+# Forge-Wide QA Pass — 2026-04-12 Evening
+
+**Reviewer:** Perplexity  
+**Scope:** All 6 Timmy Foundation repos  
+**Source:** Issue #1333 on `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus`  
+**Reference:** `perplexity-status-report-2026-04-12-evening`
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+| Repo | Open PRs | Reviewed | Approved | Changes Requested | Closed |
+|------|----------|----------|----------|-------------------|--------|
+| the-nexus | 33 → 32 | 10 | 8 | 1 | 1 |
+| timmy-config | 5 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
+| timmy-home | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
+| fleet-ops | 0 | — | — | — | — |
+| hermes-agent | 0 | — | — | — | — |
+| the-beacon | 0 | 1 post-merge flag | — | — | — |
+
+**Total: 40 open PRs across the org. 17 reviewed this pass.**
+
+---
+
+## Critical Findings
+
+### 1. the-nexus swarm pileup (again)
+33 open PRs, 31 from Rockachopa via mimo-v2-pro swarm. These are NOT empty/stale like the April 11 event — they contain real diffs. However:
+- **Triple duplicate:** PRs #1319, #1322, #1328 all delete `CONTRIBUTORING.md`. Closed #1322 as duplicate.
+- **4 sibling `app.js` PRs** (#1285, #1307, #1330, #1331) branch from the same commit. Merge sequentially or they'll conflict.
+- **Queue throttle not deployed yet:** PR #1327 adds `MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH=10` to the dispatcher — the fix for this exact problem. **Merge #1327 first and restart the dispatcher.**
+
+### 2. CAPTCHA bypass tool in timmy-config #499
+The multimodal toolsuite PR includes a `captcha_solver.py`. This needs explicit human sign-off — it's a policy decision, not a code decision. Requested changes.
+
+### 3. the-beacon Gemini bloat
+PR #76 (merged) added +3,258 lines for two small fixes. Gemini likely rewrote large portions of `game.js`. Also: `game/npc-logic.js` and `scripts/guardrails.js` may be dead code (runtime lives in `js/`). Flagged for audit.
+
+### 4. Paper PRs need polish (timmy-home)
+Both papers (#596 Poka-Yoke, #597 Sovereign Fleet) are real work but have specific bugs:
+- #596: path injection security bug + broken citation
+- #597: real IPs in public-facing tables + wrong LaTeX style
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Merge Order (the-nexus)
+
+1. **#1327** — Queue throttle (stops the pileup)
+2. **#1319** — .gitea.yml cleanup
+3. **#1326** — Multi-user bridge (Timmy, strong)
+4. **#1330** — GOFAI facts (Timmy, clean)
+5. **#1285** — Performance gating
+6. **#1329** — Watchdog fix
+7. **#1331** — Health HUD
+8. **#1328** — Portfolio CTA (rebase after #1319)
+9. Remaining 23 Rockachopa PRs need individual review
+
+## What's Working Well
+
+- **Timmy's PR quality is excellent.** Both #1330 and #1326 are targeted, complete, well-structured.
+- **hermes-agent is clean.** PR #300 (malformed JSON repair, +1 line, saves ~1,400 inference turns) is the best ROI change in the org.
+- **fleet-ops GOFIA series** (#80, #81, #82) landed with strong test coverage.
+- **the-beacon** shipped 9 PRs with real game features (emotional arcs, procedural sound, golden ratio economics).
+
+## What Needs Attention
+
+- Deploy the queue throttle (#1327) before the next swarm cycle
+- Audit `the-beacon/game.js` for Gemini-introduced regressions
+- The remaining 23 unreviewed nexus PRs — continue reviewing if desired
+- Branch protection still not enabled (waiting on rockachopa per #1253/#1255)
