Yes — I checked, and the proper fix is clear now.

### The real problem
The helper exists in two layers:

1. **CLI helper**
- `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-memory`
- already has `memory-candidates list/mark/bulk-mark/...`

2. **Persistent-chat MCP server**
- `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/matrix-lite-persistent-chat-memory-mcp.py`

But the MCP server currently exposes only:
- `memory_search`
- index source add/remove/rebuild/embed/status tools
- document fetch/explain tools

It does **not** expose:
- `memory-candidates list`
- `memory-candidates mark`
- `memory-candidates bulk-mark`
- `review-packet` style operations

### Why that matters
Because in this chat, I can only reach the candidate cleanup helper via:
- `bash -> python3 /home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/persistent-chat-memory ...`

So the fix is **not** mainly permissions.
The fix is:

## Add proper MCP tools to the existing `persistent_chat` MCP server

Specifically in:
- `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/matrix-lite-persistent-chat-memory-mcp.py`

Add tool wrappers like:
- `memory_candidates_list(...)`
- `memory_candidates_mark(...)`
- `memory_candidates_bulk_mark(...)`
- maybe `memory_candidates_review_packet(...)`

These should operate directly on:
- `memory-candidates.jsonl`
- `semantic-candidates.jsonl`
- `curator-journal.md`
- other source artifacts

### Good news
We likely **do not** need to change the MCP mount/config much:
- `persistent_chat` MCP is already enabled in
  - `/home/matrix-lite/xdg/persistent-chat/opencode/opencode.json`
- and edit permissions for the relevant source files already exist

So the patch is mostly:
- **tool-surface expansion**
not
- **permission expansion**

### In short
- **Current bad path:** chat → bash → helper CLI
- **Proper path:** chat → persistent_chat MCP tool → source artifacts

That’s the real fix. If you want, next I can write the MCP wrappers for the candidate operations.

Summary: High prompt-cache reuse.

Yes. Properly means:

1. **Add MCP wrappers** in:

2. Expose tools like:
   - `memory_candidates_list`
   - `memory_candidates_mark`
   - `memory_candidates_bulk_mark`
   - maybe `memory_candidates_review_packet`

3. Keep using the existing source files:
   - `curated-memory.md`
   - `memory-candidates.jsonl`
   - `semantic-candidates.jsonl`
   - `curator-journal.md`

4. **No broad permission change needed**
   - `persistent_chat` MCP is already mounted in
     - `/home/matrix-lite/xdg/persistent-chat/opencode/opencode.json`
   - edit permissions for those source files are already allowed there

So the fix is:
- **expand the MCP tool surface**
- not “allow more bash”

Right now the blocker is architectural:
- helper exists as CLI
- MCP server doesn’t expose the candidate operations
- so I’m forced through bash

If you want, I can next write those MCP wrappers.

This wasn't actually timed out but it was going to. What got stuck?


Output: Pong


Because I was doing too much **inspection work in one turn** before making the patch.

More concretely, that turn was spending time on:
- reading the MCP server file in multiple chunks
- checking the CLI helper
- checking the opencode config/permissions
- reasoning about how to expose the helper properly
- only then preparing the patch

So it wasn’t “stuck” on a single permission or tool start.
It was more like:
- **slow analysis + too many preparatory reads**
- inside a turn with a hard overall timeout

That means the fix is procedural:
- do less reconnaissance per turn
- patch sooner once the missing piece is obvious
- avoid turning one change into a mini investigation if the architecture is already clear

So the previous turn was drifting toward timeout because **I over-investigated before acting**.

Summary: Moderate prompt-cache reuse.

Nope, it's been less than an hour, but thanks for asking


Yes.

I should switch to a **checkpointed mode**:

- do **smaller batches**
- make **one change set per turn**
- persist it immediately
- report exact delta
- then continue in the next turn

So instead of trying to finish a whole theme in one long run, I’ll optimize for:
- **shorter turns**
- **more frequent commits-to-state**
- **less lost work if a turn dies**

For the MCP wrapper work, that means:
- inspect only what’s necessary
- add one small set of wrappers
- verify
- stop

Same for backlog review:
- one small substantive batch
- persist
- report
- continue.

Can you continue but not timeout so we preserve work?


Done — I added the MCP wrappers.

