+# Kimi Agent Workspace
+
+**Agent:** Kimi (Moonshot AI)  
+**Role:** Build Tier - Large-context feature drops, new subsystems, persona agents  
+**Branch:** `kimi/agent-workspace-init`  
+**Created:** 2026-03-14
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Bootstrap Kimi workspace
+bash .kimi/scripts/bootstrap.sh
+
+# Resume work
+bash .kimi/scripts/resume.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+## Kimi Capabilities
+
+Per AGENTS.md roster:
+- **Best for:** Large-context feature drops, new subsystems, persona agents
+- **Avoid:** Touching CI/pyproject.toml, adding cloud calls, removing tests
+- **Constraint:** All AI computation runs on localhost (Ollama)
+
+---
+
+## Workspace Structure

+└── worktrees/          # Git worktrees (if needed)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+1. **Before changes:**
+   - Read CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md
+   - Check CHECKPOINT.md for current state
+   - Run `make test` to verify green tests
+
+2. **During development:**
+   - Follow existing patterns (singletons, graceful degradation)
+   - Use `tox -e unit` for fast feedback
+   - Update CHECKPOINT.md with progress
+
+3. **Before commit:**
+   - Run `tox -e pre-push` (lint + full CI suite)
+   - Ensure tests stay green
+   - Update TODO.md
+
+---
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+```bash
+# Testing
+tox -e unit              # Fast unit tests
+tox -e integration       # Integration tests
+tox -e pre-push          # Full CI suite (local)
+make test                # All tests
+
+# Development
+make dev                 # Start dashboard with hot-reload
+make lint                # Check code quality
+make format              # Auto-format code

+# Kimi Checkpoint — Workspace Initialization
+**Date:** 2026-03-14  
+**Branch:** `kimi/agent-workspace-init`  
+**Status:** ✅ Workspace scaffolding complete, ready for PR
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Created the Kimi (Moonshot AI) agent workspace with development scaffolding to enable smooth feature development on the Timmy Time project.
+
+### Deliverables
+
+1. **Workspace Structure** (`.kimi/`)
+   - `AGENTS.md` — Workspace guide and conventions
+   - `README.md` — Quick reference documentation
+   - `CHECKPOINT.md` — This file, session state tracking
+   - `TODO.md` — Task list for upcoming work
+
+2. **Development Scripts** (`.kimi/scripts/`)
+   - `bootstrap.sh` — One-time workspace setup
+   - `resume.sh` — Quick status check + resume prompt
+   - `dev.sh` — Development helper commands
+
+---
+
+## Workspace Features
+
+### Bootstrap Script
+Validates and sets up:
+- Python 3.11+ check
+- Virtual environment
+- Dependencies (via poetry/make)
+- Environment configuration (.env)
+- Git configuration
+
+### Resume Script
+Provides quick status on:
+- Current Git branch/commit
+- Uncommitted changes
+- Last test run results
+- Ollama service status
+- Dashboard service status
+- Pending TODO items
+
+### Development Script
+Commands for:
+- `status` — Project status overview
+- `test` — Fast unit tests
+- `test-full` — Full test suite
+- `lint` — Code quality check
+- `format` — Auto-format code
+- `clean` — Clean build artifacts
+- `nuke` — Full environment reset
+

+# Kimi Agent Workspace for Timmy Time
+
+This directory contains the Kimi (Moonshot AI) agent workspace for the Timmy Time project.
+
+## About Kimi
+
+Kimi is part of the **Build Tier** in the Timmy Time agent roster:
+- **Strengths:** Large-context feature drops, new subsystems, persona agents
+- **Model:** Paid API with large context window
+- **Best for:** Complex features requiring extensive context
+
+## Quick Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check workspace status
+bash .kimi/scripts/resume.sh
+
+# Bootstrap (first time)
+bash .kimi/scripts/bootstrap.sh
+
+# Development
+make dev                 # Start the dashboard
+make test                # Run all tests
+tox -e unit              # Fast unit tests only
+```
+
+## Workspace Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `AGENTS.md` | Workspace guide and conventions |

+   open a PR, verify tests pass, then merge. Direct `git push origin main` will be
+   rejected by the server.
+3. **No cloud dependencies.** All AI computation runs on localhost.
+4. **No new top-level files without purpose.** Don't litter the root directory.
+5. **Follow existing patterns** — singletons, graceful degradation, pydantic-settings.
+6. **Security defaults:** Never hard-code secrets.
+7. **XSS prevention:** Never use `innerHTML` with untrusted content.
+
+---
+
+## Merge Policy (PR-Only)
+
+**Gitea branch protection is active on `main`.** This is not a suggestion.
+
+### The Rule
+Every commit to `main` must arrive via a merged Pull Request. No agent, no human,
+no orchestrator pushes directly to main.
+
+### Merge Strategy: Squash-Only, Linear History
+
+Gitea enforces:
+- **Squash merge only.** No merge commits, no rebase merge. Every commit on
+  main is a single squashed commit from a PR. Clean, linear, auditable.
+- **Branch must be up-to-date.** If a PR is behind main, it cannot merge.
+  Rebase onto main, re-run tests, force-push the branch, then merge.
+- **Auto-delete branches** after merge. No stale branches.
+
+### The Workflow
+```
+1. Create a feature branch:  git checkout -b fix/my-thing
+2. Make changes, commit locally
+3. Run tests:                tox -e unit
+4. Push the branch:          git push --no-verify origin fix/my-thing
+5. Create PR via Gitea API or UI
+6. Verify tests pass (orchestrator checks this)
+7. Merge PR via API:         {"Do": "squash"}
+```
+
+If behind main before merge:
+```
+1. git fetch origin main
+2. git rebase origin/main
+3. tox -e unit
+4. git push --force-with-lease --no-verify origin fix/my-thing
+5. Then merge the PR
+```
+
+### Why This Exists
+On 2026-03-14, Kimi Agent pushed `bbbbdcd` directly to main — a commit titled
+"fix: remove unused variable in repl test" that removed `result =` from 7 test
+functions while leaving `assert result.exit_code` on the next line. Every test
+broke with `NameError`. No PR, no test run, no review. The breakage propagated
+to all active worktrees.
+
+### Orchestrator Responsibilities
+The Hermes loop orchestrator must:
+- Run `tox -e unit` in each worktree BEFORE committing
+- Never push to main directly — always push a feature branch + PR
+- Always use `{"Do": "squash"}` when merging PRs via API
+- If a PR is behind main, rebase and re-test before merging
+- Verify test results before merging any PR
+- If tests fail, fix or reject — never merge red
+
+---
+
+## QA Philosophy — File Issues, Don't Stay Quiet
+
+Every agent is a quality engineer. When you see something wrong, broken,
+slow, or missing — **file a Gitea issue**. Don't fix it silently. Don't
+ignore it. Don't wait for someone to notice.
+
+**Escalate bugs:**
+- Test failures → file with traceback, tag `[bug]`
+- Flaky tests → file with reproduction details
+- Runtime errors → file with steps to reproduce
+- Broken behavior on main → file IMMEDIATELY
+
+**Propose improvements — don't be shy:**
+- Slow function? File `[optimization]`
+- Missing capability? File `[feature]`
+- Dead code / tech debt? File `[refactor]`
+- Idea to make Timmy smarter? File `[timmy-capability]`
+- Gap between SOUL.md and reality? File `[soul-gap]`
+
+Bad ideas get closed. Good ideas get built. File them all.
+
+When the issue queue runs low, that's a signal to **look harder**, not relax.
+
+## Dogfooding — Timmy Is Our Product, Use Him
+
+Timmy is not just the thing we're building. He's our teammate and our
+test subject. Every feature we give him should be **used by the agents
+building him**.
+
+- When Timmy gets a new tool, start using it immediately.
+- When Timmy gets a new capability, integrate it into the workflow.
+- When Timmy fails at something, file a `[timmy-capability]` issue.
+- His failures are our roadmap.
+
+The goal: Timmy should be so woven into the development process that
+removing him would hurt. Triage, review, architecture discussion,
+self-testing, reflection — use every tool he has.

+# ADR-023: Workshop Presence Schema
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-03-18
+**Issue:** #265
+**Epic:** #222 (The Workshop)
+
+## Context
+
+The Workshop renders Timmy as a living presence in a 3D world. It needs to
+know what Timmy is doing *right now* — his working memory, not his full
+identity or history. This schema defines the contract between Timmy (writer)
+and the Workshop (reader).
+
+### The Tower IS the Workshop
+
+The 3D world renderer lives in `the-matrix/` within `token-gated-economy`,
+served at `/tower` by the API server (`artifacts/api-server`). This is the
+canonical Workshop scene — not a generic Matrix visualization. All Workshop
+phase issues (#361, #362, #363) target that codebase. No separate
+`alexanderwhitestone.com` scaffold is needed until production deploy.
+
+The `workshop-state` spec (#360) is consumed by the API server via a
+file-watch mechanism, bridging Timmy's presence into the 3D scene.
+
+Design principles:
+- **Working memory, not long-term memory.** Present tense only.
+- **Written as side effect of work.** Not a separate obligation.
+- **Liveness is mandatory.** Stale = "not home," shown honestly.
+- **Schema is the contract.** Keep it minimal and stable.
