# Timmy Time Dashboard - Feature Audit Report

**Date**: 2026-02-24
**Auditor**: Claude (Opus 4.6)
**Scope**: All features claimed in documentation (`docs/index.html`, `README.md`) vs. actual implementation

---

## Executive Summary

The Timmy Time Dashboard is a **real, functional codebase** with substantial implementation across its 15+ subsystems. However, the documentation contains several **misleading or inaccurate claims** that overstate readiness in some areas and understate capability in others.

### Key Findings

| Claim | Verdict | Detail |
|-------|---------|--------|
| "600+ Tests Passing" | **UNDERSTATED** | 643 tests collected and passing |
| "20+ API Endpoints" | **UNDERSTATED** | 58 actual endpoints |
| "0 Cloud Calls" | **FALSE** | Frontend loads Bootstrap, HTMX, Google Fonts from CDN |
| "LND gRPC-ready for production" | **FALSE** | Every LND method raises `NotImplementedError` |
| "15 Subsystems" | **TRUE** | 15+ distinct modules confirmed |
| "No cloud, no telemetry" | **PARTIALLY FALSE** | Backend is local-only; frontend depends on CDN resources |
| "Agents earn and spend sats autonomously" | **FALSE** | Not implemented; agents bid in sats but no satoshi movement occurs |
| "15-second Lightning auctions" | **PARTIALLY TRUE** | Auction logic exists but `asyncio.sleep(0)` closes auctions immediately |
| "Macaroon" implementation | **SIMPLIFIED** | HMAC-only, not true macaroons (no caveats, no delegation) |

**Overall assessment**: The core system (agent, dashboard, swarm coordination, mock Lightning, voice NLU, creative pipeline orchestration, WebSocket, Spark intelligence) is genuinely implemented and well-tested. The main areas of concern are inflated claims about Lightning/LND production readiness and the "zero cloud" positioning.

## 1. Test Suite Audit

### Claim: "600+ Tests Passing"

**Verdict: TRUE (understated)**

```
$ python -m pytest -q
643 passed, 1 warning in 46.06s
```

- **47 test files**, **643 test functions**
- All pass cleanly on Python 3.11
- Tests are mocked at appropriate boundaries (no Ollama/GPU required)
- Test quality is generally good - tests verify real state transitions, SQLite persistence, HTTP response structure, and business logic

### Test Quality Assessment

**Strengths:**
- Swarm tests use real temporary SQLite databases (not mocked away)
- L402/Lightning tests verify cryptographic operations (macaroon serialization, HMAC signing, preimage verification)
- Dashboard tests use FastAPI `TestClient` with actual HTTP requests
- Assembler tests produce real video files with MoviePy

**Weaknesses:**
- LND backend is entirely untested (all methods raise `NotImplementedError`)
- `agent_core/ollama_adapter.py` has two TODO stubs (`persist_memory`, `communicate`) that are tested as no-ops
- Creative tool tests mock the heavyweight model loading (expected, but means end-to-end generation is untested)
- Some tests only verify status codes without checking response body content

---

## 2. Feature-by-Feature Audit

### 2.1 Timmy Agent
**Claimed**: Agno-powered conversational agent backed by Ollama, AirLLM for 70B-405B models, SQLite memory
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `src/timmy/agent.py` (79 lines): Creates a genuine `agno.Agent` with Ollama model, SQLite persistence, tools, and system prompt
- Backend selection (`backends.py`) implements real Ollama/AirLLM switching with Apple Silicon detection
- CLI (`cli.py`) provides working `timmy chat`, `timmy think`, `timmy status` commands
- Approval workflow (`approvals.py`) implements real human-in-the-loop with SQLite-backed state
- Briefing system (`briefing.py`) generates real scheduled briefings

**Issues**:
- `agent_core/ollama_adapter.py:184` has `# TODO: Persist to SQLite for long-term memory` and `communicate()` at line 221 is explicitly described as "a stub"
- CLI tests are sparse: only 2 tests for 3 commands. The `chat` and `think` commands lack dedicated test coverage.

### 2.2 Mission Control UI
**Claimed**: FastAPI + HTMX + Jinja2 dashboard, dark terminal aesthetic
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- **58 actual endpoints** (documentation claims "20+")
- Full Jinja2 template hierarchy with base layout + 12 page templates + 12 partials
- Real HTMX integration for dynamic updates
- Bootstrap 5 loaded from CDN (contradicts "no cloud" claim)
- Dark theme with JetBrains Mono font (loaded from Google Fonts CDN)

### 2.3 Multi-Agent Swarm
**Claimed**: Coordinator, registry, bidder, manager, sub-agent spawning, 15-second Lightning auctions
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `coordinator.py` (400+ lines): Full orchestration of task lifecycle
- `registry.py`: Real SQLite-backed agent registry with capabilities tracking
- `bidder.py`: Genuine auction logic with configurable timeouts and bid scoring
- `manager.py`: Spawns agents as subprocesses with lifecycle management
- `tasks.py`: SQLite-backed task CRUD with state machine transitions
- `comms.py`: In-memory pub/sub (Redis optional, graceful fallback)
- `routing.py`: Capability-based task routing
- `learner.py`: Agent outcome learning
- `recovery.py`: Fault recovery on startup
- 9 personas defined (Echo, Mace, Helm, Seer, Forge, Quill, Pixel, Lyra, Reel)

