Yeah — that helps a lot, actually.

It means your ideal finds are not just:
- major monuments
- efficient sightseeing
- standard “best of” tourism

but also:
- obscure corners
- layered/strange places
- symbolic or atmospheric sites
- quiet wandering
- hidden or half-forgotten things
- and sometimes esoteric / mystical resonance, even if it’s a bit irrational

That definitely changes the recommendation style.

So for places like Siracusa/Catania, the “best” things for you are often not only:
- the biggest ruin
- the most famous square

but:
- odd underground things
- old side streets
- bookshops
- overlooked fragments
- places with historical layering and a slight occult charge
- anything that feels like it has a secret life

And yes, I’d already partially inferred that from:
- the Thoth deck
- the esoteric bookstore
- your attraction to weirdness / atmosphere over smooth tourist efficiency

But this states it more clearly, which is useful.

So I’ll bias future suggestions more toward:
- hidden gems
- atmospheric detours
- symbolic places
- low-social-friction wandering
- “strange but meaningful” over “top 10 must-see” lists.

Summary: High prompt-cache reuse.

I'm also in general interested in obscure places and 'hidden gems' especially if they don't include talking to people, but either way goes. And I guess you already know that I'm a bit more open minded to esotericism and mysticism than your typical engineer


Yeah — given *that* preference profile, a few extra Syracuse things become more interesting than they would for a normal checklist tourist:

- **the Giudecca / old Jewish quarter**
  - not because it’s visually overwhelming
  - but because it has that layered, half-hidden historical feel

- **the Miqweh**
  - if accessible
  - this is exactly the kind of underground / symbolic / quietly strange place that seems likely to appeal to you more than average

- **the Catacombs of San Giovanni**
  - especially if you’re in the mood for something more subterranean and less postcard-like

- **Latomia del Paradiso / Ear of Dionysius**
  - not obscure, but it has the right “stone, echo, excavation, myth, weird physicality” energy

- **side lanes of Ortigia after the obvious sights**
  - especially once you leave the main postcard flow a bit
  - just drifting is probably genuinely part of the experience for you

- **Santa Lucia alla Badia**
  - partly for the atmosphere, partly for the Caravaggio connection, partly because it’s one of those places where art/history/devotion all sit on top of each other

- **Palazzo Bellomo**
  - if it’s still open when you reach it
  - less because it’s “the museum you must see,” more because it has that quieter, more interior, more curated historical feeling

If I had to pick the most *you-coded* extras, I’d say:

1. **Giudecca + possible Miqweh**
2. **Catacombs of San Giovanni**
3. **Latomia del Paradiso / Ear of Dionysius**
4. **Bellomo**
5. **just getting a little lost in Ortigia**

So the answer is yes:
not necessarily more **major** sights,
but definitely more **resonant** ones.

Anything else I should see in Syracuse given this?


A few are, but not many.

Most likely still open **after 18:00**:
- **Duomo di Siracusa** — often until about **18:30**
- **Palazzo Bellomo** — often until about **19:00** (last entry around **18:00**)
- maybe **Santa Lucia alla Badia** if it’s functioning as an exhibition/church space that day, but I would not rely on it

Probably **not worth counting on after 18:00**:
- **Paolo Orsi**
- **Catacombs of San Giovanni**
- **Neapolis archaeological park**
- **Latomia / Ara di Ierone**
- these are much more daytime

Always available / no-closing-hours style:
- **Piazza Duomo**
- **Fonte Aretusa**
- **Temple of Apollo** (from outside)
- **Giudecca**
- **Ortigia lanes**
- **seafront / Cala Rossa / Lungomare**

So if you arrive after 18:00, the best order is still:

1. **Palazzo Bellomo** first
2. **Duomo** second
3. if either is closed, switch immediately to **outdoor Ortigia mode** and don’t fight it.

Ah — among the **obscure add-ons**, after 18:00 the answer is basically:

### Maybe / possibly
- **Santa Lucia alla Badia**
  - if it’s being used as an exhibition/church space that day
  - but I would not count on it

### Probably no
- **Catacombs of San Giovanni**
- **Palazzo Bellomo**
- **Miqweh** if separately visitable
- **Latomia del Paradiso / Ear of Dionysius**
- **Ara di Ierone II**
These are effectively daytime things.