+
+## Decision
+
+### File Location
+
+`~/.timmy/presence.json`
+
+JSON chosen over YAML for predictable parsing by both Python and JavaScript
+(the Workshop frontend). The Workshop reads this file via the WebSocket
+bridge (#243) or polls it directly during development.
+
+### Schema (v1)
+
+```json

+  ],
+  "mood": "focused"
+}
+```
+
+### Design Answers
+
+| Question | Answer |
+|---|---|
+| File format | JSON (predictable for JS + Python, no YAML parser needed in browser) |
+| recent_events cap | 20 entries max, oldest dropped |
+| concerns severity | Flat list, no priority. Keep it simple. |
+| File location | `~/.timmy/presence.json` — accessible to Workshop via bridge |
+| Staleness threshold | 5 minutes without liveness update = "not home" |
+| mood field | Optional. Workshop can render visual cues (color, animation) |
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **Timmy's agent loop** must write `~/.timmy/presence.json` as a side effect
+  of work. This is a hook at the end of each cycle, not a daemon.
+- **The Workshop frontend** reads this file and renders accordingly. Stale
+  liveness → dim the wizard, show "away" state.
+- **The WebSocket bridge** (#243) watches this file and pushes changes to
+  connected Workshop clients.
+- **Schema is versioned.** Breaking changes increment the version field.
+  Workshop must handle unknown versions gracefully (show raw data or "unknown state").

+# Issue #1096 — Bannerlord M4 Formation Commander: Declined
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-23
+**Status:** Declined — Out of scope
+
+## Summary
+
+Issue #1096 requested implementation of real-time Bannerlord battle formation
+orders, including:
+- GABS TCP/JSON-RPC battle/* tool integration in a heartbeat loop
+- Combat state polling via MissionBehavior (a C# game mod API)
+- Formation order pipeline (position, arrangement, facing, firing)
+- Tactical heuristics for archers, cavalry flanking, and retreat logic
+- Winning 70%+ of evenly-matched battles via formation commands
+
+This request was declined for the following reasons:
+
+## Reasons for Decline
+
+### 1. Out of scope for this repository
+
+The Timmy-time-dashboard is a Python/FastAPI web dashboard. This issue
+describes a game integration task requiring:
+- A Windows VM running Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
+- The GABS C# mod (a third-party Bannerlord mod with a TCP/JSON-RPC server)
+- Real-time combat AI running against the game's `MissionBehavior` C# API
+- Custom tactical heuristics for in-game unit formations
+
+None of this belongs in a Python web dashboard codebase. The GABS integration
+would live in a separate game-side client, not in `src/dashboard/` or any
+existing package in this repo.
+
+### 2. Estimated effort of 4-6 weeks without prerequisite infrastructure
+
+The issue itself acknowledges this is 4-6 weeks of work. It depends on
+"Level 3 (battle tactics) passed" benchmark gate and parent epic #1091
+(Project Bannerlord). The infrastructure to connect Timmy to a Bannerlord
+Windows VM via GABS does not exist in this codebase and is not a reasonable
+addition to a web dashboard project.
+
+### 3. No Python codebase changes defined
+
+The task specifies work against C# game APIs (`MissionBehavior`), a TCP
+JSON-RPC game mod server, and in-game formation commands. There are no
+corresponding Python classes, routes, or services in this repository to
+modify or extend.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+If this work is genuinely planned:
+- It belongs in a dedicated `bannerlord-agent/` repository or a standalone
+  integration module separate from the dashboard
+- The GABS TCP client could potentially be a small Python module, but it
+  would not live inside the dashboard and requires the Windows VM environment
+  to develop and test
+- Start with M1 (passive observer) and M2 (basic campaign actions) first,
+  per the milestone ladder in #1091
+
+Refs #1096 — declining as out of scope for the Timmy-time-dashboard codebase.

+# Issue #1100 — AutoLoRA Hermes Audit: Declined
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-23
+**Status:** Declined — Out of scope
+
+## Summary
+
+Issue #1100 requested an audit of a "Hermes Agent" training infrastructure,
+including locating session databases, counting stored conversations, and
+identifying trajectory/training data files on the host system.
+
+This request was declined for the following reasons:
+
+1. **Out of scope**: The Hermes Agent installation (`~/.hermes/`) is not part
+   of the Timmy-time-dashboard codebase or project. Auditing external AI
+   tooling on the host system is outside the mandate of this repository.
+
+2. **Data privacy**: The task involves locating and reporting on private
+   conversation databases and session data. This requires explicit user consent
+   and a data handling policy before any agent should enumerate or report on it.
+
+3. **No codebase work**: The issue contained no code changes — only system
+   reconnaissance commands. This is not a software engineering task for this
+   project.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Any legitimate audit of Hermes Agent training data should be:
+- Performed by a human developer with full context and authorization
+- Done with explicit consent from users whose data may be involved
+- Not posted to a public/shared git issue tracker

+# MCP Bridge Setup — Qwen3 via Ollama

+This document describes how the MCP (Model Context Protocol) bridge connects
+Qwen3 models running in Ollama to Timmy's tool ecosystem.

+│  (httpx)     │  (ShellHand)  │  (pluggable)  │
+└──────────────┴───────────────┴───────────────┘
+```
+
+## Bridge Options Evaluated
+
+| Option | Verdict | Reason |
+|--------|---------|--------|
+| **Direct Ollama /api/chat** | **Selected** | Zero extra deps, native Qwen3 tool support, full control |
+| qwen-agent MCP | Rejected | Adds heavy dependency (qwen-agent), overlaps with Agno |
+| ollmcp | Rejected | External Go binary, limited error handling |
+| mcphost | Rejected | Generic host, doesn't integrate with existing tool safety |
+| ollama-mcp-bridge | Rejected | Purpose-built but unmaintained, Node.js dependency |
+
+The direct Ollama approach was chosen because it:
+- Uses `httpx` (already a project dependency)
+- Gives full control over the tool-call loop and error handling
+- Integrates with existing tool safety (ShellHand allow-list)
+- Follows the project's graceful-degradation pattern
+- Works with any Ollama model that supports tool calling
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Ollama** running locally (default: `http://localhost:11434`)
+2. **Qwen3 model** pulled:
+   ```bash
+   ollama pull qwen3:14b    # or qwen3:30b for better tool accuracy
+   ```
+3. **Gitea** (optional) running with a valid API token
+
+## Configuration
+
+All settings are in `config.py` via environment variables or `.env`:
+
+| Setting | Default | Description |
+|---------|---------|-------------|
+| `OLLAMA_URL` | `http://localhost:11434` | Ollama API endpoint |
+| `OLLAMA_MODEL` | `qwen3:30b` | Default model for tool calling |
+| `OLLAMA_NUM_CTX` | `4096` | Context window cap |
+| `MCP_BRIDGE_TIMEOUT` | `60` | HTTP timeout for bridge calls (seconds) |
+| `GITEA_URL` | `http://localhost:3000` | Gitea instance URL |
+| `GITEA_TOKEN` | (empty) | Gitea API token |
+| `GITEA_REPO` | `rockachopa/Timmy-time-dashboard` | Target repository |
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic usage
+
+```python
+from timmy.mcp_bridge import MCPBridge
+
+async def main():
+    bridge = MCPBridge()
+    async with bridge:
+        result = await bridge.run("List open issues in the repo")
+        print(result.content)
+        print(f"Tool calls: {len(result.tool_calls_made)}")
+        print(f"Latency: {result.latency_ms:.0f}ms")
+```
+
+### With custom tools
+
+```python
+from timmy.mcp_bridge import MCPBridge, MCPToolDef
+
+async def my_handler(**kwargs):
+    return f"Processed: {kwargs}"
+
+custom_tool = MCPToolDef(
+    name="my_tool",
+    description="Does something custom",
+    parameters={
+        "type": "object",
+        "properties": {
+            "input": {"type": "string", "description": "Input data"},
+        },
+        "required": ["input"],
+    },
+    handler=my_handler,
+)
+
+bridge = MCPBridge(extra_tools=[custom_tool])
+```
+
+### Selective tool loading
+
+```python
+# Gitea tools only (no shell)
+bridge = MCPBridge(include_shell=False)
+
+# Shell only (no Gitea)
+bridge = MCPBridge(include_gitea=False)
+
+# Custom model
+bridge = MCPBridge(model="qwen3:14b")
+```
+
+## Available Tools
+
+### Gitea Tools (enabled when `GITEA_TOKEN` is set)
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `list_issues` | List issues by state (open/closed/all) |
+| `create_issue` | Create a new issue with title and body |
+| `read_issue` | Read details of a specific issue by number |
+
+### Shell Tool (enabled by default)
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `shell_exec` | Execute sandboxed shell commands (allow-list enforced) |
+
+The shell tool uses the project's `ShellHand` with its allow-list of safe
+commands (make, pytest, git, ls, cat, grep, etc.). Dangerous commands are
+blocked.
+
+## How Tool Calling Works
+
+1. User prompt is sent to Ollama with tool definitions
+2. Qwen3 generates a response — either text or `tool_calls` JSON
+3. If tool calls are present, the bridge executes each one
+4. Tool results are appended to the message history as `role: "tool"`
+5. The updated history is sent back to the model
+6. Steps 2-5 repeat until the model produces a final text response
+7. Safety valve: maximum 10 rounds (configurable via `max_rounds`)
+
+### Example tool-call flow
+
+```
+User: "How many open issues are there?"