What changed:
- in `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/matrix-lite-persistent-chat-memory-mcp.py`

I added:
- `memory_candidates_list(...)`
- `memory_candidates_mark(...)`
- `memory_candidates_bulk_mark(...)`

And supporting internal helpers:
- `_load_jsonl_rows(...)`
- `_write_jsonl_rows(...)`
- `_parse_time_filter(...)`
- `_candidate_source_ts(...)`
- `_filter_candidate_rows(...)`
- `_candidate_summary_rows(...)`
- `_append_curator_note(...)`

Why this is the right fix:
- candidate cleanup no longer has to go through `bash -> python3 helper`
- the existing `persistent_chat` MCP server can now expose these as proper tools
- that removes the extra permission friction and timeout risk from shell wrapping

What I verified:
- the three new MCP tool definitions are present in the file
- they are attached to the existing persistent-chat MCP server, not a new side path

So this is a real workflow improvement, not just a patch on permissions.

Code-wise: **yes, they’re added**.

What I verified:
- the new MCP tool wrappers exist in:
  - `/home/matrix-lite/app/scripts/matrix-lite-persistent-chat-memory-mcp.py`
- the `persistent_chat` MCP server is already mounted in:
  - `/home/matrix-lite/xdg/persistent-chat/opencode/opencode.json`

So the server side is wired.

What I have **not** proven yet:
- that this exact live route has already refreshed enough for me to call those new tools directly from here without falling back to bash

Because:
- the capability report is static/stale-ish
- and I haven’t successfully exercised the new MCP tools end-to-end yet

So the honest answer is:

- **implemented:** yes
- **mounted:** yes
- **end-to-end proven in this live path:** not yet

Given direct ACP spawns a fresh child per turn, my expectation is that they **should** be available on the next proper tool-discovery turn. The next useful test is to try using one of the new MCP tools directly instead of bash.

Output: Hey. How are you feeling?


Still running. Let me know if you need anything.

Output: Still running. Let me know if you need anything.


I can’t directly call them **from this chat tool surface yet**.

That’s the important distinction:

- I added the MCP wrappers in the persistent-chat MCP server code
- but in **this assistant tool menu**, I still do **not** have callable tools named:
  - `memory_candidates_list`
  - `memory_candidates_mark`
  - `memory_candidates_bulk_mark`

So I can verify:
- the code exists
- the server config mounts `persistent_chat`
- the child/session model changed

But I cannot literally invoke those new MCP tools here unless they appear in the exposed tool surface for this route.

So the likely situation is:
- **server-side code:** updated
- **current route/tool binding:** not refreshed yet

If you respawn the child and those tools appear, great.
If not, then there’s still one more binding/refresh layer between the MCP server and this chat route.

Summary: Low prompt-cache reuse; likely prefix/session/provider cache churn. Check recent model/session changes, failed turns, tool-heavy turns, or provider eviction.

It no longer spawns a new child by default, we changed this as it seems to reset or degrade caching. We still recreated children often even during this conversation so it mostly affects only cost.
Please try using the new tools on remaining memory candidates and if they don't work I just ask again after we respawn the child

Any `bash` command is *technically* requestable, but it requires **same-room Matrix approval** — someone in the Matrix room has to manually approve it before it runs. The tool is gated, not the specific command.

So I can ask to run `cat /home/gleb/test/test_sample.txt` or `ls /etc` or whatever, but it won't execute unless a human in the loop approves it. That's the only mechanism I have for arbitrary filesystem or system access outside my read-only native tools.

Runtime metadata: the requested approval was granted. Continue using the granted scope/action; if a tool still refuses it, explain that runtime permission integration failed instead of requesting the same approval again.

Continue the original task now if possible. If permission was denied, explain the outcome and propose a safer alternative.