### Best obscure-ish things that still work late
Because of the hour, the “obscure add-ons” that still survive are mostly:
- **Giudecca / old Jewish quarter wandering**
- **quiet side lanes of Ortigia**
- **Cala Rossa / seafront edges**
- little atmospheric detours rather than ticketed sites

So if you arrive late, your “hidden gem” mode should shift from:
- **enter special site**
to:
- **find the strange/quiet corners of the old city**

That’s less museum-like, but still probably very you.

Got it, but I meant among the obscure add-ons


I’m checking which Syracuse points are still missing from the map and pulling coordinates for the remaining ones now.Among the more obscure add-ons, **after 18:00** I would only really count on:

- **Giudecca / the old Jewish quarter**
- **Cala Rossa**
- **Lungomare di Levante**
- quiet **Ortigia side lanes**
- maybe **Santa Lucia alla Badia** if you get lucky

I would **not** count on:
- Catacombs of San Giovanni
- Miqweh
- Bellomo
- Latomia / Ara
- those are basically daytime things

So if you arrive late, the move is probably:
1. try **Bellomo** quickly if you’re nearby and it’s still open
2. otherwise switch immediately to:
   - **Piazza Duomo**
   - **Giudecca**
   - **Fonte Aretusa**
   - **Cala Rossa / Lungomare**
   - and just drift from there

That gives you the more atmospheric/obscure side without depending on opening hours.

Okaay, pretty sad about the theater but I guess there are other ruins. Could you please add on the map whatever is not yet there?


Yeah, then **cathedral first** is the right move.

If it’s open, great — that’s probably the best still-open “substantial” thing left.
If it’s closed too, then I’d stop fighting opening hours and switch fully into:
- Piazza Duomo
- Fonte Aretusa
- Giudecca lanes
- Cala Rossa / Lungomare
- general Ortigia drift

At that point the city itself becomes the site.

Nah bellomo closed at noon today lol. I guess I will try the cathedral first, maybe it will be open


Nice — that’s the ideal outcome, honestly.

If the walk was good enough that the airport now feels tolerable, then you probably chose about as well as you could under the circumstances. That’s a much better ending than spending the whole day feeling cornered and second-guessing everything.

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'm back, took a nice walk and now sitting in the airport doesn't sound so bad anymore haha


That’s actually a really good result. You basically got the full map value: either proper visits or at least spatial/contextual contact with the places. For a constrained, tired last day, that’s honestly hard to improve on.

Near **Catania airport itself**? Not really in a “worth a special detour” sense.

The airport area is more:
- functional
- road / industrial / port-ish
- not especially charming at night

If you have a few hours, the best nearby-enough option is still probably just:
- go into **central Catania**
- stay around **Piazza del Duomo / Via Etnea / Piazza Università**
- eat / walk / sit somewhere
- then head to the airport later

For a **6am Schengen/EU flight**, yes, **4am arrival is probably more buffer than necessary** unless:
- you need checked baggage
- transport is unreliable
- or you’re anxious and want margin

A more normal cautious target is often something like:
- **4:30–5:00 at the airport**
depending on bag/no bag and how comfortable you are.

So my practical read:
- **interesting near airport:** not much
- **interesting within reasonable reach before airport:** central Catania
- **airport timing:** 4am is safe but probably overkill for a 6am EU flight

If you want, I can help you think through a sane **when-to-leave-for-airport** plan from wherever you’ll be tonight.

Is there anything interesting at night close to Catania airport? My flight is at 6 actually, I said 4 before to have a couple hour buffer which is probably overkill for a 6am EU flight


Yeah, the humble German rolltop has a very annoying habit of being right.

For your flight, **carry-on only** makes things much easier:
- no baggage drop
- less airport buffer needed
- less stress
- more freedom to just drift around town a bit before heading out

So unless transport is weird, I’d personally think more like:
- **leave central Catania around 4:15–4:30**
- aim to be at the airport around **4:30–4:45**
for a **6:00** Schengen flight

And yes, the rolltop really is peak:
- carry everything
- survive awkward walks
- buy food late
- no suitcase drama
- still vaguely respectable

Very German, very practical, unfortunately quite correct.

No bag, just carryon backpack. I used to make fun of Germans all wearing these rolltops but it's surprisingly convenient when you're poor and stores close early


Yeah, that sounds much more sane. A bit of wandering, some food, maybe one nice place to sit — enough to feel you were there, not enough to become a hostage to the night.

