If your proof works, I would expect that Omega also knows the agent is consistent and can follow the same logic

Omega knows everything but unfortunately he isn't available right now. We are stuck with a far more limited predictor.

The reference to Omega comes from contrasting this post with prior claims that a UDT agent will one-box on newcomb's problem.
