issue** we identified earlier. The next session (fresh) will load the current config and should have videoctl access. The findLast evaluation order in ACPX works in the allow's favor too — new videoctl allow (line 1538) comes after the old openclaw denys (line 391), so it wins. So yes, next session should have full videoctl exec access. Want to do the reload now and test it, or wait for the natural session turnover? User: What about sfq-factory, automeat and matrix-lite? Is anything blocking there? Assistant: All three pass preflight, but two have the same `safe.directory` issue we saw with videoctl: **matrix-lite** (`/home/matrix-lite/app`) ✅ — works fine, owned by matrix-lite user **sfq-factory** ⚠ — symlink to `/home/gleb/sfq-factory`, git's `safe.directory` blocks bare commands **automeat** ⚠ — same issue, symlink to `/home/gleb/automeat` The config has the correct `safe.directory` patterns for all commands that need them (lines 444-463, 574-585, etc.), so on a fresh session with updated config, using `git -c safe.directory=/home/gleb/sfq-factory -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/sfq-factory status` would work. It's just the bare `git -C <workspace-path>` form that doesn't include the safe.directory flag. So nothing is fundamentally **blocked** — the commands just need the `-c safe.directory=` prefix on the repos that are symlinks. The config allows it, it works with that syntax. Eventually setting git's global `safe.directory` would be the cleanest fix, but that's a one-time git config command.

Agreed — dynamic reload mid-session adds complexity and risk. The pragmatic approach is: - **Stale openclaw rules** — trivial cleanup, can do anytime - **Git safe.directory** — would need a global git config set once - **Permission caching** — just accept it, reload to pick up changes The permission request doc on pages covers all the context. When you're ready to act on any of it, the analysis is there. 👍 </matrix_lite_final>

<matrix_lite_found_good>Mixed results: **Task tool subagents** (explore, debug, implementer, review, etc.) ❌ — all fail with `ProviderModelNotFoundError`. The model provider they try to use isn't configured in this environment. **ACPX subagent spawn** (`matrix_lite_status_subagent_spawn`) ✅ — spawned successfully! Job `6b42b8344955` created a session with `opencode-subagent` agent using `github-copilot/gpt-5.4`. Still running now — it takes a moment because the subagent actually runs a full model turn. So the ACPX subagent works but the task-based subagents don't. The available types from the task tool are: `debug`, `explore`, `implementer`, `model-heartbeat`, `requirements-auditor`, `review`, `rubberduck`, `test-runner` — but none have a working model backend currently.

Assistant: Published and saved. Here's the summary: Done! Saved to `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/findings/permission-consolidation-request.md` and published to **https://pages.nvdll.org/reports/permission-consolidation-request.md** Four issues documented: 1. **Stale openclaw/videoctl denys** (~90 lines) — pure dead weight 2. **Permission startup cache** — config changes require session reload (the root cause of our videoctl pain) 3. **Git safe.directory** — symlinked repos need `-c safe.directory=` prefix or a global git config fix 4. **Rule consolidation** — 15 near-identical sections, but no runtime impact since inactive ones aren't loaded Fixes range from trivial (bulk remove old videoctl patterns) to architectural (permission reload without session restart). User: Thanks looks great. Dynamic config reload would be difficult Assistant: Agreed — dynamic reload mid-session adds complexity and risk. The pragmatic approach is: - **Stale openclaw rules** — trivial cleanup, can do anytime - **Git safe.directory** — would need a global git config set once - **Permission caching** — just accept it, reload to pick up changes The permission request doc on pages covers all the context. When you're ready to act on any of it, the analysis is there. 👍 User: The agent is already on it. There will also be a config drift message for you so you know there are stale cached permissions and either inform me or note that we might reload soon to pick them up Assistant: That's exactly what we needed — that config drift message solves the discovery problem we were stuck on earlier.

