-## 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)