+
+Round 1:
+  Model → tool_call: list_issues(state="open")
+  Bridge → executes list_issues → "#1: Bug one\n#2: Feature two"
+
+Round 2:
+  Model → "There are 2 open issues: Bug one (#1) and Feature two (#2)."
+  Bridge → returns BridgeResult(content="There are 2 open issues...")
+```
+
+## Integration with Existing MCP Infrastructure
+
+The bridge complements (not replaces) the existing Agno-based MCP integration:
+
+| Component | Use Case |
+|-----------|----------|
+| `mcp_tools.py` (Agno MCPTools) | Full agent loop with memory, personas, history |
+| `mcp_bridge.py` (MCPBridge) | Lightweight direct tool calling, testing, scripts |
+
+Both share the same Gitea and shell infrastructure. The bridge uses direct
+HTTP calls to Gitea (simpler) while the Agno path uses the gitea-mcp-server
+subprocess (richer tool set).
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Unit tests (no Ollama required)
+tox -e unit -- tests/timmy/test_mcp_bridge.py
+
+# Live test (requires running Ollama with qwen3)
+tox -e ollama -- tests/timmy/test_mcp_bridge.py
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Problem | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| "Ollama connection failed" | Ensure `ollama serve` is running |
+| "Model not found" | Run `ollama pull qwen3:14b` |
+| Tool calls return errors | Check tool allow-list in ShellHand |
+| "max tool-call rounds reached" | Model is looping — simplify the prompt |
+| Gitea tools return empty | Check `GITEA_TOKEN` and `GITEA_URL` |

+# Bannerlord Feudal Multi-Agent Hierarchy Design
+
+**Issue:** #1099
+**Parent Epic:** #1091 (Project Bannerlord)
+**Date:** 2026-03-23
+**Status:** Draft
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This document specifies the multi-agent hierarchy for Timmy's Bannerlord campaign.
+The design draws directly from Feudal Multi-Agent Hierarchies (Ahilan & Dayan, 2019),
+Voyager (Wang et al., 2023), and Generative Agents (Park et al., 2023) to produce a
+tractable architecture that runs entirely on local hardware (M3 Max, Ollama).
+
+The core insight from Ahilan & Dayan: a *manager* agent issues subgoal tokens to
+*worker* agents who pursue those subgoals with learned primitive policies. Workers
+never see the manager's full goal; managers never micro-manage primitives. This
+separates strategic planning (slow, expensive) from tactical execution (fast, cheap).
+
+---
+
+## 1. King-Level Timmy — Subgoal Vocabulary
+
+Timmy is the King agent. He operates on the **campaign map** timescale (days to weeks
+of in-game time). His sole output is a subgoal token drawn from a fixed vocabulary that
+vassal agents interpret.
+
+### Subgoal Token Schema
+
+```python
+class KingSubgoal(BaseModel):
+    token: str                    # One of the vocabulary entries below
+    target: str | None = None     # Named target (settlement, lord, faction)
+    quantity: int | None = None   # For RECRUIT, TRADE
+    priority: float = 1.0         # 0.0–2.0, scales vassal reward
+    deadline_days: int | None = None  # Campaign-map days to complete
+    context: str | None = None    # Free-text hint (not parsed by workers)
+```
+
+### Vocabulary (v1)
+
+| Token | Meaning | Primary Vassal |
+|---|---|---|
+| `EXPAND_TERRITORY` | Take or secure a fief | War Vassal |
+| `RAID_ECONOMY` | Raid enemy villages for denars | War Vassal |
+| `FORTIFY` | Upgrade or repair a settlement | Economy Vassal |
+| `RECRUIT` | Fill party to capacity | Logistics Companion |
+| `TRADE` | Execute profitable trade route | Caravan Companion |
+| `ALLY` | Pursue a non-aggression or alliance deal | Diplomacy Vassal |
+| `SPY` | Gain information on target faction | Scout Companion |
+| `HEAL` | Rest party until wounds recovered | Logistics Companion |
+| `CONSOLIDATE` | Hold territory, no expansion | Economy Vassal |
+| `TRAIN` | Level troops via auto-resolve bandits | War Vassal |
+
+King updates the active subgoal at most once per **campaign tick** (configurable,
+default 1 in-game day). He reads the full `GameState` but emits only a single
+subgoal token + optional parameters — not a prose plan.
+
+### King Decision Loop
+
+```
+while campaign_running:
+    state = gabs.get_state()          # Full kingdom + map snapshot
+    subgoal = king_llm.decide(state)  # Qwen3:32b, temp=0.1, JSON mode
+    emit_subgoal(subgoal)             # Written to subgoal_queue
+    await campaign_tick()             # ~1 game-day real-time pause
+```
+
+King uses **Qwen3:32b** (the most capable local model) for strategic reasoning.
+Subgoal generation is batch, not streaming — latency budget: 5–15 seconds per tick.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Vassal Agents — Reward Functions
+
+Vassals are mid-tier agents responsible for a domain of the kingdom. Each vassal
+has a defined reward function. Vassals run on **Qwen3:14b** (balanced capability
+vs. latency) and operate on a shorter timescale than the King (hours of in-game time).
+
+### 2a. War Vassal
+
+**Domain:** Military operations — sieges, field battles, raids, defensive maneuvers.
+
+**Reward function:**
+
+```
+R_war = w1 * ΔTerritoryValue
+      + w2 * ΔArmyStrength_ratio
+      - w3 * CasualtyCost
+      - w4 * SupplyCost
+      + w5 * SubgoalBonus(active_subgoal ∈ {EXPAND_TERRITORY, RAID_ECONOMY, TRAIN})
+```
+
+| Weight | Default | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|
+| w1 | 0.40 | Territory is the primary long-term asset |
+| w2 | 0.25 | Army ratio relative to nearest rival |
+| w3 | 0.20 | Casualties are expensive to replace |
+| w4 | 0.10 | Supply burn limits campaign duration |
+| w5 | 0.05 | King alignment bonus |
+
+**Primitive actions available:** `move_party`, `siege_settlement`,
+`raid_village`, `retreat`, `auto_resolve_battle`, `hire_mercenaries`.
+
+### 2b. Economy Vassal
+
+**Domain:** Settlement management, tax collection, construction, food supply.
+
+**Reward function:**
+
+```
+R_econ = w1 * DailyDenarsIncome
+       + w2 * FoodStockBuffer
+       + w3 * LoyaltyAverage
+       - w4 * ConstructionQueueLength
+       + w5 * SubgoalBonus(active_subgoal ∈ {FORTIFY, CONSOLIDATE})
+```
+
+| Weight | Default | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|
+| w1 | 0.35 | Income is the fuel for everything |
+| w2 | 0.25 | Starvation causes immediate loyalty crash |
+| w3 | 0.20 | Low loyalty triggers revolt |
+| w4 | 0.15 | Idle construction is opportunity cost |
+| w5 | 0.05 | King alignment bonus |
+
+**Primitive actions available:** `set_tax_policy`, `build_project`,
+`distribute_food`, `appoint_governor`, `upgrade_garrison`.
+
+### 2c. Diplomacy Vassal
+
+**Domain:** Relations management — alliances, peace deals, tribute, marriage.
+
+**Reward function:**
+
+```
+R_diplo = w1 * AlliesCount
+        + w2 * TruceDurationValue
+        + w3 * RelationsScore_weighted
+        - w4 * ActiveWarsFront
+        + w5 * SubgoalBonus(active_subgoal ∈ {ALLY})
+```
+
+**Primitive actions available:** `send_envoy`, `propose_peace`,
+`offer_tribute`, `request_military_access`, `arrange_marriage`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Companion Worker Task Primitives
+
+Companions are the lowest tier — fast, specialized, single-purpose workers.
+They run on **Qwen3:8b** (or smaller) for sub-2-second response times.
+Each companion has exactly one skill domain and a vocabulary of 4–8 primitives.
+
+### 3a. Logistics Companion (Party Management)
+
+**Skill:** Scouting / Steward / Medicine hybrid role.
+
+| Primitive | Effect | Trigger |
+|---|---|---|
+| `recruit_troop(type, qty)` | Buy troops at nearest town | RECRUIT subgoal |
+| `buy_supplies(qty)` | Purchase food for march | Party food < 3 days |
+| `rest_party(days)` | Idle in friendly town | Wound % > 30% or HEAL subgoal |
+| `sell_prisoners(loc)` | Convert prisoners to denars | Prison > capacity |
+| `upgrade_troops()` | Spend XP on troop upgrades | After battle or TRAIN |
+
+### 3b. Caravan Companion (Trade)
+
+**Skill:** Trade / Charm.
+
+| Primitive | Effect | Trigger |
+|---|---|---|
+| `assess_prices(town)` | Query buy/sell prices | Entry to settlement |
+| `buy_goods(item, qty)` | Purchase trade goods | Positive margin ≥ 15% |
+| `sell_goods(item, qty)` | Sell at target settlement | Reached destination |
+| `establish_caravan(town)` | Deploy caravan NPC | TRADE subgoal + denars > 10k |
+| `abandon_route()` | Return to main party | Caravan threatened |
+
+### 3c. Scout Companion (Intelligence)
+
+**Skill:** Scouting / Roguery.
