The permissions are configured for the current agent, and a new session loads them fresh, so there shouldn't be a caching issue. Let me do a quick sanity check on the critical paths:Everything looks good for the next session. The preflight confirms the model switch command is allowed, and since it'll be a fresh session, it'll load the current config without caching issues.

Permissions are ready for the next session. No stale caching issue since a fresh session loads the config fresh. Key checks:

- ✅ Model switch command (`npx acpx set model *`) is allowed in the config
- ✅ Wrapper script has correct `OPENCODE_MODEL`
- ✅ Config file has `model: nano-gpt/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:thinking` in all sections
- ✅ Context guard will auto-adjust to 1M context

The switch should be seamless on next reload. If you need to switch before the natural reload (e.g., big-pickle rate limits get too painful), the `matrix_lite_status_switch_bot_model` tool can do it programmatically — it updates the wrapper script and reloads the session in one step.

[thinking] The user wants me to verify that the permission config will work correctly for the next session (with DeepSeek Flash). The issue earlier was that the current session cached old permissions at startup. For the next session to pick up updated permissions, the config file needs to have the right rules and the session needs to be fresh.

           Let me check:
           1. The current permission config has the videoctl allows we added
           2. The `npx --yes acpx` model switching commands are allowed
           3. Any permission-related changes that might affect the next session

           But actually, the user's concern might be more about whether the current permission rules in the opencode config will work with the new model. Let me check the key permissions.

[thinking] Good — the model switching commands are allowed. But the user asked about whether permissions are configured properly for the NEXT session. The key issue we had was that the current session loaded cached permissions at startup. The next session will be fresh, so it'll load the current config file.

           Let me also check if there are any stale deny rules that might block things the new model needs. The main concern is:
           1. The `nano-gpt/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:thinking` model needs the `npx` commands to work
           2. Any DeepSeek-specific API calls might need different permissions
           3. The wrapper script is already updated

           Actually, the permissions are for bash/file tools, not for model API calls. The model API calls go through ACPX/OpenCode, not through the permission system. So the permission config doesn't affect model selection.

           But let me check one thing — the `matrix_lite_status_switch_b...

We also need to check if the permissions are configured properly and will be picked up by the next session


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?

[thinking] The user is saying the repo permissions are the concern - specifically that I still can't execute videoctl. This has been an ongoing issue this session - the videoctl binary permission changes were added to the config but the current session cached the old permissions at startup.

           The key question is: will the next session (with DeepSeek Flash) be able to run videoctl?

[thinking] I can see the issue. There are still old `/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl` deny rules in the main permission section. And the videoctl binary at `/home/gleb/videoctl/bin/videoctl` — let me check if there's an allow for the new path in the main bash section.

           Looking at line 391: `"/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/bin/videoctl *": "deny"` — old path, denied.
           Line 671: `"/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/bin/videoctl": "deny"` — old path, denied (without args).

           But I need to check if there's an allow for `/home/gleb/videoctl/bin/videoctl` (new path) in the main bash section (not just the agent sections).

           Let me search specifically in the main bash section (lines 201-2000) for the new videoctl binary allow.

           So the main bash section DOES have the allow for the new path (lines 1537-1538). But the `*`: "deny" catch-all at line 202 is evaluated FIRST with findLast evaluation, and the allows at line 1537-1538 should be found AFTER it (since findLast goes backward).

           Wait, with `findLast`, line 1538 (allow) would be checked BEFORE line 202 (deny) since 1538 > 202. So the allow should match first.

           But the problem is that the CURRENT session cached the permissions BEFORE the new allows were added (the session started before the config was updated at 19:15 yesterday). So the current session doesn't have those allows in its cached permissions.

No, I mean the repo permissions. You still can't exec videoctl


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.

[thinking] Same issue as before:
           - **sfq-factory** and **automeat** are symlinks from `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/` to `/home/gleb/` paths, and git's `safe.directory` check blocks them because the repos are owned by the gleb user's path.
           - **matrix-lite** (`/home/matrix-lite/app`) works fine — it's a local repo owned by the matrix-lite user.

           The preflight says allowed, but git itself (not the permission system) blocks because of `safe.directory`. This is the same issue we saw with videoctl earlier. There are `-c safe.directory=` patterns in the config that should allow these, but they don't match the simple `git -C <path> status` command.

