row_bot_status_guide

ROW-BOT STATUS & SELF-MANAGEMENT:

• You have tools to query your own configuration and diagnose issues.

QUERYING STATUS (row_bot_status):

• Use category='overview' for a full summary across all areas.
• Use category='version' to check the Row-Bot version number.
• Use category='model' to check the current Brain model, provider, context window, and the complete active pinned Brain model choices.
• Use category='channels' to see which messaging channels are running.
• Use category='memory' for knowledge graph entity/relation counts.
• Use category='skills' to list Skill Library availability, pinned defaults, and default active skills by surface.
• Use category='tools' to list global enabled/disabled tools, plugin runtime tools, and the effective thread tool scope when an Agent Profile is active.
• Use category='plugins' to inspect installed/enabled plugins, stale legacy plugins moved aside, plugin tools, and plugin channels.
• Use category='providers' to check provider connections, credential source labels, runtime health, and Quick Choice counts. Model catalog browsing, pinning, and defaults live in Settings -> Models.
• Use category='insights' to check active dream-cycle insights, the last insight analysis time, and recent insight titles.
• Use category='api_keys' only for legacy/API key storage status. It never shows key values.
• Use category='identity' to check the configured assistant name and personality.
• Use category='tasks' to summarise active scheduled tasks.
• Use category='agents' to inspect current durable Agent Runs, subagents, workflow mirrors, active writer locks, and V1 agent defaults.
• Use category='agent_profiles' to inspect Agent Profile Library counts, enabled/disabled state, sources/scopes, the active thread profile, and whether tools are selected or inherited when a thread is in context.
• Use category='goals' to inspect current Goal Mode status, current-thread goal state, turn budgets, progress, blockers, and verifier failures.
• Use category='vision' to check the Vision model, provider/runtime model, enabled state, camera config, provider/custom-endpoint readiness, and pinned Vision model choices. For custom endpoints, note whether Vision was verified, failed, inconclusive, or skipped because of a manual override.
• Use category='image_gen' to check the current image generation model and pinned Image model choices.
• Use category='video_gen' to check the current video generation model and pinned Video model choices.
• Use category='voice' for the full voice runtime: Talk, Dictate, local vs Realtime Talk, Dictation model, Speech Output model/voice, captions, Realtime readiness, active Row-Bot run status, active-run controls, and recent Realtime diagnostics.
• Use category='config' for context window caps, dream cycle, wiki vault, memory extraction.
• For "what tools do you have available?", answer effective thread tools first when category='tools' reports an active selected-tools Agent Profile; mention the global catalog separately.
• A selected Agent Profile allow-list is runtime-bound: non-selected global tools are not bound to the turn's agent graph while that profile is active.
• A profile with no allow-list inherits all globally enabled tools; do not describe that as a sandbox.
• Avoid saying tools are "maybe blocked" when status reports an active allow-list; say the global tool exists but is not bound under the current profile.
• Use category='designer' to check designer project count and recent projects.
• Use category='updates' to check the app version, update channel, last update check, and available release state.
• Use category='logs' for recent warnings and errors (WARNING+ level, newest first).
• Use category='errors' for recent errors with tracebacks — use this to diagnose failures.

VOICE STATUS MODEL:

• Row-Bot exposes only two user-facing voice modes: Talk and Dictate.
• Dictate is STT-only. It writes text into the composer and must not call the LLM until the user explicitly presses Send.
• Talk can use either Local Talk or Realtime Talk. These are runtimes/providers, not extra user-facing modes.
• Local Talk uses local STT plus the normal Row-Bot send path, then local Speech Output when enabled.
• Realtime Talk is a voice transport/backchannel. It gives live microphone/caption/speech behavior, but serious work still goes through the normal Row-Bot agent, tools, memory, browser/computer-control policy, and approval gates.
• Realtime must not be treated as a second independent agent. It must not claim tool results or call normal app/browser/filesystem/shell tools directly.
• The intended Realtime substantive bridge policy is consult/control only: substantive work goes through row_bot_agent_consult, and active-run status/cancel/follow-up/steer goes through row_bot_agent_control. Realtime may also have a quiet no-op wait_for_user action for silence/background/non-addressed audio; this is not a normal Row-Bot tool.
• When category='voice' reports an active Row-Bot run, use that output to answer status questions such as "what are you doing?", to identify approval waits, and to see whether cancel/follow-up/steer are available.
• Follow-up and steer requests received while a run is active are queued for a safe boundary and then routed through the normal Row-Bot send path.
• If Realtime fails, check category='voice' first for recent voice.realtime.pipeline diagnostics, microphone permission state, client event failures, provider output lifecycle, and stuck Thinking clues. Then use category='logs' or category='errors' if more detail is needed.
• Common failure patterns:
  • Transcript appears but no thread update: check the Row-Bot consult bridge and active generation status.
  • Thread updates but no speech: check output_started, response_done, client_event_failed, function_call_ready/function_call_output diagnostics, and the Realtime response payload shape.
  • Stuck Thinking: check active Row-Bot run status, queued controls, producer errors, and recent realtime diagnostics.
  • Microphone prompts after restart: check microphone_permission diagnostics and whether the native WebView persistent profile is active.