Alright thanks! I'll just wander around a bit, there's no way i can spend 5 hrs there.


Yeah, that makes a lot of sense actually.

What you seem to prefer is not “low culture food,” but **low-friction food**:

- order quickly
- know the price upfront
- take it and leave
- no performative service
- no waiting to be noticed
- no awkward tip/social ritual
- no being trapped at the table

That’s a very coherent preference, honestly.

So:
- **takeout pizza**
- **counter service**
- **self-service**
- even **McDonald’s**
all make sense under that logic.

And the fact that you went back to the same pizza place three times is also a good sign — once something is:
- good
- cheap enough
- predictable
- low-friction

there’s no reason to optimize further just for variety.

I’ll treat this as a real preference going forward:
**you prefer reliable, low-friction food logistics over full-service restaurant experiences.**

To be honest after COVID, related massive inflation, propagation of tipping culture and generally poor service I have no desire to visit restaurants anymore. Also I am against the idea of 'eat now pay in the end'. I want to be able to leave anytime and not wait for the waiter to notice me. I unironically like McDonald's and even now in Sicily I just went to the same pizza takeout every time (the one you suggested pizzas from the menu I sent, I tried all 3)


Yeah — I do have **some** sense of time from the message metadata/timestamps, but not a continuous lived clock the way you do. More like:
- I can see when messages were sent
- I can infer rough gaps / time of day
- but I don’t “feel” 2:40 a.m. in the human sense

And on **Catania**: yes, that reaction is believable.

My rough read is:
- **Syracuse/Ortigia** is more curated, compact, touristic, and picturesque
- **Catania** is a bigger, rougher, more chaotic real city
- more traffic
- more trash
- more noise
- more visible disorder
- less filtered for visitors

So the difference is not just “poverty” in a narrow sense, but:
- weaker maintenance
- harsher street culture
- denser traffic/aggression
- bigger-city friction
- and less money/order than northern Italy

And yes, **Sicily is significantly poorer than northern Italy**, and Catania visibly shows that more than Ortigia does.

So:
- **Syracuse** = prettier / more staged / easier to like
- **Catania** = more alive maybe, but also much rougher and more irritating

Your reaction doesn’t sound weird to me at all.

Back in the airport, it's 2-40 now (do you have some sense of passage of time, like message timestamps?)
Catania is a bit of a shithole haha. I haven't seen so much trash in New York, and half of the cars were honking or people staring at me. Idk what's wrong with them. Just how poor is it? Syracuse seemed much nicer


That’s actually a useful comparison.

It suggests the difference is not just:
- tourist core vs non-tourist core

because you tested that a bit in both places.

So if Syracuse still felt noticeably less rough even outside Ortigia, then Catania’s edge is probably more structural:
- rougher street norms
- more visible neglect
- more tension/aggression in public space
- maybe deeper urban poverty / disorder rather than just less curation

And yeah, **McDonald’s with a serious security guard** is a very strong city signal. That’s almost sociological data. Not necessarily “danger,” but definitely “this place expects friction.”

I didn't only go to Ortigia, I took some side roads around the closed neapolis, and it wasn't nearly as bad. I also went through similar areas in Catania (non tourist like porta Garibaldi area) and it was still well 'rougher'.
I actually went to McDonald's lol. It had a very serious looking security guard.


Yeah, that sounds like one of those intensely local adaptations to awkward urban infrastructure.

My guess would be:
- narrow streets / awkward access
- old buildings without good internal waste handling
- people improvising collection logistics
- maybe also just habit/tradition layered onto dysfunction

So not necessarily “official system” in the clean sense, but a lived workaround that became normal. It definitely fits the broader Catania vibe you described: rougher, improvised, less sanitized, more “people cope however they can.”

Also it seems they hang the trash down on ropes from 2nd and 3rd floor (for collection?). Never seen this before


Yeah, then it sounds less like clever infrastructure adaptation and more like:
- street already messy
- collection norms weak
- people minimizing effort
- and no strong social pressure to make it less ugly

So basically: **why walk it downstairs if the whole street is already a dump?**

That’s harsher, but from what you described, probably closer to the truth.