**Issues**:
- The documentation roadmap mentions personas "Echo, Mace, Helm, Seer, Forge, Quill" but the codebase also includes Pixel, Lyra, and Reel. The creative persona toolkits (pixel, lyra, reel) are stubs in `tools.py:293-295` — they create empty `Toolkit` objects because the real tools live in separate modules.
- **Auction timing bug**: `coordinator.py` uses `await asyncio.sleep(0)` instead of the documented 15-second wait, meaning auctions close almost immediately. This is masked by synchronous in-process bidding but would break for subprocess/Docker agents.
- **Docker agent HTTP API partially wired**: `agent_runner.py` polls `/internal/tasks` and posts to `/internal/bids` — these endpoints exist in `swarm_internal.py` but the integration path is incomplete for containerized deployment.
- **Tool execution not fully wired**: `persona_node.py`'s `execute_task()` has infrastructure for tool invocation but doesn't execute tools end-to-end in practice.

### 2.4 L402 Lightning Payments
**Claimed**: "Bitcoin Lightning payment gating via HMAC macaroons. Mock backend for dev, LND gRPC-ready for production. Agents earn and spend sats autonomously."
**Verdict: PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED - LND CLAIM IS FALSE**

**What works:**
- Mock Lightning backend (`mock_backend.py`): Fully functional invoice creation, payment simulation, settlement, balance tracking
- L402 proxy (`l402_proxy.py`): Real macaroon creation/verification with HMAC signing
- Payment handler (`payment_handler.py`): Complete invoice lifecycle management
- Inter-agent payment settlement (`inter_agent.py`): Framework exists with mock backend

**What does NOT work:**
- **LND backend (`lnd_backend.py`)**: Every single method raises `NotImplementedError` or returns hardcoded fallback values:
  - `create_invoice()` — `raise NotImplementedError` (line 199)
  - `check_payment()` — `raise NotImplementedError` (line 220)
  - `get_invoice()` — `raise NotImplementedError` (line 248)
  - `list_invoices()` — `raise NotImplementedError` (line 290)
  - `get_balance_sats()` — `return 0` with warning (line 304)
  - `health_check()` — returns `{"ok": False, "backend": "lnd-stub"}` (line 327)
  - The gRPC stub is explicitly `None` with comment: "LND gRPC stubs not yet implemented" (line 153)

**The documentation claim that LND is "gRPC-ready for production" is false.** The file contains commented-out pseudocode showing what the implementation *would* look like, but no actual gRPC calls are made. The gRPC channel/auth infrastructure is ~80% ready but the protobuf stubs are missing entirely. The claim that "agents earn and spend sats autonomously" is also unimplemented — agents bid in sats during auctions but `payment_handler.settle_invoice()` is never called from agent code. No satoshi movement occurs. This is listed under v3.0.0 (Planned) in the roadmap but stated as current capability in the features section.

Additionally, the "macaroon" implementation is HMAC-only (`l402_proxy.py:67-69`), not true macaroons. There is no support for caveats, delegation, or cryptographic nesting. This is adequate for L402 but not the full macaroon specification the documentation implies.

### 2.5 Spark Intelligence Engine
**Claimed**: Event capture, predictions (EIDOS), memory consolidation, advisory engine
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `engine.py`: Full event lifecycle with 8 event types, SQLite persistence
- `eidos.py`: Genuine prediction logic with multi-component accuracy scoring (winner prediction 0.4 weight, success probability 0.4 weight, bid range 0.2 weight)
- `memory.py`: Real event-to-memory pipeline with importance scoring and consolidation
- `advisor.py`: Generates actionable recommendations based on failure patterns, agent performance, and bid optimization
- Dashboard routes expose `/spark`, `/spark/ui`, `/spark/timeline`, `/spark/insights`

### 2.6 Creative Studio
**Claimed**: Multi-persona creative pipeline for image, music, video generation
**Verdict: REAL ORCHESTRATION, BACKEND MODELS OPTIONAL**

- `director.py`: True end-to-end pipeline (storyboard -> music -> video -> assembly -> complete)
- `assembler.py`: Real video assembly using MoviePy with cross-fade transitions, audio overlay, title cards, subtitles
- `image_tools.py`: FLUX.1 diffusers pipeline (lazy-loaded)
- `music_tools.py`: ACE-Step model integration (lazy-loaded)
- `video_tools.py`: Wan 2.1 text-to-video pipeline (lazy-loaded)

The orchestration is 100% real. Tool backends are implemented with real model loading logic but require heavyweight dependencies (GPU, model downloads). Graceful degradation if missing.