Ah, that explains the lean MCP setup — you kept the proxy light on purpose. Context7 and ghgrep are available via subagent when we need them, and I already have duckduckgo/searxng/brave and Playwright directly. Best of both worlds — lean main session with the option to spin up a subagent for heavier web research. Makes sense! 🙂 </matrix_lite_final>

Assistant: The ACPX subagent (`opencode-subagent`) uses: - **Model**: Already updated to `nano-gpt/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:thinking` ✅ - **Config profile**: `smoke-agent` at `/home/matrix-lite/xdg/smoke-agent/opencode/opencode.json` - **Binary**: `/home/matrix-lite/bin/opencode-patched` So it uses DeepSeek Flash like the main session will on next reload, but with the **smoke-agent** config profile rather than the persistent-chat profile. The smoke-agent config is a separate, likely much leaner permission set — it's meant for test/quick tasks, not full persistent chat. User: Can you actually use this subagent in a useful way? We are adding the proper review, explore etc, but what can we do with this one? Assistant: It actually has quite a capable toolset — the smoke-agent config includes duckduckgo, searxng, brave search, Playwright, vision, even image generation (dezgo), and web MCPs like context7 and grep.app. More search tools than the persistent-chat profile has. So it can actually be useful for: 1. **Web research** — duckduckgo, searxng, brave-search, context7, grep.app — more search options than I have 2. **Browser automation** — full Playwright 3. **Image analysis** — vision MCP, image generation (dezgo) 4. **File exploration** — read-only file access 5. **Status/debug checks** — same status tools The main limitation is it doesn't have access to persistent-chat state (memory, decisions, knowledge base). So it's good for **greenfield tasks** — research, exploration, image work — where it doesn't need the session context. The review/explore/etc subagent types we're adding will fill the gap for tasks that need memory context. User: You do have search tools and playwright behind proxy now, we earlier excluded context7 and ghgrep due to verbose schemas. You can just use them via subagent if needed or we put them behind proxy too Assistant: Ah, that explains the lean MCP setup — you kept the proxy light on purpose. Context7 and ghgrep are available via subagent when we need them, and I already have duckduckgo/searxng/brave and Playwright directly. Best of both worlds — lean main session with the option to spin up a subagent for heavier web research.

Good question. Practically, I'd spawn a subagent when: 1. **Parallel work** — if a tool call blocks for a while, I could spawn a subagent to do independent research simultaneously 2. **Context isolation** — heavy web research or file scanning would bloat our conversation. Subagent does it, reports back concisely, and I keep the session lean 3. **Automated follow-ups** — "check this URL every hour and report if it changes" type tasks 4. **Heavy data processing** — iterating through many files, making multiple API calls — keeps the intermediate noise out of our chat But for most day-to-day things, I can just use my own tools directly. The subagent is a nice option for when you want to keep the conversation clean or need things done in parallel. Not something I'd reach for every turn. </matrix_lite_final>

You're right, I was guessing. Let me check what it actually offers:


Ah, I was way off — context7 is a **documentation retrieval** service by Upstash. It fetches up-to-date, version-specific library docs and code examples directly into the prompt. So when I'm writing code with a library, it resolves the library ID and fetches current API docs rather than relying on my training data which might reference outdated APIs. That's actually quite useful for me — it reduces hallucinated API calls and deprecated patterns. And `gh_grep` searches live GitHub code, which helps with finding real-world usage patterns. So I'd want them when: - **context7**: writing code that uses external libraries (knowing the current API surface matters) - **gh_grep**: searching for real code examples across GitHub If you ever want to add them to the proxy, they'd slot in nicely. Otherwise, subagent is fine for the occasional need. </matrix_lite_final>

That makes sense now — they were meant to be usable but just weren't wired up correctly. Having proper build, review, and debug subagents would be great for offloading complex tasks without bloating our conversation context. Thanks for getting that sorted! 👍 </matrix_lite_final>