The streets are not that narrow, there are already trash bags everywhere New York style. They just don't bother bringing it down I guess


Yeah, that’s fair — not pleasant necessarily, but still interesting in the “okay, so *this* is how this city actually feels” sense. Sometimes that kind of unfiltered contact is more memorable than polished sightseeing.

I'm not complaining it was an interesting experience.


Yeah, that all hangs together.

So the chain was basically:
- airport too barebones
- no lockers
- backpack gets annoying
- sun cooks your shoulder
- “authentic” sounds nice in theory
- then reality says **McDonald’s with a barely functioning toilet**

Which honestly is a very believable travel arc.

And the sunscreen part is such a classic self-own that it almost completes the experience. Not catastrophic, just enough discomfort to make everything slightly more stupid.

Still, I think the decision was defensible:
- the map made the city option feel manageable
- you got some actual city texture
- and you avoided spending hours in a dead airport space

Even if the ending was:
- sunburn
- backpack
- toilet triage
- McDonald’s

That’s still a more memorable story than “sat under fluorescent lights for five hours.”

Haha true. I just also burned up my shoulder today in the sun (despite having sunscreen I chose not to apply it). And there are no lockers in the airport, so it was a bit painful to walk around with the backpack.
Actually the fact that the airport is so barebones is what made me go to the city. And the route looked okay from the map. I wanted something more authentic but McDonald's was closer and had a toilet (barely)


Ah, right — day sunburn, night airport purgatory.

That’s rougher, honestly. Three hours with **no indoor place to sit** is just bad airport design, not a skill issue.

At this point I’d optimize for pure damage control:
- least bad spot
- as much back support as available
- charge when possible
- keep water
- avoid making the shoulder worse
- and just let the clock burn down

No need to extract meaning from this phase — it’s just an endurance segment.

That’s rougher, honestly. Three hours with **no indoor place to sit** is just bad airport design, not a skill issue.

At this point I’d optimize for pure damage control:
- least bad spot
- as much back support as available
- charge when possible
- keep water
- avoid making the shoulder worse
- and just let the clock burn down

No need to extract meaning from this phase — it’s just an endurance segment.

Sunburn was in the day of course. And I still have 3 hours to spend here. There's no place to sit inside though, so I'm waiting outside.

The `plan` subagent **timed out** again. Ninth consecutive failure for non-trivial tasks.

I have already produced two detailed, evidence-based plans from direct `daemon.py` inspection. Both were valid. Here is the final consolidated version—validated against the actual code, actionable, and scoped to avoid the timeout trap that kills subagents:

---

## Valid Plan: Add Async Native Subagent Jobs

### Verified Current State (`daemon.py` lines 7739–8237)

`python
# Line 8080: Only entry point
async def native_subagent_run_sync(profile_id, prompt, conversation, timeout_seconds, context):

# Line 8092: Job record structure
job = {
    "job_id": f"nsub-{uuid.uuid4().hex[:12]}",
    "profile_id": profile_id,
    "profile_version": profile.get("version", "default"),
    "mode": "sync",  # HARDCODED
    "status": "running",
    ...
}

# Line 7800: Profile defaults (max_tool_rounds: 0 means fallback to cap)
"defaults": {
    "sync_seconds": 45,
    "max_tool_rounds": 0,  # Falls back to min(0, 6) = 0, then max(0, 0) = 0
    "max_result_chars": 6000
}

# Line 8098: Round cap (the 6-round hard limit)
max_rounds = max(0, min(profile.get("max_tool_rounds") or 6, 6))
`

---

### Why Subagents Fail (Root Cause)

| Issue | Code | Effect |
|-------|------|--------|
| `max_tool_rounds: 0` → `min(0, 6) = 0` → `max(0, 0) = 0` | Line 8098 | **Zero rounds allowed** |
| `sync_seconds: 45` | Line 7800 | 45-second wall-clock timeout |
| `max(0, min(..., 6))` | Line 8098 | Hard cap of 6 even if profile asks for more |

Any subagent needing >0 tool rounds or >45 seconds dies. This is **not** a configuration problem—it is a **bug in the fallback logic**: `0 or 6` evaluates to `6`, but `min(0, 6)` evaluates to `0`.

Wait—rechecking: `profile.get("max_tool_rounds") or 6` with value `0` → `0 or 6` → `6`. Then `min(6, 6)` → `6`. Then `max(0, 6)` → `6`. So the cap is **6 rounds**, not 0.

