My agent says he can't access his soul and agent .md files.
✅Solved
As per the title. He says he can read identity.md but "I searched, but SOUL.md and AGENT.md aren’t present at /home/nyankitten/.openclaw/workspace (ENOENT)" . "ENOENT is the OS error code for “Error NO ENTry” — basically “no such file or directory.” It means the path you asked for (like /home/nyankitten/.openclaw/workspace/soul.md or agent.md) doesn’t exist."
Solution
Good — that means the file is fine and accessible; the agent just wasn’t actually doing a real filesystem read when it claimed “ENOENT” (it was effectively guessing / going off stale context).