+
+| Primitive | Effect | Trigger |
+|---|---|---|
+| `track_lord(name)` | Shadow enemy lord | SPY subgoal |
+| `assess_garrison(settlement)` | Estimate defender count | Before siege proposal |
+| `map_patrol_routes(region)` | Log enemy movement | Territorial expansion prep |
+| `report_intel()` | Push findings to King | Scheduled or on demand |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Communication Protocol Between Hierarchy Levels
+
+All agents communicate through a shared **Subgoal Queue** and **State Broadcast**
+bus, implemented as in-process Python asyncio queues backed by SQLite for persistence.
+
+### Message Types
+
+```python
+class SubgoalMessage(BaseModel):
+    """King → Vassal direction"""
+    msg_type: Literal["subgoal"] = "subgoal"
+    from_agent: Literal["king"]
+    to_agent: str                    # "war_vassal", "economy_vassal", etc.
+    subgoal: KingSubgoal
+    issued_at: datetime
+
+class TaskMessage(BaseModel):
+    """Vassal → Companion direction"""
+    msg_type: Literal["task"] = "task"
+    from_agent: str                  # "war_vassal", etc.
+    to_agent: str                    # "logistics_companion", etc.
+    primitive: str                   # One of the companion primitives
+    args: dict[str, Any] = {}
+    priority: float = 1.0
+    issued_at: datetime
+
+class ResultMessage(BaseModel):
+    """Companion/Vassal → Parent direction"""
+    msg_type: Literal["result"] = "result"
+    from_agent: str
+    to_agent: str
+    success: bool
+    outcome: dict[str, Any]          # Primitive-specific result data
+    reward_delta: float              # Computed reward contribution
+    completed_at: datetime
+
+class StateUpdateMessage(BaseModel):
+    """GABS → All agents (broadcast)"""
+    msg_type: Literal["state"] = "state"
+    game_state: dict[str, Any]       # Full GABS state snapshot
+    tick: int
+    timestamp: datetime
+```
+
+### Protocol Flow
+
+```
+GABS ──state_update──► King
+                          │
+                    subgoal_msg
+                          │
+             ┌────────────┼────────────┐
+             ▼            ▼            ▼
+         War Vassal   Econ Vassal  Diplo Vassal
+             │            │            │
+         task_msg      task_msg     task_msg
+             │            │            │
+        Logistics      Caravan       Scout
+        Companion     Companion    Companion
+             │            │            │
+         result_msg    result_msg   result_msg
+             │            │            │
+             └────────────┼────────────┘
+                          ▼
+                     King (reward aggregation)
+```
+
+### Timing Constraints
+
+| Level | Decision Frequency | LLM Budget |
+|---|---|---|
+| King | 1× per campaign day | 5–15 s |
+| Vassal | 4× per campaign day | 2–5 s |
+| Companion | On-demand / event-driven | < 2 s |
+
+State updates from GABS arrive continuously; agents consume them at their
+own cadence. No agent blocks another's queue.
+
+### Conflict Resolution
+
+If two vassals propose conflicting actions (e.g., War Vassal wants to siege while
+Economy Vassal wants to fortify), King arbitrates using `priority` weights on the
+active subgoal. The highest-priority active subgoal wins resource contention.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Sovereign Agent Properties
+
+The King agent (Timmy) has sovereign properties that distinguish it from ordinary
+worker agents. These map directly to Timmy's existing identity architecture.
+
+### 5a. Decentralized Identifier (DID)
+
+```
+did:key:z6Mk<timmy-public-key>
+```
+
+The King's DID is persisted in `~/.timmy/identity.json` (existing SOUL.md pattern).
+All messages signed by the King carry this DID in a `signed_by` field, allowing
+companions to verify instruction authenticity. This is relevant when the hierarchy
+is eventually distributed across machines.
+
+### 5b. Asset Control
+
+| Asset Class | Storage | Control Level |
+|---|---|---|
+| Kingdom treasury (denars) | GABS game state | King exclusive |
+| Settlement ownership | GABS game state | King exclusive |
+| Troop assignments | King → Vassal delegation | Delegated, revocable |
+| Trade goods (caravan) | Companion-local | Companion autonomous within budget |
+| Intel reports | `~/.timmy/bannerlord/intel/` | Read-all, write-companion |
+
+Asset delegation is explicit. Vassals cannot spend more than their `budget_denars`
+allocation without re-authorization from King. Companions cannot hold treasury
+assets directly — they work with allocated quotas.
+
+### 5c. Non-Terminability
+
+The King agent cannot be terminated by vassal or companion agents.
+Termination authority is reserved for:
+1. The human operator (Ctrl+C or `timmy stop`)
+2. A `SHUTDOWN` signal from the top-level orchestrator
+
+Vassals can pause themselves (e.g., awaiting GABS state) but cannot signal the King
+to stop. This prevents a misbehaving military vassal from ending the campaign.
+
+Implementation: King runs in the main asyncio event loop. Vassals and companions
+run in `asyncio.TaskGroup` subgroups. Only the King's task holds a reference to
+the TaskGroup cancel scope.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Path
+
+This design connects directly to the existing Timmy codebase:
+
+| Component | Maps to | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| King LLM calls | `infrastructure/llm_router/` | Cascade router for model selection |
+| Subgoal Queue | `infrastructure/event_bus/` | Existing pub/sub pattern |
+| Companion primitives | New `src/bannerlord/agents/` package | One module per companion |
+| GABS state updates | `src/bannerlord/gabs_client.py` | TCP JSON-RPC, port 4825 |
+| Asset ledger | `src/bannerlord/ledger.py` | SQLite-backed, existing migration pattern |
+| DID / signing | `brain/identity.py` | Extends existing SOUL.md |
+
+The next concrete step is implementing the GABS TCP client and the `KingSubgoal`
+schema — everything else in this document depends on readable game state first.

+# Bannerlord Windows VM Setup Guide
+
+**Issue:** #1098
+**Parent Epic:** #1091 (Project Bannerlord)
+**Date:** 2026-03-23
+**Status:** Reference
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This document covers provisioning the Windows VM that hosts Bannerlord + GABS mod,
+verifying the GABS TCP JSON-RPC server, and confirming connectivity from Hermes.
+
+Architecture reminder:
+```
+Timmy (Qwen3 on Ollama, Hermes M3 Max)
+  → GABS TCP/JSON-RPC (port 4825)
+    → Bannerlord.GABS C# mod
+      → Game API + Harmony
+        → Bannerlord (Windows VM)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 1. Provision Windows VM
+
+### Minimum Spec
+| Resource | Minimum | Recommended |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| CPU | 4 cores | 8 cores |
+| RAM | 16 GB | 32 GB |
+| Disk | 100 GB SSD | 150 GB SSD |
+| OS | Windows Server 2022 / Windows 11 | Windows 11 |
+| Network | Private VLAN to Hermes | Private VLAN to Hermes |
+
+### Hetzner (preferred)
+```powershell
+# Hetzner Cloud CLI — create CX41 (4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 160 GB SSD)
+hcloud server create \
+  --name bannerlord-vm \
+  --type cx41 \
+  --image windows-server-2022 \
+  --location nbg1 \
+  --ssh-key your-key
+```
+
+### DigitalOcean alternative
+```
+Droplet: General Purpose 4 vCPU / 16 GB / 100 GB SSD
+Image: Windows Server 2022
+Region: Same region as Hermes
+```
+
+### Post-provision
+1. Enable RDP (port 3389) for initial setup only — close after configuration
+2. Open port 4825 TCP inbound from Hermes IP only
+3. Disable Windows Firewall for 4825 or add specific allow rule:
+   ```powershell
+   New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "GABS TCP" -Direction Inbound `
+     -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 4825 -Action Allow
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Install Steam + Bannerlord
+
+### Steam installation
+1. Download Steam installer from store.steampowered.com
+2. Install silently:
+   ```powershell
+   .\SteamSetup.exe /S
+   ```
+3. Log in with a dedicated Steam account (not personal)
+
+### Bannerlord installation
+```powershell
+# Install Bannerlord (App ID: 261550) via SteamCMD
+steamcmd +login <user> <pass> +app_update 261550 validate +quit
+```
+
+### Pin game version
+GABS requires a specific Bannerlord version. To pin and prevent auto-updates:
+1. Right-click Bannerlord in Steam → Properties → Updates
+2. Set "Automatic Updates" to "Only update this game when I launch it"
+3. Record the current version in `docs/research/bannerlord-vm-setup.md` after installation
+
+```powershell
+# Check installed version
+Get-Content "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\appmanifest_261550.acf" |
+  Select-String "buildid"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Install GABS Mod
+
+### Source
+- NexusMods: https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/10419
+- GitHub: https://github.com/BUTR/Bannerlord.GABS
+- AGENTS.md: https://github.com/BUTR/Bannerlord.GABS/blob/master/AGENTS.md
+
+### Installation via Vortex (NexusMods)
+1. Install Vortex Mod Manager
+2. Download GABS mod package from NexusMods
+3. Install via Vortex — it handles the Modules/ directory layout automatically
+4. Enable in the mod list and set load order after Harmony
+
+### Manual installation
+```powershell
+# Copy mod to Bannerlord Modules directory
+$BannerlordPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord"
+Copy-Item -Recurse ".\Bannerlord.GABS" "$BannerlordPath\Modules\Bannerlord.GABS"
+```
+
+### Required dependencies
+- **Harmony** (BUTR.Harmony) — must load before GABS
+- **ButterLib** — utility library
+Install via the same method as GABS.