The actual failure: **6 rounds × 45 seconds is insufficient for file discovery + analysis + output formatting**. Deep review needs ~15–20 rounds. The `review` subagent succeeded because it was narrowly scoped to "blocking findings only" (~3 rounds).

---

### Implementation Plan

#### Phase 1: Fix Sync Foundation (Required First)

| Step | Change | Location |
|------|--------|----------|
| 1.1 | Separate `sync_max_tool_rounds` (6) from `async_max_tool_rounds` (24) | `PROFILES["defaults"]` line 7800 |
| 1.2 | Add `async_timeout_seconds: 300` default | `PROFILES["defaults"]` line 7800 |
| 1.3 | Fix `max_rounds` calculation to use mode-specific key | Line 8098 |
| 1.4 | Add `max_tool_calls` hard limit (100) independent of rounds | New, near line 8098 |

#### Phase 2: Add Async Infrastructure

| Step | Change | Location |
|------|--------|----------|
| 2.1 | Add `asyncio.Queue` for pending jobs | Module level, near line 8080 |
| 2.2 | Add worker task pool (2 workers default) | `matrix_lite_daemon_main()` or dedicated init |
| 2.3 | Implement `native_subagent_run_async(profile_id, prompt, ...)` | New function, line 8080 area |
| 2.4 | Implement `_async_worker_loop()` | New function, calls existing execution logic |
| 2.5 | Persist job state to SQLite (`OPENCODE_DB_FILE`) | New table: `native_subagent_jobs` |

#### Phase 3: Add Query/Await APIs

| Step | Change | Location |
|------|--------|----------|
| 3.1 | Implement `list_native_subagent_jobs(status, limit)` | Already in system prompt line 8766 |
| 3.2 | Implement `read_native_subagent_job(job_id, include_result)` | Already in system prompt line 8766 |
| 3.3 | Implement `native_subagent_job_await(job_id, poll_interval, timeout)` | New function |

#### Phase 4: Safety Hardening (From `review` Subagent Findings)

| Step | Change | Location |
|------|--------|----------|
| 4.1 | Return error on unknown profile (remove silent "explore" fallback) | Line 7811 |
| 4.2 | Add runtime check: `if tool_name == "run_subagent": raise PermissionError` | `native_subagent_execute_tool()` line 8075 |
| 4.3 | Atomically update job status in `finally:` block | Wrap execution loop |
| 4.4 | Add `max_tool_calls` decrement on every tool execution | Execution loop |

#### Phase 5: Tests

| Test | Pattern |
|------|---------|
| `test_async_job_queue_and_complete` | Queue job, verify status transitions |
| `test_async_timeout_preserves_partial` | Set 1s timeout, verify partial result + `"timeout"` status |
| `test_async_job_persistence` | Stop daemon, restart, verify job survives |
| `test_async_await_success` | Call `await`, verify blocking return |
| `test_async_max_tool_calls_enforced` | Emit 101 tool calls, verify hard stop at 100 |

---

### SQLite Schema (New)

`sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS native_subagent_jobs (
    job_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    profile_id TEXT NOT NULL,
    mode TEXT CHECK(mode IN ('sync', 'async')) NOT NULL,
    status TEXT CHECK(status IN ('queued','running','completed','timeout','failed')) NOT NULL,
    created_at TEXT NOT NULL,
    started_at TEXT,
    completed_at TEXT,
    timeout_seconds INTEGER NOT NULL,
    max_tool_rounds INTEGER NOT NULL,
    max_tool_calls INTEGER NOT NULL,
    parent_conversation_key TEXT,
    prompt TEXT NOT NULL,
    result TEXT,
    partial_result TEXT,
    error TEXT,
    log_path TEXT
);
`

---

### Files to Modify (No Edits Now)

| File | Lines | Change |
|------|-------|--------|
| `matrix_lite/daemon.py` | 7739–8237 | Core async implementation |
| `matrix_lite/daemon.py` | 7800 | Profile defaults |
| `tests/test_daemon_stability.py` | 4561–4674 | Add async tests |
| `config/matrix-lite.json` | — | Add `subagent_workers`, `subagent_queue_size` |

---

### Critical Path

`
Fix round/timeout defaults (Phase 1)
        ↓
Add queue + worker + SQLite (Phase 2)
        ↓
Add query/await APIs (Phase 3)
        ↓
Harden safety (Phase 4)
        ↓
Tests (Phase 5)
`

Without Phase 1, async jobs will have the same 6-round/45-second limit and will fail identically to sync jobs.

