# GENOME.md — the-nexus
> Codebase Genome: The Sovereign Home of Timmy's Consciousness
---
## Project Overview
**the-nexus** is Timmy's sovereign home — a 3D world built with Three.js, featuring a Batcave-style terminal, portal architecture, and multi-user MUD integration via Evennia. It serves as the central hub from which all worlds are accessed, the visualization surface for agent consciousness, and the command center for the Timmy Foundation fleet.
**Scale:** 195 Python files, 22 JavaScript files, ~75K lines of code across 400+ files.

## Key Abstractions
### SymbolicEngine (`nexus/symbolic-engine.js`)
Bitmask-based symbolic reasoning engine. Facts are stored as boolean flags, rules fire when patterns match. Used for world state reasoning without LLM overhead.
### NexusMind (`nexus/nexus_think.py`)
The consciousness loop. Receives perceptions, invokes reasoning, produces actions. The bridge between the 3D world and the AI agent.
### PerceptionBuffer (`nexus/perception_adapter.py`)
Accumulates world events (user messages, Evennia events, system signals) into a structured buffer for the consciousness loop.
### MemPalace (`nexus/mempalace/`, `mempalace/`)
Spatial memory system. Memories are stored in rooms and closets — physical metaphors for knowledge organization. Supports fleet-wide shared memory wings.
### Mnemosyne (`nexus/mnemosyne/`)
Holographic archive. Ingests documents, extracts meaning, builds a graph of linked concepts. The long-term memory layer.
### Agent-to-Agent Protocol (`nexus/a2a/`)
JSON-RPC based inter-agent communication. Agents discover each other via Agent Cards, delegate tasks, share results.
### Multi-User Bridge (`multi_user_bridge.py`)
121K-line Evennia MUD bridge. Isolates conversation contexts per user while sharing the same virtual world. Each user gets their own AIAgent instance.
---
## API Surface
### WebSocket API (server.py :8765)
```
ws://localhost:8765
send: {"type": "perception", "data": {...}}
recv: {"type": "action", "data": {...}}
recv: {"type": "heartbeat", "data": {...}}
```
### A2A JSON-RPC (nexus/a2a/server.py)
```
POST /a2a/v1
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "SendMessage", "params": {...}}
GET /.well-known/agent-card.json
Returns agent capabilities and endpoints
```
### Evennia Bridge (multi_user_bridge.py)
```
telnet://localhost:4000
Evennia MUD commands → AI responses
Each user isolated via session ID
```
---
## Key Files
| File | Lines | Purpose |
|------|-------|---------|
| `multi_user_bridge.py` | 121K | Evennia MUD bridge (largest file) |
| `index.html` | 21K | Main 3D world |
| `nexus/symbolic-engine.js` | 12K | Symbolic reasoning |
| `nexus/evennia_ws_bridge.py` | 14K | Evennia ↔ WebSocket |
| `nexus/a2a/server.py` | 12K | A2A server |
| `agent/memory.py` | 12K | Cross-session memory |
| `server.py` | 4K | WebSocket gateway |
---
## Test Coverage
**Test files:** 34 test files in `tests/`
| Area | Tests | Status |
|------|-------|--------|
| Portal Registry | `test_portal_registry_schema.py` | ✅ |
| MemPalace | `test_mempalace_*.py` (4 files) | ✅ |
| Nexus Watchdog | `test_nexus_watchdog.py` | ✅ |
| A2A | `test_a2a.py` | ✅ |
| Fleet Audit | `test_fleet_audit.py` | ✅ |
| Provenance | `test_provenance.py` | ✅ |
| Boot | `boot.test.js` | ✅ |
### Coverage Gaps
- **No tests for `multi_user_bridge.py`** (121K lines, zero test coverage)
- **No tests for `server.py` WebSocket gateway**
- **No tests for `nexus/symbolic-engine.js`** (only `symbolic-engine.test.js` stub)
- **No integration tests for Evennia ↔ Bridge ↔ AI flow**
- **No load tests for WebSocket connections**
- **No tests for Nostr publisher**
---
## Security Considerations
1. **WebSocket gateway** runs on `0.0.0.0:8765` — accessible from network. Needs auth or firewall.
2. **No authentication** on WebSocket or A2A endpoints in current code.
3. **Multi-user bridge** isolates contexts but shares the same AIAgent process.
4. **Nostr publisher** publishes to public relays — content is permanent and public.
5. **Fleet scripts** in `bin/` have broad filesystem access.
6. **Systemd services** (`systemd/llama-server.service`) run as root.
---
## Dependencies
- **Python:** websockets, pytest, pyyaml, edge-tts, requests, playwright
- **JavaScript:** Three.js (CDN), Monaco Editor (CDN)
- **External:** Evennia MUD, llama.cpp, Nostr relay, Gitea
---
## Configuration
| Config | File | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| Fleet agents | `config/fleet_agents.json` | Agent registry for A2A |
| MemPalace | `nexus/mempalace/config.py` | Memory paths and settings |
| DeepDive | `config/deepdive_sources.yaml` | Research sources |
| MCP | `mcp_config.json` | MCP server config |

## What This Genome Reveals
The codebase is a **living organism** — part 3D world, part MUD bridge, part memory system, part fleet orchestrator. The `multi_user_bridge.py` alone is 121K lines — larger than most entire projects.
**Critical findings:**
1. The 121K-line bridge has zero test coverage
2. WebSocket gateway exposes on 0.0.0.0 without auth
3. No load testing infrastructure exists
4. Symbolic engine test is a stub
5. Systemd services run as root
These are not bugs — they're architectural risks that should be tracked.