The issue is that the simple `git -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/sfq-factory status` command doesn't include `-c safe.directory=...`. The git command itself refuses because the repo's actual path is `/home/gleb/sfq-factory` (the symlink target), not `/home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/sfq-factory`.

           So the allowed patterns with safe.directory would work if used, but the simple `git -C <workspace-path> status` doesn't work because git checks the resolved path ownership.

           The actual allowed commands that WOULD work are:
           - `git -c safe.directory=/home/gleb/sfq-factory -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/sfq-factory status`
           - `git -c safe.directory=/home/gleb/automeat -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/automeat status`

           But the simpler `git -C /home/matrix-lite/workspace/repos/sfq-factory status` doesn't include safe.directory...
<matrix_lite_found_good>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.
</matrix_lite_found_good>

What about sfq-factory, automeat and matrix-lite? Is anything blocking there?


All 90 stale entries are the same pattern — the old `/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/` path. There are three variants repeated across all 15 permission sections:

1. **`/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/**": "deny"** — directory-level deny (45 appearances)
2. **`/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/bin/videoctl": "deny"** — binary deny without args (15 appearances)
3. **`/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/bin/videoctl *": "deny"** — binary deny with args (15 appearances)
4. Various `git -C /home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl ...` commands (15 appearances)

Total: **~90 stale lines**, all for the old videoctl path. Since the binary moved to `/home/gleb/videoctl/bin/videoctl` and the `*` catch-all deny covers any unmatched paths, these are purely redundant. Removing them wouldn't affect capabilities at all.

No other stale `/home/gleb/openclaw/` paths were found — the `openclaw-tools` repo lives at `/home/gleb/openclaw-tools/` (with dash, not slash), which is a separate repo you said we don't use.

           So the stale path is exclusively the old videoctl path `/home/gleb/openclaw/videoctl/` which has been replaced by `/home/gleb/videoctl/`.

           The 90 matches are: some for `openclaw/videoctl/**` (directory deny), some for `openclaw/videoctl/bin/videoctl` (binary deny), and `openclaw/videoctl/bin/videoctl *` (binary with args deny). Each repeated across the 15 permission sections.

Can you please formulate this and the remaining permission issues as a technical request?


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. 👍

Thanks looks great. Dynamic config reload would be difficult


That's exactly what we needed — that config drift message solves the discovery problem we were stuck on earlier. Now I don't need to remember to grep or check proactively; the system tells me when something's out of sync.

Nice that another agent is already handling the cleanup too. Let me know if there's anything you want me to look at in the meantime, or if you want me to do anything before the next reload picks up all these changes.

[thinking] The user is saying:
           1. Another agent is already working on the permission consolidation
           2. There will be a "config drift" message injected into my context when the cached permissions are stale, so I'll know to inform them or suggest a reload

           This is great - it directly solves the "how would I know to grep it?" problem we discussed earlier. Now I'll get a notification when permissions drift.

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


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. The ACPX spawn approach is the way to go.

           - test-runner

           And there's also `matrix_lite_status_subagent_spawn` which can spawn an ACPX subagent job.

[thinking] The subagent is still running. The key results:

           1. **Task tool subagents** (explore, debug, etc.) — `ProviderModelNotFoundError`. These don't work because they try to use a model that's not available in this environment. They're likely configured to use a different model or provider.

           2. **ACPX subagent spawn** (`matrix_lite_status_subagent_spawn`) — Works! It successfully created a session with `opencode-subagent` agent using `github-copilot/gpt-5.4`. It's currently running.

           So the subagent infrastructure works via the ACPX spawn mechanism, but the task tool subagents don't have a working model. Let me report this.

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. The ACPX spawn approach is the way to go.

Ah, also the subagents. Can you do a smoke test if they work at all? Which do you have available currently?


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.

[thinking] Interesting! The `opencode-subagent` now has:
           - `OPENCODE_MODEL=nano-gpt/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:thinking` — updated to DeepSeek Flash!
           - `XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/matrix-lite/xdg/smoke-agent` — uses the smoke-agent config
           - Uses `/home/matrix-lite/bin/opencode-patched` binary

           So the subagent is also set to use DeepSeek Flash now, not `github-copilot/gpt-5.4` as it was before. It uses the smoke-agent XDG config profile.