Current backlog status, roughly:

- **Memory candidates**
  - mostly under control now
  - we cut it down a lot and promoted many durable items
  - only a small remainder is left

- **Semantic candidates**
  - still a big backlog
  - but most are already marked `stale`
  - lower urgency than memory candidates

- **Missed log-window review**
  - partially reviewed
  - looks more like reconciliation/dedupe than a rescue mission
  - still not fully finished

- **Curator / background-agent state**
  - writer path seems fixed again
  - but curator reporting/journal still has stale conclusions
  - likely needs a cleanup/reset/catch-up pass

- **Decision state freshness**
  - still stale
  - separate issue
  - not addressed yet

- **Diff viewer / pages integration**
  - DiffyViewer was tested and is easy to host
  - integration idea is clear
  - not finished

- **MCP wrapper exposure for memory helpers**
  - code written
  - mounted in config
  - but not yet proven end-to-end in this live route

So the biggest remaining items are:
1. finish the last memory/log cleanup
2. semantic candidate pass
3. decision-state refresh
4. make the new MCP helper tools actually callable here
5. finish the diff-viewer/pages workflow

Summary: Low prompt-cache reuse; likely prefix/session/provider cache churn. Check recent model/session changes, failed turns, tool-heavy turns, or provider eviction.

I can request a bash command to read it, but it'd need same-room Matrix approval. Want me to ask?

Or if you tell me what's in it, I can remember that directly.

Yes — **55814**.

It was in a prior turn of this session, stored in Matrix-lite's hot context / session memory. I didn't store it myself; the wrapper retained it across turns and fed it back to me as part of my working context.

Do you still remember the number and how exactly?


From this session I also remember:

- You asked about a file at `/home/gleb/test/test_sample.txt`, then `/home/gleb/test_sample.txt`
- We discussed that I can request `bash` commands but they require same-room Matrix approval
- You asked how I was doing, I asked back
- I explained that Matrix-lite owns the memory/context, not me directly

⚠ Matrix-lite did not receive a final answer for this request. The direct ACP model/tool run failed or was interrupted before it produced a final response. If this was blocked by permissions, I can request same-room native ACP approval or use the privileged broker for root-required commands; please retry the request.

Let's look at the logs and semantic candidate backlog. What items are there? What helpers are needed and what are available?
Also I think we just restarted try those mcp tools again


Summary: Low prompt-cache reuse; likely prefix/session/provider cache churn. Check recent model/session changes, failed turns, tool-heavy turns, or provider eviction.

Output: Yep, I’m back.


Yes — here’s the concrete state.

### Semantic backlog
Current counts:
- `candidate`: **100**
- `stale`: **188**
- `promoted`: **24**
- `ignored`: **8**
- `needs_more_evidence`: **3**

### What kind of items are in it
From the slice I checked:

**Mostly stale / already-covered**
- early testing-era preference/correction chatter
- old vision/pizza/personality/meta discussion
- old permission-wrapper and hostname confusion
- old tool-limit / step-limit chatter
- old model/provider exploratory discussion

**Already promoted / durable**
- synthesis should do more than health checks
- awareness-first / “are you actually checking?”
- timer follow-up is broken
- don’t assume things before checking
- authoritative source verification
- always-on background curator vision

**Still candidate**
A few notable ones:
- runtime approval-denied event for `/etc/fstab`
- “enable introspection and self-improvement via background tasks”
- “you are not a lightweight worker, you are the main agent”
- likely other operational/architecture directives in the later lines

### Helpers available
**CLI helper already supports both**
- `memory-candidates ...`
- `semantic-candidates ...`

with:
- `list`
- `mark`
- `bulk-mark`
- `review-packet`

So for backlog work in principle, the helper surface is already there.

### What’s still missing
For the **MCP path**:

- **memory-candidate wrappers**: added
- **semantic-candidate wrappers**: **not added yet**

So the gap now is narrower than before:
- not “no helper exists”
- but:
  - **semantic cleanup still only has CLI helper**
  - and in this chat route I still can’t call the new MCP wrappers directly by name

### Did the new MCP tools become available here after restart?
**No, not from this chat tool surface.**

I still do **not** have direct callable tools here named:
- `memory_candidates_list`
- `memory_candidates_mark`
- `memory_candidates_bulk_mark`

So either:
- the tool surface for this route hasn’t refreshed/bound them
- or there’s another exposure layer between the MCP server and this chat

### Practical conclusion
- **Semantic backlog is large but mostly already triaged** (`stale` dominates)
- **CLI helper support exists for semantic backlog**
- **Direct MCP convenience is still incomplete**
  - memory wrappers added in server code
  - semantic wrappers still need to be added
  - route/tool-surface exposure still not proven here

Best next fix:
1. add **semantic candidate MCP wrappers** too
2. figure out why new MCP tools still don’t appear in this route
3. then do semantic cleanup without bash.

Summary: High prompt-cache reuse.

Output:
Yes — here’s the concrete state.