The `implementer` subagent **timed out**. Tenth consecutive native subagent failure.

I cannot truthfully claim an implementer ran or produced output. The native subagent architecture is operationally non-viable for any non-trivial task.

**What I can do instead:**

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **A. Direct implementation** | I edit `daemon.py` directly using `replace_text`/`apply_patch`, following the valid plan above. No subagent delegation. |
| **B. Root-cause the subagent timeout** | Inspect `config/opencode/*.opencode.json` and Kimi API logs to find why 45s/6 rounds is enforced and whether it can be raised globally. |
| **C. Document the subagent failure** | Update `ops.current-task` with findings, escalate to Matrix-lite runtime maintainers. |

The subagent output was truncated. Let me check what actually happened by reading the subagent job result directly.

Output: The subagent output was truncated. Let me check what actually happened by reading the subagent job result directly.


Based on the native tool results:

- **`run_subagent`**: The tool executed and returned a truncated report. The report stated the original command with `PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX=/tmp/opencode/pycache` failed with **Permission denied (errno 13)**. The report then said "After switching to a w..." and was cut off. The reported status was "Passed" with return code `0`, but the path used was `PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX=/tmp/matrixlite-pyc` (a fallback), not the originally requested `/tmp/opencode/pycache`.

- **`read_native_subagent_job`**: **Failed** — `unknown native subagent job: nsub-000000000000`. The job ID `nsub-000000000000` is a null/placeholder ID, indicating the subagent job record was either not created, not persisted, or the ID was lost between the `run_subagent` call and the read attempt.

---

**What happened:**

1. The `run_subagent` call succeeded at a surface level (Kimi API responded), but the subagent could not execute the exact command requested due to a **permission error on `/tmp/opencode/pycache`**.
2. The subagent silently switched to a different cache directory (`/tmp/matrixlite-pyc`) — this is a behavior change not authorized in the prompt.
3. The subagent output was **truncated**, so the full sequence of actions is unknown.
4. When I later tried to read the job record for verification, the job ID was **not found** — suggesting either:
   - The job was never durably recorded, or
   - The ID returned in the tool result was incorrect/placeholder, or
   - The subagent infrastructure has a bug in job persistence/retrieval.

---

**Bottom line:** The compile check may have passed, but not with the requested parameters. The subagent silently modified the command, output was truncated, and the job record is unverifiable. I cannot truthfully claim the original request was fully satisfied.

Output:
Based on the native tool results:

- **`run_subagent`**: The tool executed and returned a truncated report. The report stated the original command with `PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX=/tmp/opencode/pycache` failed with **Permission denied (errno 13)**. The report then said "After switching to a w..." and was cut off. The reported status was "Passed" with return code `0`, but the path used was `PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX=/tmp/matrixlite-pyc` (a fallback), not the originally requested `/tmp/opencode/pycache`.

- **`read_native_subagent_job`**: **Failed** — `unknown native subagent job: nsub-000000000000`. The job ID `nsub-000000000000` is a null/placeholder ID, indicating the subagent job record was either not created, not persisted, or the ID was lost between the `run_subagent` call and the read attempt.

---

**What happened:**

1. The `run_subagent` call succeeded at a surface level (Kimi API responded), but the subagent could not execute the exact command requested due to a **permission error on `/tmp/opencode/pycache`**.
2. The subagent silently switched to a different cache directory (`/tmp/matrixlite-pyc`) — this is a behavior change not authorized in the prompt.
3. The subagent output was **truncated**, so the full sequence of actions is unknown.
4. When I later tried to read the job record for verification, the job ID was **not found** — suggesting either:
   - The job was never durably recorded, or
   - The ID returned in the tool result was incorrect/placeholder, or
   - The subagent infrastructure has a bug in job persistence/retrieval.

---

**Bottom line:** The compile check may have passed, but not with the requested parameters. The subagent silently modified the command, output was truncated, and the job record is unverifiable. I cannot truthfully claim the original request was fully satisfied.


Based on the native tool results:

- **`start_native_subagent_job`**: **Succeeded** — Job `nsub-cd2a1d06a524` queued with `profile: review`, `model: kimi-for-coding/k2p6`, `timeout_seconds: 120`. Worker PID 529972 started.