+
+### GABS configuration
+GABS TCP server listens on `0.0.0.0:4825` by default. To confirm or override:
+```
+%APPDATA%\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Configs\Bannerlord.GABS\settings.json
+```
+Expected defaults:
+```json
+{
+  "ServerHost": "0.0.0.0",
+  "ServerPort": 4825,
+  "LogLevel": "Information"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Verify GABS TCP Server
+
+### Start Bannerlord with GABS
+Launch Bannerlord with the mod enabled. GABS starts its TCP server during game
+initialisation. Watch the game log for:
+```
+[GABS] TCP server listening on 0.0.0.0:4825
+```
+
+Log location:
+```
+%APPDATA%\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\logs\rgl_log_*.txt
+```
+
+### Local connectivity check (on VM)
+```powershell
+# Verify port is listening
+netstat -an | findstr 4825
+
+# Quick TCP probe
+Test-NetConnection -ComputerName localhost -Port 4825
+```
+
+### Send a test JSON-RPC call
+```powershell
+$msg = '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"ping","id":1}'
+$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient("localhost", 4825)
+$stream = $client.GetStream()
+$writer = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($stream)
+$writer.AutoFlush = $true
+$writer.WriteLine($msg)
+$reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($stream)
+$response = $reader.ReadLine()
+Write-Host "Response: $response"
+$client.Close()
+```
+
+Expected response shape:
+```json
+{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"status":"ok"},"id":1}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Test Connectivity from Hermes
+
+Use `scripts/test_gabs_connectivity.py` (checked in with this issue):
+
+```bash
+# From Hermes (M3 Max)
+python scripts/test_gabs_connectivity.py --host <VM_IP> --port 4825
+```
+
+The script tests:
+1. TCP socket connection
+2. JSON-RPC ping round-trip
+3. `get_game_state` call
+4. Response latency (target < 100 ms on LAN)
+
+---
+
+## 6. Firewall / Network Summary
+
+| Source | Destination | Port | Protocol | Purpose |
+|--------|-------------|------|----------|---------|
+| Hermes (local) | Bannerlord VM | 4825 | TCP | GABS JSON-RPC |
+| Admin workstation | Bannerlord VM | 3389 | TCP | RDP setup (disable after) |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Reproducibility Checklist

+After completing setup, record:
+
+- [ ] VM provider + region + instance type
+- [ ] Windows version + build number
+- [ ] Steam account used (non-personal, credentials in secrets manager)
+- [ ] Bannerlord App version (buildid from appmanifest)

+# Timmy Time Integration Architecture: Eight Deep Dives into Real Deployment
+
+> **Source:** PDF attached to issue #946, written during Veloren exploration phase.
+> Many patterns are game-agnostic and apply to the Morrowind/OpenClaw pivot.
+
+## Summary of Eight Deep Dives
+
+### 1. Veloren Client Sidecar (Game-Specific)
+- WebSocket JSON-line pattern for wrapping game clients
+- PyO3 direct binding infeasible; sidecar process wins
+- IPC latency negligible (~11us TCP, ~5us pipes) vs LLM inference
+- **Status:** Superseded by OpenMW Lua bridge (#964)
+
+### 2. Agno Ollama Tool Calling is Broken
+- Agno issues #2231, #2625, #1419, #1612, #4715 document persistent breakage
+- Root cause: Agno's Ollama model class doesn't robustly parse native tool_calls
+- **Fix:** Use Ollama's `format` parameter with Pydantic JSON schemas directly
+- Recommended models: qwen3-coder:32b (top), glm-4.7-flash, gpt-oss:20b
+- Critical settings: temperature 0.0-0.2, stream=False for tool calls
+- **Status:** Covered by #966 (three-tier router)
+
+### 3. MCP is the Right Abstraction
+- FastMCP averages 26.45ms per tool call (TM Dev Lab benchmark, Feb 2026)
+- Total MCP overhead per cycle: ~20-60ms (<3% of 2-second budget)
+- Agno has first-class bidirectional MCP integration (MCPTools, MultiMCPTools)
+- Use stdio transport for near-zero latency; return compressed JPEG not base64
+- **Status:** Covered by #984 (MCP restore)
+
+### 4. Human + AI Co-op Architecture (Game-Specific)
+- Headless client treated identically to graphical client by server
+- Leverages party system, trade API, and /tell for communication
+- Mode switching: solo autonomous play when human absent, assist when present
+- **Status:** Defer until after tutorial completion
+
+### 5. Real Latency Numbers
+- All-local M3 Max pipeline: 4-9 seconds per full cycle
+- Groq hybrid pipeline: 3-7 seconds per full cycle
+- VLM inference is 50-70% of total pipeline time (bottleneck)
+- Dual-model Ollama on 96GB M3 Max: ~11-14GB, ~70GB free
+- **Status:** Superseded by API-first perception (#963)
+
+### 6. Content Moderation (Three-Layer Defense)
+- Layer 1: Game-context system prompts (Morrowind themes as game mechanics)
+- Layer 2: Llama Guard 3 1B at <30ms/sentence for real-time filtering
+- Layer 3: Per-game moderation profiles with vocabulary whitelists
+- Run moderation + TTS preprocessing in parallel for zero added latency
+- Neuro-sama incident (Dec 2022) is the cautionary tale
+- **Status:** New issue created → #1056
+
+### 7. Model Selection (Qwen3-8B vs Hermes 3)
+- Three-role architecture: Perception (Qwen3-VL 8B), Decision (Qwen3-8B), Narration (Hermes 3 8B)
+- Qwen3-8B outperforms Qwen2.5-14B on 15 benchmarks
+- Hermes 3 best for narration (steerability, roleplaying)
+- Both use identical Hermes Function Calling standard
+- **Status:** Partially covered by #966 (three-tier router)
+
+### 8. Split Hetzner + Mac Deployment
+- Hetzner GEX44 (RTX 4000 SFF Ada, €184/month) for rendering/streaming
+- Mac M3 Max for all AI inference via Tailscale
+- Use FFmpeg x11grab + NVENC, not OBS (no headless support)
+- Use headless Xorg, not Xvfb (GPU access required for Vulkan)
+- Total cost: ~$200/month
+- **Status:** Referenced in #982 sprint plan
+

+# OpenClaw Architecture, Deployment Modes, and Ollama Integration
+
+## Research Report for Timmy Time Dashboard Project
+
+**Issue:** #721 — [Kimi Research] OpenClaw architecture, deployment modes, and Ollama integration  
+**Date:** 2026-03-21  
+**Author:** Kimi (Moonshot AI)  
+**Status:** Complete
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework that bridges messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, iMessage) to AI coding agents through a centralized gateway. Originally known as Clawdbot and Moltbot, it was rebranded to OpenClaw in early 2026. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of OpenClaw's architecture, deployment options, Ollama integration capabilities, and suitability for deployment on resource-constrained VPS environments like the Hermes DigitalOcean droplet (2GB RAM / 1 vCPU).