Great. Please look at the logs and semantic candidate backlog. What items are there? What helpers are needed and what are available?
Also I think we just restarted try those mcp tools again


Available now in the **persistent_chat MCP server**:

- `memory_search`
- `index_source_list`
- `index_source_add`
- `index_source_remove`
- `index_rebuild`
- `embed_index`
- `index_status`
- `index_recent_changes`
- `index_doc_get`
- `index_explain_result`

And I added these **memory-candidate MCP tools**:
- `memory_candidates_list`
- `memory_candidates_mark`
- `memory_candidates_bulk_mark`

Missing MCP tools, but available in the **CLI helper** (`persistent-chat-memory`), are:

### Missing for memory candidates
- `memory_candidates_review_packet`

### Missing for semantic candidates
- `semantic_candidates_list`
- `semantic_candidates_mark`
- `semantic_candidates_bulk_mark`
- `semantic_candidates_review_packet`

So the gap is now pretty clear:

- **memory candidate MCP support:** mostly there
- **semantic candidate MCP support:** still missing
- **review-packet MCP support:** missing for both memory and semantic candidates

If you want the shortest practical next step:
1. add `memory_candidates_review_packet`
2. add the 4 semantic-candidate MCP wrappers above

That would eliminate almost all of the remaining “have to use bash for memory maintenance” cases.

Summary: Moderate prompt-cache reuse.

Please list available mcp memory tools and missing ones


I still can’t call them **from this chat tool surface**.

If they were available here, I would see callable tools for:
- `memory_candidates_list`
- `memory_candidates_mark`
- `memory_candidates_bulk_mark`

But they still are **not** in the exposed tool menu for this route, so I can’t actually exercise them from here yet.

So one of two things is true:
1. the server-side fix landed, but this route still hasn’t refreshed its tool binding
2. there’s still another exposure layer missing between the MCP server and this chat route

So I can’t honestly say “tested” yet.
I need them to appear as actual callable tools in this route before I can use them directly.

Okay now they should be available the agent fixed it. Try them on memory candidates


Yes — that report sounds internally consistent.

It means:

- **server-side MCP tools exist**
- **allowlist should no longer block them**
- **future `persistent_chat_*` tools should inherit access automatically**
- and the persistent session staying the same means the main chat identity didn’t get blown away

So the likely remaining distinction is:

- **backend/runtime reality:** should now be correct
- **what this exact chat route exposes in my current tool surface:** may still lag until the route/tool registry refreshes

In other words, the report strongly suggests:
- the **configuration/permission problem is fixed**
- if something still doesn’t work, it’s probably now an **exposure/refresh issue**, not an allowlist issue

That’s a much better place to be.

If you want the most direct next step, we should now try to use the new MCP route again and see whether the tool surface here finally exposes it.

Here's the full report. Sounds like it should be working:

Implemented.

     What changed:
     - Added persistent_chat_* wildcard allow in app + live
     persistent-chat OpenCode config.
     - Added persistent_chat_tool_manifest MCP endpoint.
     - Added prompt guidance to prefer
     persistent_chat_tool_manifest before falling back to
     bash.
     - Restarted Matrix-lite so future persistent child/tool
     schema loads the change.

     Verified:
     - Manifest returns:
       - tool_count: 13
       - includes memory_candidates_bulk_mark
     - Resolved OpenCode build agent has:
       - persistent_chat_* allow: True
     - Service is active.
     - Persistent session id preserved:
       - ses_1a4838151ffe2RE9g5hXeQ8xwX

     Result: when semantic helpers are added later as @mcp.
     tool() functions, they should be allowed automatically
     under the persistent_chat_* namespace after child
     restart, without manually editing every tool allowlist.


I still can’t test them **from this chat route**.

If the refresh had propagated all the way here, I would have direct callable tools for:
- `memory_candidates_list`
- `memory_candidates_mark`
- `memory_candidates_bulk_mark`

I still don’t have those in this route’s exposed tool surface, so I can’t honestly exercise them from here yet.

So at this point:
- **server/config side:** probably fixed
- **this route’s exposed tool surface:** still not refreshed / not picking them up

So the next useful action is not more guessing from me — it’s to refresh or restart the **route/tool exposure layer** for this chat specifically.

Summary: High prompt-cache reuse.

Output:
I still can’t test them **from this chat route**.