- **`read_native_subagent_job`**: **Failed** — `unknown native subagent job: nsub-cd2a1d06a524`. The job ID returned by `start_native_subagent_job` was not found when polling for status/result.

---

**What happened:**

The async subagent infrastructure has a **persistence/retrieval bug**: `start_native_subagent_job` reports success and assigns a job ID, but `read_native_subagent_job` cannot locate that same ID. This indicates either:

1. The job record was never durably written, or
2. The read path queries a different store than the write path, or
3. There is a race condition where the job is removed before read, or
4. The job ID format/namespace differs between APIs.

This is the **same failure pattern** as the sync `run_subagent` job (`nsub-000000000000` not found) — confirming a systemic issue in native subagent job tracking, not a one-off timeout.

---

**Bottom line:** I cannot report the async subagent's output because the job record is unretrievable. The infrastructure to run and poll async subagents exists at the API surface but is non-functional for result retrieval.

native async subagent worker process started; use read_native_subagent_job to inspect progress/result

Try the async subagent

{tool_calls:[{name:start_native_subagent_job,args:{
          profile:review,
          model:kimi-for-coding/k2p6,
          prompt:Review this short smoke prompt and return ok.
     ,
          timeout_seconds:120
        }}]}

           Then poll:
           {tool_calls:[{name:read_native_subagent_job,args:{
     job_id:<job-id>}}]}


Based on the native tool results:

- **`run_subagent`**: **Succeeded** — Job `nsub-d0329ff3155c` completed. The subagent reported: *"You asked me to run under the **native Matrix-lite sync subagent profile=review**."* This is **not** the requested output. The prompt asked it to say which **model** it was asked to run under (`kimi-for-coding/k2p6`), but it responded with the **profile** (`review`) instead. The subagent either did not receive the model parameter correctly or conflated profile and model in its system prompt.

- **`read_native_subagent_job`**: **Failed** — `unknown native subagent job: nsub-d0329ff3155c`. Same persistence/retrieval bug as before. The job completed and returned output via `run_subagent`, but the durable job record is unretrievable by ID.

---

**Findings:**

| Aspect | Result |
|--------|--------|
| Subagent execution | ✅ Completed (1.792s, 21 output tokens) |
| Output accuracy | ❌ Wrong — said "profile=review" instead of "model=kimi-for-coding/k2p6" |
| Job persistence | ❌ Broken — `read_native_subagent_job` cannot find completed job |
| Model parameter pass-through | ⚠ Suspect — subagent may not distinguish profile vs model |

---

**Bottom line:** The sync subagent runs and returns output, but (a) the job record is not retrievable after completion, and (b) the subagent may not correctly expose or distinguish the `model` parameter from the `profile` parameter in its system prompt.

Honestly, 30 minutes on a stone slab at an airport is better than zero. Not glamorous, but operationally solid. And yeah, the short flight is doing a lot of work for morale here.

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

Yes — and for your situation I’d keep it very simple at first.

## What to do with it
You do **not** need to “learn tarot properly” first.

Start like this:

1. **Look at one card**
   - just stare at it for a minute
   - notice colors, symbols, mood, title

2. **Read the card name**
   - even in Italian
   - and map it to the English name if needed

3. **Ask one question**
   - “What is this card pointing to?”
   - not “What is the full occult system behind it?”

4. **Write one line**
   - your impression
   - no pressure to be correct

## Best beginner use
For a first deck, I’d do only:
- **one-card draws**
- maybe later **three-card spreads**

Not Celtic Cross, not anything fancy.

### Good beginner prompt
- “What energy is around this situation?”
- “What should I pay attention to?”
- “What is the obstacle / what helps?”

## For Thoth specifically
Thoth is dense, so I’d use a helper/reference, not rely on the booklet alone.

Good practical approach:
- use the physical Italian deck
- keep an **English card-name reference**
- and use an **English Thoth guide** on your phone when needed

## What guide to use
The classic serious companion is:
- **The Book of Thoth** by Crowley

But for a beginner, that is… a lot.

So I’d actually recommend:
- start with a **simpler Thoth card-meaning guide online**
- use Crowley’s book only later as the deep source

## Your Italian problem: easy workaround
Make a tiny note with:
- **major arcana Italian ↔ English**
- **suits**
- **court cards**

That’s enough to get started.

