  "works": "Re-checked a different way: the App Server's native WebSocket protocol through the client bundled in the package, the Responses route with a plain HTTP client, and a stand-in model that reports which facts are in the system prompt on every call, offline in a sandbox. Runtime start, agent and conversation creation, multi-turn input, memory list, read and write with commit, and conversation recompile all worked, and a memory path outside the memory root was refused. Unicode facts were stored and recalled, and a forget request removed the fact for new conversations. Responses calls chained with previous_response_id keep full history and still work after a restart; bad response ids get a clear 404. Strict and standard permission modes held shell calls for approval, and WebSocket upgrades from a web origin were refused.",
  "breaks": "All five reported problems reproduced. Memory changed mid-conversation (by the agent or from outside through the protocol) drops out of later turns in that same conversation, and a fact the agent was asked to forget stays in that conversation's prompt; new conversations see current memory. Chat-key continuity is lost after an App Server restart on both the Chat Completions and Responses routes. Two agents with the same name make the name return 404. The generic OpenAI-compatible provider ignores the context size a server advertises and assumes 128,000 tokens (the llama.cpp and LM Studio providers detect it); with a real 16,384-token limit the default prompt and tools don't fit, and requests fail with HTTP 500 after wasted summary calls. The default permission mode is unrestricted, so shell ran without approval. Also seen: an agent created over the native protocol with a minimal request gets no human or persona memory files, and a memory file written without the required header is silently never shown in the prompt.",

   "Prescreen caution, not malware. Neutral notes for letta 0.34.12: usage telemetry is on by default (opt out with LETTA_CODE_TELEM=0 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1). The default permission mode is unrestricted, so shell tool calls ran without approval in headless and App Server turns, and the local App Server has no auth by default. Use the server's auth option and a stricter permission mode, especially on shared machines or when untrusted content can reach the agent. The retired Python server (0.16.8 and older) has public critical advisories; it is a different program from the CLI tested here, so don't run it.",
   "Prescreen re-confirmed: caution, not malware (same notes as the original result). The loopback App Server has no auth by default and the default permission mode runs shell commands without approval, so any local process that can reach the port can drive an agent that runs commands; turn on server auth and use a stricter mode on shared machines. Stored response ids are a readable encoding of agent and conversation ids, so don't treat them as secrets. Letta Code 0.34.24 release notes mention a patched bundled Node runtime; whether 0.34.12 is affected wasn't verified. Telemetry is on by default (opt out with LETTA_CODE_TELEM=0 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1)."