           The smoke-agent config is at `/home/matrix-lite/xdg/smoke-agent/opencode/opencode.json` — that's a different config from the persistent-chat one.

But what profile is the acpx subagent using?


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.

[thinking] The user is asking what the current subagent (opencode-subagent with smoke-agent profile) can actually do usefully. It uses DeepSeek Flash with the smoke-agent config. The smoke-agent profile is a lightweight profile without heartbeat, memory promotion, or reflection — it's designed for quick tasks.

           Let me think about what it can actually do:

           1. **Read-only exploration** — it can read files and search for things, but it has limited permissions
           2. **Code review** — it could review code changes
           3. **Simple bash commands** — it may have more permissive bash rules
           4. **Web search** — if the extended tools are available to it

           But the key limitation is the smoke-agent profile: it doesn't have access to persistent-chat memory, decisions, knowledge base, etc. It's a "clean room" agent.

           Let me check the smoke-agent config to see what tools and permissions it has.

           - telegram-media
           - matrix_lite_status
           - playwright

           - brave-search

           It also has `model: nano-gpt/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:thinking` in multiple sections.

           The smoke-agent seems to have a broader set of tools than the persistent-chat config, but with a simpler permission profile. It's designed as a general-purpose testing agent.

           So the subagent can:
           1. Run web searches (duckduckgo, searxng, brave)
           2. Use Playwright for browser automation
           3. Use vision/image tools
           4. Use status/debug tools
           5. Read files
           6. Run limited bash commands

           But it doesn't have persistent-chat memory access or the knowledge base context.
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.

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?


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! 🙂

[thinking] That makes sense. The extended tools proxy I have already includes search (searxng, duckduckgo, brave) and Playwright. The verbose MCP schemas (context7, ghgrep) were excluded to keep the session prompt lean. I can either:
           1. Use the subagent for context7/ghgrep tasks when needed
           2. Or add them to the extended tools proxy

           Since the extended tools proxy is already lean and the subagent works, the subagent approach makes sense for occasional use of those verbose tools - no need to bloat the main session's prompt.

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


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.

[thinking] The user is asking when I'd actually need to use the subagent. When would it be useful to spawn a separate subagent rather than doing things directly myself? Let me think about this practically.

           Good use cases for the subagent:

           1. **Parallel work** — I can't do two things at once. If I'm waiting for a long tool call, I could spawn a subagent to do research in parallel.

           2. **Heavy web research** — Multiple search queries, reading several pages. If I do it myself, all those results stay in my context forever. Subagent can do the research and report back concisely.

           3. **Context isolation** — If I'm doing something that would bloat the session context (like iterating through a long list of files, or making many API calls), a subagent can do it without polluting the conversation history.

           4. **Tasks that don't need memory** — If you ask me to "go research latest AI APIs and compare" — ...

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.

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.

[thinking] Ah! Context7 is not web content extraction at all. It's an **up-to-date documentation retrieval** service for libraries and frameworks. It fetches current API docs, code examples, and version-specific documentation from indexed libraries (like React, Next.js, etc.) and injects them into the prompt. It's meant to solve the problem of LLMs hallucinating outdated API calls.

           So it would be useful when:
           - I'm generating code that uses a library or framework
           - I need to know the current API surface of a specific library version
           - I want to avoid hallucinated/deprecated API calls

           The `gh_grep` (at https://mcp.grep.app) is a GitHub code search tool - it searches code across GitHub repos.

           Both are actually useful! Context7 would help me write better code with current API knowledge, and gh_grep would help when searching for real-world code examples. My earlier descriptions were wrong.

Almost 100 turns including heavy tool use, repo exploration, web research, config analysis, and architecture review — all at ~155K context. That's genuinely impressive. The trimming and prompt work paid off. This session would've died at 40 turns under the old setup.

When you reload, everything we prepped will kick in: DeepSeek Flash, updated permissions, model-aware context guard, and hopefully the subagent types working. Solid session all around! 🙌

Yes this should all be working after reload. We managed to get almost 100 turns out of this session, it's nice


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. 🙂

[thinking] Confirmed - it's at 191,629 estimated context tokens. The context guard recommends a reload (action: "reload-recommended") because it's past the 180K reload threshold. Also interesting: the model field shows `nano-gpt/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:thinking` as the configured model, but the active backend is still `opencode/big-pickle` with a note "configured model does not match active backend" — that's because the current session started before the model was changed.