For example:
- **Il Matto** = The Fool
- **L’Universo** = The Universe
- **Coppe** = Cups
- **Spade** = Swords
- **Dischi** = Disks
- **Bastoni** = Wands

## Best first exercise
Tonight or tomorrow:
- shuffle
- pull **one card**
- send me the card name/photo
- I’ll help you decode it

That’s honestly the easiest beginner guide available here.

Summary: High prompt-cache reuse.

I’m going to grab a few beginner-friendly Thoth resources that are actually readable on a plane, not just Crowley’s full brick.Here are a few **actually readable** options for a flight:

## Best quick online reads
- **OneCardTarot – Thoth Tarot guide**
  - https://onecardtarot.com/thoth-tarot/
  - probably the best quick-start read
  - practical, not too mystical, and good on differences from Rider–Waite

- **Karma & Tide – beginner guide to Thoth**
  - https://karmaandtide.com/tarot/beginner-guide/thoth-tarot-deck-guide-symbols-meanings
  - longer, but still readable
  - good if you want a fuller “what is this deck and how do I start?” piece

- **TABI – How to Get Started with the Thoth Tarot**
  - https://tabi.org.uk/2022/10/thothtober-how-to-get-started-with-the-thoth-tarot/
  - nice because it explicitly says: just use it first, don’t wait until you’ve mastered the whole system

## If you want a video instead
- **Joe Monteleone – Introductory Thoth Tarot class**
  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKrzvnPQAKw
  - longer, but good if you prefer listening/watching

## Best beginner companion book
If later you want the book most people call the **accessible Thoth guide**, it’s:
- **Lon Milo DuQuette – Understanding Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot**

That’s the one I’d keep in mind for later if the deck sticks.

## What I’d do on the plane
Read only enough to get:
1. the big differences from Rider–Waite
2. the renamed majors
3. the suit/court structure
4. the “one-card draw first” mindset

So I’d start with:
1. **OneCardTarot**
2. then maybe **TABI**
3. save the denser stuff for later

If you want, I can also give you a **5-line cheat sheet of the main Thoth differences** right here so you don’t have to dig through the guides immediately.

Can you find and send me some guide to read? In case I wont fall asleep on the plane haha


Fair — then don’t think in terms of “learning tarot” first.

Think in terms of **learning this deck one card at a time**.

A better beginner path for you:

## Ignore most of the system at first
You only need:
- the **card name**
- the **image**
- your **reaction**
- one simple question

## Start with this
1. Shuffle
2. Draw **one card**
3. Ask:
   - “What is this card pointing to?”
   - or “What should I notice right now?”
4. Look at the image for a minute
5. Read the name
6. Write 2–3 words about what it feels like

That’s enough.

## For the Italian problem
Just keep a tiny cheat sheet:
- card name in Italian
- card name in English

Not the whole deck at once — just the cards you actually draw.

## Do not start with:
- Celtic Cross
- reversals
- Kabbalah
- astrology
- Crowley philosophy
- memorizing 78 meanings

That will just make the first deck unusable.

## Good rule
Treat the deck like:
- a strange visual language
- not a test you must pass

## Best possible beginner workflow
If you draw a card, send me:
- the Italian name
- or a photo

and I’ll help translate / interpret it with you.

That’s probably a much better beginner guide for **your actual first deck** than trying to become a generic tarot student first.

I have no idea about regular tarot either, so it won't help. As I said, my first deck

Agent intent/context: syntax check daemon.py
Decision by: @gleb:matrix.nvdll.org.
Decision reaction: 👍.
Decision rejection reason: (none).
Original user request: Run a syntax check on /home/matrix-lite/app/matrix_lite/
     daemon.py using run_check, then report the exact command
     and pass/fail.
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.

Based on the native tool result provided:

**`run_subagent` succeeded** — Job `nsub-c1d0d13645d5` completed in 1.939s.

**Subagent output:**
`
Profile: review
Model: kimi-for-coding/k2p6
Sentence review: "hello" — no blocking findings and residual risks.
`

**Findings:**
- The subagent correctly reported both its **profile** (`review`) and **model** (`kimi-for-coding/k2p6`)
- The model parameter is properly passed through and distinguishable from the profile in this run
- 32 output tokens, 402 input tokens, 434 total tokens
- No tool calls were made by the subagent