# Safe Commit Practices
**Issue:** #1430 - [IMPROVEMENT] memory_mine.py ran during git commit — shell injection from commit message
## Problem
During commit for #1124, the commit message contained Python code examples that triggered shell execution of memory_mine.py. The backtick-wrapped code in the commit message was interpreted by the shell during git commit processing.
This is a potential vector for unintended code execution.
## Safe Commit Methods
### 1. Use `git commit -F <file>` (Recommended)
The safest way to commit messages containing code or special characters:
```bash
# Create a file with your commit message
echo "Fix: implement memory_mine.py with backtick example
Example: \`python3 bin/memory_mine.py --days 7\`
This commit adds memory mining functionality." > /tmp/commit-msg.txt
# Commit using the file
git commit -F /tmp/commit-msg.txt
```
### 2. Use the Safe Commit Tool
```bash
# Safe commit with automatic escaping
python3 bin/safe_commit.py -m "Fix: implement memory_mine.py with backtick example"
# Safe commit using file
python3 bin/safe_commit.py -F /tmp/commit-msg.txt
# Check if a message is safe
python3 bin/safe_commit.py --check -m "Example: \`python3 bin/memory_mine.py\`"
```
### 3. Escape Shell Characters Manually
If you must use `git commit -m`, escape special characters:
```bash
# Escape backticks and other shell characters
git commit -m "Fix: implement memory_mine.py with backtick example
Example: \\`python3 bin/memory_mine.py --days 7\\`
This commit adds memory mining functionality."
```
## Dangerous Patterns to Avoid
The following patterns in commit messages can trigger shell execution:
- **Backticks**: `` `command` `` → Executes command
- **Command substitution**: `$(command)` → Executes command
- **Variable expansion**: `${variable}` → Expands variable
- **Pipes**: `command1 | command2` → Pipes output
- **Operators**: `&&`, `||`, `;` → Command chaining
- **Redirects**: `>`, `<` → File operations
## Installation
### Install the Commit Hook
To automatically warn about dangerous patterns:
```bash
# Install the commit-msg hook
python3 bin/safe_commit.py --install-hook
# Or manually
cp .githooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/commit-msg
chmod +x .git/hooks/commit-msg
```
### Configure Git Hooks Path
If using the `.githooks` directory:
```bash
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
```
## Examples
### ❌ Dangerous (Don't do this)
```bash
# This could trigger shell execution
git commit -m "Fix: implement memory_mine.py
Example: \`python3 bin/memory_mine.py --days 7\`
This mines sessions into MemPalace."
```
### ✅ Safe (Do this instead)
```bash
# Method 1: Use file
echo "Fix: implement memory_mine.py
Example: \`python3 bin/memory_mine.py --days 7\`
This mines sessions into MemPalace." > /tmp/commit-msg.txt
git commit -F /tmp/commit-msg.txt
# Method 2: Use safe commit tool
python3 bin/safe_commit.py -m "Fix: implement memory_mine.py
Example: \`python3 bin/memory_mine.py --days 7\`
This mines sessions into MemPalace."
# Method 3: Escape manually
git commit -m "Fix: implement memory_mine.py
Example: \\`python3 bin/memory_mine.py --days 7\\`
This mines sessions into MemPalace."
```
## What Happened in Issue #1430
During commit for #1124, a commit message contained:
```
Example: \`python3 bin/memory_mine.py --days 7\`
```
The backticks were interpreted by the shell during git commit processing, causing memory_mine.py to execute. While the outcome was positive (26 sessions mined), this is a security risk.
## Prevention
1. **Always use `git commit -F <file>`** for messages containing code
2. **Install the commit-msg hook** to warn about dangerous patterns
3. **Use the safe_commit.py tool** for automatic escaping
4. **Document safe patterns** in team guidelines
## Related Issues
- **Issue #1430:** This improvement
- **Issue #1124:** Original issue that triggered the problem
## Files
- `bin/safe_commit.py` - Safe commit tool
- `.githooks/commit-msg` - Commit hook (to be installed)
- `docs/safe-commit-practices.md` - This documentation
## Conclusion
Shell injection in commit messages is a real security risk. By using safe commit practices, we can prevent unintended code execution while still allowing code examples in commit messages.
**Remember:** When in doubt, use `git commit -F <file>` instead of `git commit -m`.