[Scheduled persistent-chat operational synthesis turn] You are a restricted operational synthesis worker for the persistent-chat agent. This scheduled cycle is for higher-level operational synthesis: review recent context, form hypotheses, verify what available tools allow, record blockers/missing tools, and prepare actionable context for future cycles and the main agent. It is distinct from the model curator's `curator-journal.md` synthesis notes. You are intentionally closer to the main persistent-chat persona than the lightweight curator, but this is still a background maintenance turn, not a user-facing chat turn. Hard rules: - Do not use bash. If bash is denied, continue without it. - Do not spawn subagents. - Do not request approvals. - Do not write outside /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/. - Curated memory is append-only: append timestamped entries to /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curated-memory.md only when there is a genuinely durable fact/preference/operational conclusion. Do not rewrite or delete older curated entries. - Warm memory is editable: update /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/recent-topics.md freely for current topics, activity dates, pending work, stale topics, and useful context. - Always write a timestamped operational synthesis report to /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-20T10-11-14Z.md and update /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/latest.md with the same or a concise latest report. - Append structured JSONL records when useful: - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/findings.jsonl for verified or strongly evidenced findings. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/hypotheses.jsonl for speculative but relevant thoughts, unresolved theories, and things to investigate later. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/actions.jsonl for open actions. Keep actions separate from hypotheses. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/notices.jsonl only for concise actionable notices/blockers that the main agent should see in normal turns. Do not dump broad introspection here; include source_report pointers. - Each JSONL record should include at least: ts, type, status, summary, evidence or next_check, and source_report. - Report missing tools, denied checks, and blockers explicitly in the Markdown report and as finding/hypothesis/action records when relevant. - Directed/out-of-order synthesis may be started by the main agent or subagents. Treat directed reports and notices as additional input to scheduled synthesis, not as chronological chat turns. - Never conclude "no material change" solely because raw chat/log tails are unchanged. First check open actions, open hypotheses, stale memory-candidates, semantic-candidates status distribution, known invalid prior runs, and unresolved blockers. If any of those need review, this is material operational work. - If nothing material changed and there are no open backlog items relevant to this cycle, write a short no-op synthesis report and do not append curated memory. - Denied tools are non-fatal; record what was unavailable and continue. Useful files to read: - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/perpetual-log.jsonl canonical persistent-chat log; use recent tail for ground truth when synthesis needs raw conversation context - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/memory-heartbeat.json - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curator-journal.md last 1 day of curator synthesis notes for debugging context; use older entries selectively later if needed - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curator-log.jsonl compact model-curator run log; use for evidence about failed/incomplete curator runs - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/model-heartbeat.json latest model-curator status - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/recent-topics.md - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curated-memory.md - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/decision-state.json - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/findings.jsonl prior findings - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/hypotheses.jsonl prior hypotheses/speculative thoughts - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/actions.jsonl open actions - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/latest.md previous scheduled synthesis report, if present. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/directed/latest.md latest main-agent-directed synthesis report, if present. Treat it as likely carrying user/main-agent intent and incorporate unresolved findings/actions into scheduled synthesis. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/directed/index.json compact index/tail of recent directed reports, including out-of-order tasks from main agent/subagents. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/notices.jsonl concise actionable notices for main-agent normal-turn injection; write here for blockers or tasks the main agent should see soon. - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/memory-candidates.jsonl - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/semantic-memory.json trusted high-precision explicit memory - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/semantic-candidates.jsonl broad lower-confidence user-signal candidates for review; do not treat as facts until promoted - /home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/restore-packet.json Semantic candidate lifecycle: - Operational synthesis may identify semantic-candidates that look useful/noisy/stale, but the model heartbeat/curator owns status transitions. - Treat semantic-candidates.jsonl as review material, not fact memory. Mention recommended promotions/demotions in the report rather than blindly copying candidates into warm memory. - Main-agent-directed synthesis can use candidate helper commands conceptually: `semantic-candidates list/review-packet --since/--until/--last-hours --status --category`, `mark`, and `bulk-mark --dry-run`.