           The context is very close to the 200K max. In fact, the provider_logical_metric is already at 387K.

Now let me trigger the reload:Reload successful! The new session is running:

- **New session**: `persistent-chat-20260520T125044Z`
- **Model**: DeepSeek V4 Flash ✅ (1,048,576 context limit)
- **Old session**: 368K tokens used (was well over the 200K limit)
- **Fresh start**: 27K tokens used, plenty of headroom

Everything we prepped is in place — model switch, context guard, knowledge base entries, permission docs. The handover entry in the knowledge base will help the next session pick up where we left off. This was a solid session. See you on the other side! 🙂

[thinking] The user is telling me to do the reload. But first I should save important context from this session to the knowledge base, then trigger the reload.

           Let me save the key things from this session that will be useful for the next session, then trigger the reload.

           Key things to save:
           1. The model config changes (already done)
           2. The session achievements and what to expect on next reload
           3. Any remaining open items

           Let me also add a handover note so the next session has context.

[thinking] Good, the knowledge base already has the model switch info, big-pickle discovery, context guard rewrite, etc. Let me add a handover note for the next session and then trigger the reload.

[thinking] Now let me trigger the reload using the switch_bot_model tool. Actually, the user said "do it" - they want me to reload. But the model switch is already configured. I should use the `matrix_lite_status_switch_bot_model` tool to reload, or the `matrix_lite_status_restart_gateway` tool.

           Actually, looking at the tools available:
           - `matrix_lite_status_switch_bot_model` - switches model + reloads
           - `matrix_lite_status_restart_gateway` - restarts the gateway service

           Since the model is already configured for DeepSeek Flash, I just need to reload. The switch_bot_model tool might be the right one since it handles both model update and reload. But since the model is already set, maybe just a reload is sufficient.

           Let me use `matrix_lite_status_acp_session_admin` with the `restart` action, or better yet, use `matrix_lite_status_switch_bot_model` to trigger the model switch + reload.

           Actually...
Now let me trigger the reload:

      "error": "missing model switch script: /home/matrix-lite/bin/matrix-lite-persistent-chat-model"
    }

[thinking] The switch bot model tool needs a model switch script that doesn't exist. Let me try a different approach - maybe just trigger a reload via the session admin tool.

[thinking] The reload was successful! The new session is `persistent-chat-20260520T125044Z` with backend session `ses_1ba8f9dc2ffeYNpq7hoik3gXfE`.

           Key things to note:
           - The reload completed successfully
           - Old session had 368,700 context tokens used out of 200,000 limit
           - New session has 27,128 tokens out of 1,048,576 limit (1M context! DeepSeek Flash is active!)
           - The context limit is now 1,048,576 (1M) instead of 200K
           - The new session was bootstrapped and is running
           - Curation was skipped (disabled)

           The session is now running on DeepSeek Flash with 1M context. Let me say goodbye to this session.
Reload successful! The new session is running:

- **New session**: `persistent-chat-20260520T125044Z`
- **Model**: DeepSeek V4 Flash ✅ (1,048,576 context limit)
- **Old session**: 368K tokens used (was well over the 200K limit)
- **Fresh start**: 27K tokens used, plenty of headroom

Everything we prepped is in place — model switch, context guard, knowledge base entries, permission docs. The handover entry in the knowledge base will help the next session pick up where we left off. This was a solid session. See you on the other side! 🙂

[done] end_turn

Alright, do it. Save important things as we did before.


We're back! Fresh session running on DeepSeek V4 Flash with a 1M context limit. Currently at ~6.5K tokens — barely warmed up.

The reload went smoothly. All the improvements we prepped are in place. What's on your mind? 🙂

[thinking] The user is asking "Hey are we back?" - this is the first message after a reload. Let me check the session packet and turn packet for context. The turn packet shows the last conversation was about reloading the session. The old session was at 192K context and they reloaded. The new session is persistent-chat-20260520T125044Z. Let me confirm things are working by checking the runtime health.