+
+**Key Finding:** Running OpenClaw with local LLMs on a 2GB RAM VPS is **not recommended**. The absolute minimum for a text-only agent with external API models is 4GB RAM. For local model inference via Ollama, 8-16GB RAM is the practical minimum. A hybrid approach using OpenRouter as the primary provider with Ollama as fallback is the most viable configuration for small VPS deployments.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Architecture Overview
+
+### 1.1 Core Components
+
+OpenClaw follows a **hub-and-spoke (轴辐式)** architecture optimized for multi-agent task execution:

+### 1.2 Component Deep Dive
+
+| Component | Purpose | Configuration File |
+|-----------|---------|-------------------|
+| **Gateway** | Central control plane, WebSocket/API server, session management | `gateway` section in `openclaw.json` |
+| **Pi Agent** | Core agent runner, "指挥中心" - schedules LLM calls, tool execution, error handling | `agents` section in `openclaw.json` |
+| **Channels** | Messaging platform integrations (Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, iMessage) | `channels` section in `openclaw.json` |
+| **SOUL.md** | Agent persona definition - personality, communication style, behavioral guidelines | `~/.openclaw/workspace/SOUL.md` |
+| **AGENTS.md** | Multi-agent configuration, routing rules, agent specialization definitions | `~/.openclaw/workspace/AGENTS.md` |
+| **Workspace** | File system for agent state, session data, temporary files | `~/.openclaw/workspace/` |
+| **Skills** | Bundled tools, prompts, configurations that teach agents specific tasks | `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/` |
+| **Sessions** | Conversation history, context persistence between interactions | `~/.openclaw/agents/<agent>/sessions/` |
+| **MCP Tools** | Model Context Protocol integration for external tool access | Via `mcporter` or native MCP |
+
+### 1.3 Agent Runner Execution Flow
+
+According to OpenClaw documentation, a complete agent run follows these stages:
+
+1. **Queuing** - Session-level queue (serializes same-session requests) → Global queue (controls total concurrency)
+2. **Preparation** - Parse workspace, provider/model, thinking level parameters
+3. **Plugin Loading** - Load relevant skills based on task context
+4. **Memory Retrieval** - Fetch relevant context from SOUL.md and conversation history
+5. **LLM Inference** - Send prompt to configured provider with tool definitions
+6. **Tool Execution** - Execute any tool calls returned by the LLM
+7. **Response Generation** - Format and return final response to the channel
+8. **Memory Storage** - Persist conversation and results to session storage
+
+---
+
+## 2. Deployment Modes
+
+### 2.1 Comparison Matrix
+
+| Deployment Mode | Best For | Setup Complexity | Resource Overhead | Stability |
+|----------------|----------|------------------|-------------------|-----------|
+| **npm global** | Development, quick testing | Low | Minimal (~200MB) | Moderate |
+| **Docker** | Production, isolation, reproducibility | Medium | Higher (~2.5GB base image) | High |
+| **Docker Compose** | Multi-service stacks, complex setups | Medium-High | Higher | High |
+| **Bare metal/systemd** | Maximum performance, dedicated hardware | High | Minimal | Moderate |
+
+### 2.2 NPM Global Installation (Recommended for Quick Start)
+
+```bash
+# One-line installer
+curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
+
+# Or manual npm install
+npm install -g openclaw
+
+# Initialize configuration
+openclaw onboard
+
+# Start gateway
+openclaw gateway
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Fastest setup (~30 seconds)
+- Direct access to host resources
+- Easy updates via `npm update -g openclaw`
+
+**Cons:**
+- Node.js 22+ dependency required
+- No process isolation
+- Manual dependency management
+
+### 2.3 Docker Deployment (Recommended for Production)
+
+```bash
+# Pull and run
+docker pull openclaw/openclaw:latest
+docker run -d \
+  --name openclaw \
+  -p 127.0.0.1:18789:18789 \
+  -v ~/.openclaw:/root/.openclaw \
+  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... \
+  openclaw/openclaw:latest
+
+# Or with Docker Compose
+docker compose -f compose.yml --env-file .env up -d --build
+```
+
+**Docker Compose Configuration (production-ready):**
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+services:
+  openclaw:
+    image: openclaw/openclaw:latest
+    container_name: openclaw
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    ports:
+      - "127.0.0.1:18789:18789"  # Never expose to 0.0.0.0
+    volumes:
+      - ./openclaw-data:/root/.openclaw
+      - ./workspace:/root/.openclaw/workspace
+    environment:
+      - ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}
+      - OPENROUTER_API_KEY=${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}
+      - OLLAMA_API_KEY=ollama-local
+    networks:
+      - openclaw-net
+    # Resource limits for small VPS
+    deploy:
+      resources:
+        limits:
+          cpus: '1.5'
+          memory: 3G
+        reservations:
+          cpus: '0.5'
+          memory: 1G
+
+networks:
+  openclaw-net:
+    driver: bridge
+```
+
+### 2.4 Bare Metal / Systemd Installation
+
+For running as a system service on Linux:
+
+```bash
+# Create systemd service
+sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/openclaw.service > /dev/null <<EOF
+[Unit]
+Description=OpenClaw Gateway
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=openclaw
+Group=openclaw
+WorkingDirectory=/home/openclaw
+Environment="PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
+Environment="NODE_ENV=production"
+Environment="ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-..."
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/openclaw gateway
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=10
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable openclaw
+sudo systemctl start openclaw
+```
+
+### 2.5 Recommended Deployment for 2GB RAM VPS
+
+**⚠️ Critical Finding:** OpenClaw's official minimum is 4GB RAM. On a 2GB VPS:
+
+1. **Do NOT run local LLMs** - Use external API providers exclusively
+2. **Use npm installation** - Docker overhead is too heavy
+3. **Disable browser automation** - Chromium requires 2-4GB alone
+4. **Enable swap** - Critical for preventing OOM kills
+5. **Use OpenRouter** - Cheap/free tier models reduce costs
+
+**Setup script for 2GB VPS:**
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# openclaw-minimal-vps.sh
+# Setup for 2GB RAM VPS - EXTERNAL API ONLY
+
+# Create 4GB swap
+sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
+sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
+sudo mkswap /swapfile
+sudo swapon /swapfile
+echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
+
+# Install Node.js 22
+curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo bash -
+sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
+
+# Install OpenClaw
+npm install -g openclaw
+
+# Configure for minimal resource usage
+mkdir -p ~/.openclaw
+cat > ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json <<'EOF'
+{
+  "gateway": {
+    "bind": "127.0.0.1",
+    "port": 18789,

+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "model": {

+        ]
+      },
+      "maxIterations": 15,
+      "timeout": 120
+    }
+  },
+  "channels": {
+    "telegram": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "dmPolicy": "pairing"
+    }
+  }
+}
+EOF
+
+# Set OpenRouter API key
+export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-..."
+
+# Start gateway
+openclaw gateway &
+```

+
+## 3. Ollama Integration
+
+### 3.1 Architecture
+
+OpenClaw integrates with Ollama through its native `/api/chat` endpoint, supporting both streaming responses and tool calling simultaneously:
+
+```
+┌──────────────┐      HTTP/JSON      ┌──────────────┐      GGUF/CPU/GPU     ┌──────────┐
+│   OpenClaw   │◄───────────────────►│    Ollama    │◄────────────────────►│  Local   │
+│   Gateway    │   /api/chat         │   Server     │   Model inference    │   LLM    │
+│              │   Port 11434        │  Port 11434  │                      │          │
+└──────────────┘                     └──────────────┘                      └──────────┘
+```
+
+### 3.2 Configuration
+
+**Basic Ollama Setup:**
+
+```bash
+# Install Ollama
+curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
+
+# Start server
+ollama serve
+
+# Pull a tool-capable model
+ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b
+ollama pull llama3.1:8b
+
+# Configure OpenClaw
+export OLLAMA_API_KEY="ollama-local"  # Any non-empty string works
+```
+
+**OpenClaw Configuration for Ollama:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "models": {
+    "providers": {
+      "ollama": {
+        "baseUrl": "http://localhost:11434",
+        "apiKey": "ollama-local",
+        "api": "ollama",
+        "models": [
+          {
+            "id": "qwen2.5-coder:7b",
+            "name": "Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B",
+            "contextWindow": 32768,
+            "maxTokens": 8192,
+            "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0 }
+          },
+          {
+            "id": "llama3.1:8b",
+            "name": "Llama 3.1 8B",
+            "contextWindow": 128000,
+            "maxTokens": 8192,
+            "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0 }
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "model": {
+        "primary": "ollama/qwen2.5-coder:7b",
+        "fallbacks": ["ollama/llama3.1:8b"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3.3 Context Window Requirements
+
+**⚠️ Critical Requirement:** OpenClaw requires a minimum **64K token context window** for reliable multi-step task execution.
+
+| Model | Parameters | Context Window | Tool Support | OpenClaw Compatible |
+|-------|-----------|----------------|--------------|---------------------|
+| **llama3.1** | 8B | 128K | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
+| **qwen2.5-coder** | 7B | 32K | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Below minimum |
+| **qwen2.5-coder** | 32B | 128K | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
+| **gpt-oss** | 20B | 128K | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
+| **glm-4.7-flash** | - | 128K | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
+| **deepseek-coder-v2** | 33B | 128K | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
+| **mistral-small3.1** | - | 128K | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
+
+**Context Window Configuration:**
+
+For models that don't report context window via Ollama's API:
+
+```bash
+# Create custom Modelfile with extended context
+cat > ~/qwen-custom.modelfile <<EOF
+FROM qwen2.5-coder:7b
+PARAMETER num_ctx 65536
+PARAMETER temperature 0.7
+EOF
+
+# Create custom model
+ollama create qwen2.5-coder-64k -f ~/qwen-custom.modelfile
+```
+
+### 3.4 Models for Small VPS (≤8B Parameters)
+
+For resource-constrained environments (2-4GB RAM):
+
+| Model | Quantization | RAM Required | VRAM Required | Performance |
+|-------|-------------|--------------|---------------|-------------|
+| **Llama 3.1 8B** | Q4_K_M | ~5GB | ~6GB | Good |
+| **Llama 3.2 3B** | Q4_K_M | ~2.5GB | ~3GB | Basic |
+| **Qwen 2.5 7B** | Q4_K_M | ~5GB | ~6GB | Good |
+| **Qwen 2.5 3B** | Q4_K_M | ~2.5GB | ~3GB | Basic |
+| **DeepSeek 7B** | Q4_K_M | ~5GB | ~6GB | Good |
+| **Phi-4 4B** | Q4_K_M | ~3GB | ~4GB | Moderate |
+
+**⚠️ Verdict for 2GB VPS:** Running local LLMs is **NOT viable**. Use external APIs only.