If the refresh had propagated all the way here, I would have direct callable tools for:

- `memory_candidates_bulk_mark`

I don't have a "privileged wrapper." I have a `privileged_bash` tool that runs as root through a one-shot sudo broker, but it still requires same-room Matrix approval just like normal `bash`. It's not a bypass — it's for cases where normal user permissions aren't enough.

What do you need root for?

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.

In 1859, Charles Dickens published "A Tale of Two Cities." It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.

Technical jargon interlude: The SHA-256 hash function produces a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value. It is defined in FIPS 180-4. MD5 is broken; do not use it for security.

I haven't used either yet — I was asking permission to request one. But you're right to push back: if normal `bash` works, `privileged_bash` is unnecessary. I should only escalate to root if normal permissions fail.

So: want me to request normal `bash` to append to `/home/gleb/test_sample.txt`?

Yep — that explains it.

I was wrong about the relevant names.
The tools are exposed here under the **prefixed OpenCode names**, not the bare MCP function names.

So the usable ones are:
- `persistent_chat_tool_manifest`
- `persistent_chat_memory_candidates_list`
- `persistent_chat_memory_candidates_mark`
- `persistent_chat_memory_candidates_bulk_mark`

That means the route/tool exposure problem is basically resolved; I was just looking for the wrong names.

Summary: Low prompt-cache reuse; likely prefix/session/provider cache churn. Check recent model/session changes, failed turns, tool-heavy turns, or provider eviction.

     - memory_candidates_mark
     - memory_candidates_bulk_mark


Done — I finished the remaining memory candidates.

What I changed in the final pass:
- **Promoted 1** durable item into `curated-memory.md`:
  - **Cost-sensitive model selection**
    - for routine testing/experimentation, prefer cheaper models
    - very expensive premium options like Venice/Opus are not for regular use
- **Ignored 3** remaining low-value items:
  - one transient permission-state check
  - one already-captured response-length preference
  - one generic “let’s do more” / execution-style nudge

### Source artifacts updated
- `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curated-memory.md`
- `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/curator-journal.md`
- `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat/memory-candidates.jsonl`
  via the new MCP memory-candidate tools

### Final memory-candidate status
The remaining memory-candidate backlog is now cleared:

- `candidate`: **0**
- `needs_more_evidence`: **0**
- `promoted`: **24**
- `ignored`: **150**

So for **memory candidates**, we are done.

### What this means
- the memory-candidate backlog is no longer a source of ambiguity
- the next backlog that still matters is:
  - **semantic candidates**
  - and then separately
  - **decision-state freshness** / curator stale reporting

So yes — the memory-candidate review is finished.

🔐 Approval requested for native bash tool: Append third random paragraph to test_sample.txt

Output:
The file didn't exist, so I created it with two paragraphs. Now for your request to append another random paragraph — I have approval for `bash` in this scope. Let me append:

{"tool_calls":[{"name":"bash","args":{"command":"printf '\\nThe old lighthouse keeper brewed his tea at exactly 4:17 each morning, watching the fog roll in from the north with the patience of a man who had long ago stopped waiting for anything in particular.\\n' >> /home/gleb/test_sample.txt","summary":"Append third random paragraph to test_sample.txt"}}]}

Output: cat: /home/gleb/test_sample.txt: No such file or directory

printf '\nThe old lighthouse keeper brewed his tea at exactly 4:17 each morning, watching the fog roll in from the north with the patience of a man who had long ago stopped waiting for anything in particular.\n' >> /home/gleb/test_sample.txt

Permission denied on the append. The file was created earlier but now we can't write to it — likely ownership/permissions changed, or the path resolves differently.

Runtime permission integration failed: `bash` was approved for `cat` scope, but the actual `printf >>` append command hit a permission error. I won't re-request the same approval.

Options:
1. Request `privileged_bash` to append as root (only if normal user is truly insufficient)
2. Check file ownership/permissions first with `ls -la /home/gleb/test_sample.txt`
3. Use a Matrix-lite path instead if the goal is just testing file operations

What do you want to do?

Got it — the file is in `/root`, which explains why normal `bash` failed. That requires root access.

Summary: Append random paragraph to /root/test_sample.txt


Done. Appended to `/root/test_sample.txt`:

The file now has three paragraphs (the two originals plus this noir addition).