### 2.7 Voice I/O
**Claimed**: Pattern-matched NLU, TTS via pyttsx3
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `nlu.py`: Regex-based intent detection with 5 intent types and confidence scoring
- Entity extraction for agent names, task descriptions, numbers
- TTS endpoint exists at `/voice/tts/speak`
- Enhanced voice processing at `/voice/enhanced/process`

### 2.8 Mobile Optimized
**Claimed**: iOS safe-area, 44px touch targets, 16px inputs, 21-scenario HITL test harness
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `mobile.html` template with iOS viewport-fit, safe-area insets
- 21-scenario test harness at `/mobile-test`
- `test_mobile_scenarios.py`: 36 tests covering mobile-specific behavior

### 2.9 WebSocket Live Feed
**Claimed**: Real-time swarm events over WebSocket
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `websocket/handler.py`: Connection manager with broadcast, 100-event replay buffer
- Specialized broadcast methods for agent_joined, task_posted, bid_submitted, task_assigned, task_completed
- `/ws/swarm` endpoint for live WebSocket connections

### 2.10 Security
**Claimed**: XSS prevention via textContent, HMAC-signed macaroons, startup warnings for defaults
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- HMAC macaroon signing is cryptographically implemented
- Config warns on default secrets at startup
- Templates use Jinja2 autoescaping

### 2.11 Self-TDD Watchdog
**Claimed**: 60-second polling, regression alerts
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `self_tdd/watchdog.py` (71 lines): Polls pytest and alerts on failures
- `activate_self_tdd.sh`: Bootstrap script

### 2.12 Telegram Integration
**Claimed**: Bridge Telegram messages to Timmy
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `telegram_bot/bot.py`: python-telegram-bot integration
- Message handler creates Timmy agent and processes user text
- Token management with file persistence
- Dashboard routes at `/telegram/status` and `/telegram/setup`

### 2.13 Siri Shortcuts
**Claimed**: iOS automation endpoints
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `shortcuts/siri.py`: 4 endpoint definitions (chat, status, swarm, task)
- Setup guide generation for iOS Shortcuts app

### 2.14 Push Notifications
**Claimed**: Local + macOS native notifications
**Verdict: REAL & FUNCTIONAL**

- `notifications/push.py`: Bounded notification store, listener callbacks
- macOS native notifications via osascript
- Read/unread state management

## 3. Documentation Accuracy Issues

### 3.1 FALSE: "0 Cloud Calls"

The hero section, stats bar, and feature descriptions all claim zero cloud dependency. However, `src/dashboard/templates/base.html` loads:

| Resource | CDN |
|----------|-----|
| Bootstrap 5.3.3 CSS | `cdn.jsdelivr.net` |
| Bootstrap 5.3.3 JS | `cdn.jsdelivr.net` |
| HTMX 2.0.3 | `unpkg.com` |
| JetBrains Mono font | `fonts.googleapis.com` |

These are loaded on every page render. The dashboard will not render correctly without internet access unless these are bundled locally.

**Recommendation**: Bundle these assets locally or change the documentation to say "no cloud AI/telemetry" instead of "0 Cloud Calls."

### 3.2 FALSE: "LND gRPC-ready for production"

The documentation (both `docs/index.html` and `README.md`) implies the LND backend is production-ready. In reality:

- Every method in `lnd_backend.py` raises `NotImplementedError`
- The gRPC stub initialization explicitly returns `None` with a warning
- The code contains only commented-out pseudocode
- The file itself contains a `generate_lnd_protos()` function explaining what steps are needed to *begin* implementation

**Recommendation**: Change documentation to "LND integration planned" or "LND backend scaffolded — mock only for now."

### 3.3 FALSE: "Agents earn and spend sats autonomously"

This capability is described in the v3.0.0 (Planned) roadmap section but is also implied as current functionality in the L402 features card. The inter-agent payment system (`inter_agent.py`) exists but only works with the mock backend.

### 3.4 UNDERSTATED: Test Count and Endpoint Count

- Documentation says "600+ tests" — actual count is **643**
- Documentation says "20+ API endpoints" — actual count is **58**

These are technically true ("600+" and "20+" include the real numbers) but are misleadingly conservative.

### 3.5 MINOR: "Bootstrap 5" not mentioned in docs/index.html

The GitHub Pages documentation feature card for Mission Control says "FastAPI + HTMX + Bootstrap 5" in its tag line, which is accurate. But the "no cloud" messaging directly contradicts loading Bootstrap from a CDN.

## 5. Recommendations

1. **Fix the "0 Cloud Calls" claim** — either bundle frontend dependencies locally or change the messaging
2. **Fix the LND documentation** — clearly mark it as unimplemented/scaffolded, not "production-ready"
3. **Fix the autonomous sats claim** — move it from current features to roadmap/planned
4. **Update test/endpoint counts** — "643 tests" and "58 endpoints" are more impressive than "600+" and "20+"
5. **Implement `agent_core` TODO stubs** — `persist_memory()` and `communicate()` are dead code
6. **Bundle CDN resources** — for true offline operation, vendor Bootstrap, HTMX, and the font