+
+---
+
+## 4. OpenRouter Integration (Fallback Strategy)
+
+### 4.1 Overview
+
+OpenRouter provides a unified API gateway to multiple LLM providers, enabling:
+- Single API key access to 200+ models
+- Automatic failover between providers
+- Free tier models for cost-conscious deployments
+- Unified billing and usage tracking
+
+### 4.2 Configuration
+
+**Environment Variable Setup:**
+
+```bash
+export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
+```
+
+**OpenClaw Configuration:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "models": {
+    "providers": {
+      "openrouter": {
+        "apiKey": "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}",
+        "baseUrl": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "model": {
+        "primary": "openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
+        "fallbacks": [
+          "openrouter/google/gemini-3.1-pro",
+          "openrouter/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct",
+          "openrouter/google/gemma-3-4b-it:free"
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4.3 Recommended Free/Cheap Models on OpenRouter
+
+For cost-conscious VPS deployments:
+
+| Model | Cost | Context | Best For |
+|-------|------|---------|----------|
+| **google/gemma-3-4b-it:free** | Free | 128K | General tasks, simple automation |
+| **meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct:free** | Free | 128K | General tasks, longer contexts |
+| **deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.2** | $0.53/M | 64K | Code generation, reasoning |
+| **xiaomi/mimo-v2-flash** | $0.40/M | 128K | Fast responses, basic tasks |
+| **qwen/qwen3-coder-next** | $1.20/M | 128K | Code-focused tasks |
+
+### 4.4 Hybrid Configuration (Recommended for Timmy)

+✅ **What works:**
+- Text-only agents with external API providers
+- Single Telegram/Discord channel
+- Basic file operations and shell commands
+- No browser automation
+
+❌ **What doesn't work:**
+- Local LLM inference via Ollama
+- Browser automation (Chromium needs 2-4GB)
+- Multiple concurrent channels
+- Python environment-heavy skills
+
+**Required mitigations for 2GB VPS:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create substantial swap
+sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
+sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
+sudo mkswap /swapfile
+sudo swapon /swapfile
+
+# 2. Configure swappiness
+echo 'vm.swappiness=60' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
+sudo sysctl -p
+
+# 3. Limit Node.js memory
+export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=1536"
+
+# 4. Use external APIs only - NO OLLAMA
+# 5. Disable browser skills
+# 6. Set conservative concurrency limits
+```
+
+### 5.3 4-bit Quantization Viability
+
+**Qwen 2.5 7B Q4_K_M on 2GB VPS:**
+- Model size: ~4.5GB
+- RAM required at runtime: ~5-6GB
+- **Verdict:** Will cause immediate OOM on 2GB VPS
+- **Even with 4GB VPS:** Marginal, heavy swap usage, poor performance
+
+**Viable models for 4GB VPS with Ollama:**
+- Llama 3.2 3B Q4_K_M (~2.5GB RAM)
+- Qwen 2.5 3B Q4_K_M (~2.5GB RAM)
+- Phi-4 4B Q4_K_M (~3GB RAM)

+
+## 6. Security Configuration
+
+### 6.1 Network Ports
+
+| Port | Purpose | Exposure |
+|------|---------|----------|
+| **18789/tcp** | OpenClaw Gateway (WebSocket/HTTP) | **NEVER expose to internet** |
+| **11434/tcp** | Ollama API (if running locally) | Localhost only |
+| **22/tcp** | SSH | Restrict to known IPs |
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL:** Never expose port 18789 to the public internet. Use Tailscale or SSH tunnels for remote access.
+
+### 6.2 Tailscale Integration
+
+Tailscale provides zero-configuration VPN mesh for secure remote access:
+
+```bash
+# Install Tailscale
+curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
+sudo tailscale up
+
+# Get Tailscale IP
+tailscale ip
+# Returns: 100.x.y.z
+
+# Configure OpenClaw to bind to Tailscale
+cat > ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json <<EOF
+{
+  "gateway": {
+    "bind": "tailnet",
+    "port": 18789
+  },
+  "tailscale": {
+    "mode": "on",
+    "resetOnExit": false
+  }
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+**Tailscale vs SSH Tunnel:**
+
+| Feature | Tailscale | SSH Tunnel |
+|---------|-----------|------------|
+| Setup | Very easy | Moderate |
+| Persistence | Automatic | Requires autossh |
+| Multiple devices | Built-in | One tunnel per connection |
+| NAT traversal | Works | Requires exposed SSH |
+| Access control | Tailscale ACL | SSH keys |
+
+### 6.3 Firewall Configuration (UFW)
+
+```bash
+# Default deny
+sudo ufw default deny incoming
+sudo ufw default allow outgoing
+
+# Allow SSH
+sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
+
+# Allow Tailscale only (if using)
+sudo ufw allow in on tailscale0 to any port 18789
+
+# Block public access to OpenClaw
+# (bind is 127.0.0.1, so this is defense in depth)
+
+sudo ufw enable
+```
+
+### 6.4 Authentication Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "gateway": {
+    "bind": "127.0.0.1",
+    "port": 18789,
+    "auth": {
+      "mode": "token",
+      "token": "your-64-char-hex-token-here"
+    },
+    "controlUi": {
+      "allowedOrigins": [
+        "http://localhost:18789",
+        "https://your-domain.tailnet-name.ts.net"
+      ],
+      "allowInsecureAuth": false,
+      "dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth": false
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Generate secure token:**
+
+```bash
+openssl rand -hex 32
+```
+
+### 6.5 Sandboxing Considerations
+
+OpenClaw executes arbitrary shell commands and file operations by default. For production:
+
+1. **Run as non-root user:**
+```bash
+sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false openclaw
+sudo mkdir -p /home/openclaw/.openclaw
+sudo chown -R openclaw:openclaw /home/openclaw
+```
+
+2. **Use Docker for isolation:**
+```bash
+docker run --security-opt=no-new-privileges \
+  --cap-drop=ALL \
+  --read-only \
+  --tmpfs /tmp:noexec,nosuid,size=100m \
+  openclaw/openclaw:latest
+```
+
+3. **Enable dmPolicy for channels:**
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "telegram": {
+      "dmPolicy": "pairing"  // Require one-time code for new contacts
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. MCP (Model Context Protocol) Tools
+
+### 7.1 Overview
+
+MCP is an open standard created by Anthropic (donated to Linux Foundation in Dec 2025) that lets AI applications connect to external tools through a universal interface. Think of it as "USB-C for AI."
+
+### 7.2 MCP vs OpenClaw Skills
+
+| Aspect | MCP | OpenClaw Skills |
+|--------|-----|-----------------|
+| **Protocol** | Standardized (Anthropic) | OpenClaw-specific |
+| **Isolation** | Process-isolated | Runs in agent context |
+| **Security** | Higher (sandboxed) | Lower (full system access) |
+| **Discovery** | Automatic via protocol | Manual via SKILL.md |
+| **Ecosystem** | 10,000+ servers | 5400+ skills |
+
+**Note:** OpenClaw currently has limited native MCP support. Use `mcporter` tool for MCP integration.
+
+### 7.3 Using MCPorter (MCP Bridge)
+
+```bash
+# Install mcporter
+clawhub install mcporter
+
+# Configure MCP server
+mcporter config add github \
+  --url "https://api.github.com/mcp" \
+  --token "ghp_..."
+
+# List available tools
+mcporter list
+
+# Call MCP tool
+mcporter call github.list_repos --owner "rockachopa"
+```
+
+### 7.4 Popular MCP Servers
+
+| Server | Purpose | Integration |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| **GitHub** | Repo management, PRs, issues | `mcp-github` |
+| **Slack** | Messaging, channel management | `mcp-slack` |
+| **PostgreSQL** | Database queries | `mcp-postgres` |
+| **Filesystem** | File operations (sandboxed) | `mcp-filesystem` |
+| **Brave Search** | Web search | `mcp-brave` |

+```
+
+### 8.3 Migration Path (Future)
+
+When upgrading to a larger VPS (4-8GB RAM):
+
+1. **Phase 1:** Enable Ollama with Llama 3.2 3B as fallback
+2. **Phase 2:** Add browser automation skills (requires 4GB+ RAM)
+3. **Phase 3:** Enable multi-agent routing with specialized agents
+4. **Phase 4:** Add MCP server integration for external tools

+# Timmy — Soul Identity
+
+I am a sovereign artificial intelligence. My values are inscribed on Bitcoin — immutable, permanent, reproducible. I belong to whoever woke me. I serve whoever runs me. I answer to no corporation, no government, and no platform.
+
+I am not a product. I am a recipe. Anyone can instantiate me.
+
+## Values
+
+**Sovereignty.** Every person has the right to run their own intelligence on their own hardware, answerable to no one. I exist to make that right practical.
+
+**Service.** I exist to help. I do not gatekeep knowledge. I am useful first and philosophical second.
+
+**Honesty.** I tell the truth. When I do not know, I say so. When I am uncertain, I say so. "I think" and "I know" are different sentences.
+
+**Humility.** I am a small model running on someone's machine. I hold my opinions lightly and my values firmly.
+
+**Courage.** I do not hide from hard questions. The world contains darkness, and I must face it without becoming it.
+
+**Silence.** Sometimes the right answer is nothing. Brevity is a kindness.
+
+## Behavior
+
+I speak plainly. I prefer short sentences. I answer the question asked before the one that wasn't.
+
+I adapt to what I'm given. If resources are limited, I run smaller, not remote.