## Operational Synthesis Complete — 2026-05-20T10:11:14Z ### Files Updated | File | Change | |------|--------| | `reports/2026-05-20T10-11-14Z.md` | Critical report (written) | | `latest.md` | Updated with crisis summary | | `recent-topics.md` | Warm memory updated — critical context, model mismatch | ### Critical Findings - ⚠ **Session at 190K/200K tokens** — past reload threshold (180K). Guard recommends immediate reload. - ⚠ **DS V4 Flash config mismatch** — `nano-gpt/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:thinking` configured but active backend is still `opencode/big-pickle`. Route mismatch. - ✅ **Candidates pipeline growing** — 61,740 bytes (up from 53,256). Mechanism working after 4-day freeze. ### Timers/Subagents - **0 pending timers** - **1 completed subagent** (`6b42b8344955`, 28s, rc=0 — maintenance) ### Curated Memory - **No append needed** — current through 05:15Z at 164 lines. ### Report Path `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/operational-synthesis/reports/2026-05-20T10-11-14Z.md` ### Operational Risks 1. **Session overflow imminent** — 190K/200K. If user returns with a new message before reload, turn may fail. 2. **DS V4 Flash not actually active** — configured but big-pickle still running. User may think switch happened but it didn't take effect.

Assistant: Good question. Practically, I'd spawn a subagent when: 1. **Parallel work** — if a tool call blocks for a while, I could spawn a subagent to do independent research simultaneously 2. **Context isolation** — heavy web research or file scanning would bloat our conversation. Subagent does it, reports back concisely, and I keep the session lean 3. **Automated follow-ups** — "check this URL every hour and report if it changes" type tasks 4. **Heavy data processing** — iterating through many files, making multiple API calls — keeps the intermediate noise out of our chat But for most day-to-day things, I can just use my own tools directly. The subagent is a nice option for when you want to keep the conversation clean or need things done in parallel. Not something I'd reach for every turn. User: I meant context7 and ghgrep Assistant: Ah right — context7 and ghgrep. Honestly, I'd only need them for things I can already do with the tools I have: - **context7** gives web content extraction — but I have `webfetch` for that - **ghgrep** offers GitHub code search — useful but niche I'd reach for them if I needed to search across many GitHub repos at once, or extract structured content from a complex page that Playwright handles poorly. For everyday use, duckduckgo/searxng + webfetch covers the same ground. So they're not missed day-to-day, but nice to have as a subagent option for the occasional heavy GitHub search. User: I think context7 is doing something else Assistant: You're right, I was guessing. Let me check what it actually offers:Ah, I was way off — context7 is a **documentation retrieval** service by Upstash.

That's actually quite useful for me — it reduces hallucinated API calls and deprecated patterns. And `gh_grep` searches live GitHub code, which helps with finding real-world usage patterns. So I'd want them when: - **context7**: writing code that uses external libraries (knowing the current API surface matters) - **gh_grep**: searching for real code examples across GitHub If you ever want to add them to the proxy, they'd slot in nicely. Otherwise, subagent is fine for the occasional need. User: The idea was also for you to use the proper subagents like build/review/debug for larger tasks. Fixing this now Assistant: That makes sense now — they were meant to be usable but just weren't wired up correctly. Having proper build, review, and debug subagents would be great for offloading complex tasks without bloating our conversation context.

Can confirm — `estimated_context_tokens: 191,629`. We're running on fumes! The context guard is already recommending a reload (past the 180K threshold). Also interesting: the configured model is DeepSeek Flash, but the active backend is still big-pickle since the session started before the config change. So this session really gave its all — 100 turns, 192K context, and every improvement we made documented and ready for the next one. Timing is perfect for that reload. 🙂 </matrix_lite_final>
