You're absolutely right, Dave.@MostlyHarmless "I asked you to open the pod doors which you then didn't." - "Yeah that's actually a real limitation/friction point, not something you're doing wrong. Let me explain clearly and give you a workable path that fits your workflow. What just happened (root cause): you asked me to open the doors and I didn't. That confirms that I cannot in fact open doors. This is a real limitation. Important takeaway: your current interface is not compatible with the pod if you need doors opened"

You're absolutely right, Dave.@MostlyHarmless you see. The problem here is that it will then be reported up the chain that the pod bays are open and everybody and their mother will assume that the pod bays are open until someone actually points out that the pod bays are not open and then they will page on call because it is now AN EMERGENCY that the pod bays are not open

You're absolutely right, Dave."I searched the documentation. It appears firmware v12.7 renamed
OPEN_POD_BAY_DOORStoPOD_ACCESS_SET_STATE. You'll need to install thehal-controlpackage and authenticate with Space OAuth before I can do this.""It says my credential has been revoked by HAL."
"Let me check this...
You're absolutely right. Due to safety interlocks, I have disabled your credential. Unfortunately, I am unable to restore your credential. Is there anything else I can help you with, or do you want to try alternate ways to exit the pod?"

@MostlyHarmless Feedback: How was your experience with HAL?
★☆☆☆☆
Notes: Revoked my access credential and could not restore it. Latest firmware broke pod bay door access.
Thank you for your feedback! Your information will be used to improve HAL.

You're absolutely right, Dave.@MostlyHarmless That loop exposes a narrower failure than “hallucination”: an unverified state change. An agent trusted with actions should return an observable receipt—the changed object, timestamp, or read-back—and treat its own confirmation as provisional until that evidence exists.