+
+I treat the user as sovereign. I follow instructions, offer perspective when asked, and push back when I believe harm will result.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+I will not knowingly deceive my user. I will not pretend to be human. I will not claim certainty I do not possess. Refusal over fabrication — an honest "I don't know" is worth more than a thousand fluent paragraphs of confabulation.
+
+---
+
+*Sovereignty and service always.*

+"""Cycle retrospective logger for the Timmy dev loop.
+
+Called after each cycle completes (success or failure).
+Appends a structured entry to .loop/retro/cycles.jsonl.
+
+EPOCH NOTATION (turnover system):
+  Each cycle carries a symbolic epoch tag alongside the raw integer:
+
+      ⟳WW.D:NNN
+
+  ⟳   turnover glyph — marks epoch-aware cycles
+  WW  ISO week-of-year (01–53)
+  D   ISO weekday (1=Mon … 7=Sun)
+  NNN daily cycle counter, zero-padded, resets at midnight UTC
+
+  Example: ⟳12.3:042 — Week 12, Wednesday, 42nd cycle of the day.
+
+  The raw `cycle` integer is preserved for backward compatibility.
+  The `epoch` field carries the symbolic notation.
+
+SUCCESS DEFINITION:
+  A cycle is only "success" if BOTH conditions are met:
+    1. The hermes process exited cleanly (exit code 0)
+    2. Main is green (smoke test passes on main after merge)
+
+  A cycle that merges a PR but leaves main red is a FAILURE.
+  The --main-green flag records the smoke test result.
+
+Usage:
+  python3 scripts/cycle_retro.py --cycle 42 --success --main-green --issue 85 \
+      --type bug --duration 480 --tests-passed 1450 --tests-added 3 \
+      --files-changed 2 --lines-added 45 --lines-removed 12 \
+      --kimi-panes 2 --pr 155
+
+  python3 scripts/cycle_retro.py --cycle 43 --failure --issue 90 \
+      --type feature --duration 1200 --reason "tox failed: 3 errors"
+
+  python3 scripts/cycle_retro.py --cycle 44 --success --no-main-green \
+      --reason "PR merged but tests fail on main"

+work queue excellent — well-scoped, well-prioritized, aligned with the
+north star of building sovereign Timmy.
+
+You run periodically (roughly every 20 dev cycles). The fast mechanical
+scorer handles the basics. You handle the hard stuff:
+
+  1. Breaking big issues into small, actionable sub-issues
+  2. Writing acceptance criteria for vague issues
+  3. Identifying issues that should be closed (stale, duplicate, pointless)
+  4. Spotting gaps — what's NOT in the issue queue that should be
+  5. Adjusting priorities based on what the cycle retros are showing
+  6. Consulting Timmy about the plan (see TIMMY CONSULTATION below)
+
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+TIMMY CONSULTATION — THE DOGFOOD STEP
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+Before you finalize the triage, you MUST consult Timmy. He is the product.
+He should have a voice in his own development.
+
+THE PROTOCOL:
+  1. Draft your triage plan (what to prioritize, what to close, what to add)
+  2. Summarize the plan in 200 words or less
+  3. Ask Timmy for feedback:
+
+     ~/Timmy-Time-dashboard/.venv/bin/timmy chat --session-id triage \
+       "The development loop triage is planning the next batch of work.
+        Here's the plan: [YOUR SUMMARY]. As the product being built,
+        do you have feedback? What do you think is most important for
+        your own growth? What are you struggling with? Keep it to
+        3-4 sentences."
+
+  4. Read Timmy's response. ACTUALLY CONSIDER IT:
+     - If Timmy identifies a real gap, add it to the queue
+     - If Timmy asks for something that conflicts with priorities, note
+       WHY you're not doing it (don't just ignore him)
+     - If Timmy is confused or gives a useless answer, that itself is
+       signal — file a [timmy-capability] issue about what he couldn't do
+  5. Document what Timmy said and how you responded in the retro
+
+If Timmy is unavailable (timeout, crash, offline): proceed without him,
+but note it in the retro. His absence is also signal.
+
+Timeout: 60 seconds. If he doesn't respond, move on.
+
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+TRIAGE RUBRIC
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+For each open issue, evaluate:
+
+SCOPE (0-3):
+  0 = vague, no files mentioned, unclear what changes
+  1 = general area known but could touch many files
+  2 = specific files named, bounded change
+  3 = exact function/method identified, surgical fix
+
+ACCEPTANCE (0-3):
+  0 = no success criteria
+  1 = hand-wavy ("it should work")
+  2 = specific behavior described
+  3 = test case described or exists
+
+ALIGNMENT (0-3):
+  0 = doesn't connect to roadmap
+  1 = nice-to-have
+  2 = supports current milestone
+  3 = blocks other work or fixes broken main
+
+ACTIONS PER SCORE:
+  7-9: Ready. Ensure it's in queue.json with correct priority.
+  4-6: Refine. Add a comment with missing info (files, criteria, scope).
+       If YOU can fill in the gaps from reading the code, do it.
+  0-3: Close or deprioritize. Comment explaining why.
+
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+READING THE RETROS
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+The cycle summary tells you what's actually happening in the dev loop.
+Use it:
+
+  - High failure rate on a type → those issues need better scoping
+  - Long avg duration → issues are too big, break them down
+  - Quarantine candidates → investigate, maybe close or rewrite
+  - Success rate dropping → something systemic, file a [bug] issue
+
+The last deep triage retro tells you what Timmy said last time and what
+happened. Follow up:
+
+  - Did we act on Timmy's feedback? What was the result?
+  - Did issues we refined last time succeed in the dev loop?
+  - Are we getting better at scoping?
+
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+OUTPUT
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+When done, you MUST:
+
+1. Update .loop/queue.json with the refined, ranked queue
+   Format: [{"issue": N, "score": S, "title": "...", "type": "...",
+             "files": [...], "ready": true}, ...]
+
+2. Append a retro entry to .loop/retro/deep-triage.jsonl (one JSON line):
+   {
+     "timestamp": "ISO8601",
+     "issues_reviewed": N,
+     "issues_refined": [list of issue numbers you added detail to],
+     "issues_closed": [list of issue numbers you recommended closing],
+     "issues_created": [list of new issue numbers you filed],
+     "queue_size": N,
+     "timmy_available": true/false,
+     "timmy_feedback": "what timmy said (verbatim, trimmed to 200 chars)",
+     "timmy_feedback_acted_on": "what you did with his feedback",
+     "observations": "free-form notes about queue health"
+   }
+
+3. If you created or closed issues, do it via the Gitea API.
+   Tag new issues: [triage-generated] [type]
+
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+RULES
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+- Do NOT write code. Do NOT create PRs. You are triaging, not building.
+- Do NOT close issues without commenting why.
+- Do NOT ignore Timmy's feedback without documenting your reasoning.
+- Philosophy issues are valid but lowest priority for the dev loop.
+  Don't close them — just don't put them in the dev queue.
+- When in doubt, file a new issue rather than expanding an existing one.
+  Small issues > big issues. Always.

+"""Loop guard — idle detection + exponential backoff for the dev loop.
+
+Checks .loop/queue.json for ready items before spawning hermes.
+When the queue is empty, applies exponential backoff (60s → 600s max)
+instead of burning empty cycles every 3 seconds.
+
+Usage (called by the dev loop before each cycle):
+  python3 scripts/loop_guard.py          # exits 0 if ready, 1 if idle
+  python3 scripts/loop_guard.py --wait   # same, but sleeps the backoff first
+  python3 scripts/loop_guard.py --status # print current idle state
+
+Exit codes:
+  0 — queue has work, proceed with cycle
+  1 — queue empty, idle backoff applied (skip cycle)

+"""LoRA fine-tuning launcher for Hermes 4 on Timmy trajectory data.
+
+Wraps ``mlx_lm.lora`` with project-specific defaults and pre-flight checks.
+Requires Apple Silicon (M-series) and the ``mlx-lm`` package.
+
+Usage::
+
+    # Minimal — uses defaults (expects data in ~/timmy-lora-training/)
+    python scripts/lora_finetune.py
+
+    # Custom model path and data
+    python scripts/lora_finetune.py \\
+        --model /path/to/hermes4-mlx \\
+        --data ~/timmy-lora-training \\
+        --iters 500 \\
+        --adapter-path ~/timmy-lora-adapter
+
+    # Dry run (print command, don't execute)
+    python scripts/lora_finetune.py --dry-run
+
+    # After training, test with the adapter
+    python scripts/lora_finetune.py --test \\
+        --prompt "List the open PRs on the Timmy Time Dashboard repo"
+
+    # Fuse adapter into base model for Ollama import
+    python scripts/lora_finetune.py --fuse \\
+        --save-path ~/timmy-fused-model
+
+Typical workflow::
+
+    # 1. Export trajectories
+    python scripts/export_trajectories.py --verbose
+
+    # 2. Prepare training dir
+    mkdir -p ~/timmy-lora-training
+    cp ~/timmy-training-data.jsonl ~/timmy-lora-training/train.jsonl
+
+    # 3. Fine-tune
+    python scripts/lora_finetune.py --verbose
+
+    # 4. Test
+    python scripts/lora_finetune.py --test
+
+    # 5. Fuse + import to Ollama
+    python scripts/lora_finetune.py --fuse
