 ## Project Overview
 
-The Nexus is Timmy's canonical 3D/home-world repo.
-Its intended role is:
-- local-first training ground for Timmy
-- wizardly visualization surface for the system
+The Nexus is a Three.js environment — Timmy's sovereign home in 3D space. It serves as the central hub for all portals to other worlds. Stack: vanilla JS ES modules, Three.js 0.183, no bundler.
 
-## Current Repo Truth
+## Architecture
 
-Do not describe this repo as a live browser app on `main`.
+```
+index.html    # Entry point: HUD, chat panel, loading screen, live-reload script
+style.css     # Design system: dark space theme, holographic panels
+app.js        # Three.js scene, shaders, controls, game loop, WS bridge (~all logic)
+portals.json  # Portal registry (data-driven)
+vision.json   # Vision point content (data-driven)
+server.js     # Optional: proxy server for CORS (commit heatmap API)
+```
 
-Current `main` does not ship the old root frontend files:
-- `index.html`
-- `app.js`
-- `style.css`
-- `package.json`
+No build step. Served as static files. Import maps in `index.html` handle Three.js resolution.
 
-A clean checkout of current `main` serves a directory listing if you static-serve the repo root.
-That is world-state truth.
+## WebSocket Bridge (v2.0)
 
-The live browser shell people remember exists in legacy form at:
-- `/Users/apayne/the-matrix`
+The Nexus connects to Timmy's backend via WebSocket for live cognitive state:
 
-That legacy app is source material for migration, not a second canonical repo.
+- **URL**: `?ws=ws://hermes:8765` query param, or default `ws://localhost:8765`
+- **Inbound**: `agent_state`, `agent_move`, `chat_response`, `system_metrics`, `dual_brain`, `heartbeat`
+- **Outbound**: `chat_message`, `presence`
+- **Graceful degradation**: When WS is offline, agents idle locally, chat shows "OFFLINE"
 
-Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus is the only canonical 3D repo.
+## The Hard Rule — Read This First
 
-See:
-- `LEGACY_MATRIX_AUDIT.md`
-- issues `#684`, `#685`, `#686`, `#687`
+**Every PR: net ≤ 10 added lines.** Add 40, remove 30. Can't remove? Import instead.
+You MUST plan your cuts BEFORE writing new code. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
+Do NOT self-merge. Do NOT submit a PR that violates this.
 
-## Architecture (current main)
+## Conventions
 
-Current repo contents are centered on:
-- `nexus/` — Python cognition / heartbeat components
-- `server.py` — local websocket bridge
-- `portals.json`, `vision.json` — data/config artifacts
-- deployment/docs files
+- **ES modules only** — no CommonJS, no bundler
+- **Single-file app** — logic lives in `app.js`; don't split without good reason
+- **Color palette** — defined in `NEXUS.colors` at top of `app.js`
+- **Line budget** — app.js should stay under 1500 lines
+- **Conventional commits**: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `test:`, `chore:`
+- **Branch naming**: `claude/issue-{N}` (e.g. `claude/issue-5`)
+- **One PR at a time** — wait for merge-bot before opening the next
 
-Do not tell contributors to run Vite or edit a nonexistent root frontend on current `main`.
-If browser/UI work is being restored, it must happen through the migration backlog and land back here.
+## Validation (merge-bot checks)
 
-## Hard Rules
+The `nexus-merge-bot.sh` validates PRs before auto-merge:
 
-1. One canonical 3D repo only: `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus`
-2. No parallel evolution of `/Users/apayne/the-matrix` as if it were the product
-3. Rescue useful legacy Matrix work by auditing and migrating it here
-4. Telemetry and durable truth flow through Hermes harness
-5. OpenClaw remains a sidecar, not the governing authority
-6. Before claiming visual validation, prove the app being viewed actually comes from current `the-nexus`
+1. HTML validation — `index.html` must be valid HTML
+2. JS syntax — `node --check app.js` must pass
+3. JSON validation — any `.json` files must parse
+4. File size budget — JS files must be < 500 KB
 
-## Validation Rule
+**Always run `node --check app.js` before committing.**
 
-If you are asked to visually validate Nexus:
-- prove the tested app comes from a clean checkout/worktree of `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus`
-- if current `main` only serves a directory listing or otherwise lacks the browser world, stop calling it visually validated
-- pivot to migration audit and issue triage instead of pretending the world still exists
+## PR Rules
 
-## Migration Priorities
+- **Net addition limit: ≤ 10 lines.** No exceptions. Plan cuts before writing.
+- **Do NOT self-merge.** Submit the PR, a different user merges it.
+- Base every PR on latest `main`
+- Squash merge only
+- Include manual test plan + automated test output in PR body
+- Include `Fixes #N` or `Refs #N` in commit message
 
-1. `#684` — docs truth
-2. `#685` — legacy Matrix preservation audit
-3. `#686` — browser smoke / visual validation rebuild
-4. `#687` — restore wizardly local-first visual shell
-5. then continue portal/gameplay work (`#672`, `#673`, `#674`, `#675`)
+## Running Locally
 
-## Legacy Matrix rescue targets
+```bash
+npx serve . -l 3000
+# open http://localhost:3000
+# To connect to Timmy: http://localhost:3000?ws=ws://hermes:8765
+```
 
-The old Matrix contains real quality work worth auditing:
-- visitor movement and embodiment
-- agent presence / bark / chat systems
-- transcript logging
-- ambient world systems
-- satflow / economy visualization
-- browser smoke tests and production build discipline
+## Gitea API
 
-Preserve the good work.
-Do not preserve stale assumptions or fake architecture.

-# Legacy Matrix Audit
-
-Purpose:
-Preserve useful work from `/Users/apayne/the-matrix` before the Nexus browser shell is rebuilt.
-
-Canonical rule:
-- `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus` is the only canonical 3D repo.
-- `/Users/apayne/the-matrix` is legacy source material, not a parallel product.
-
-## Verified Legacy Matrix State
-
-Local legacy repo:
-- `/Users/apayne/the-matrix`
-
-Observed facts:
-- Vite browser app exists
-- `npm test` passes with `87 passed, 0 failed`
-- 23 JS modules under `js/`
-- package scripts include `dev`, `build`, `preview`, and `test`
-
-## Known historical Nexus snapshot
-
-Useful in-repo reference point:
-- `0518a1c3ae3c1d0afeb24dea9772102f5a3d9a66`
-
-That snapshot still contains browser-world root files such as:
-- `index.html`
-- `app.js`
-- `style.css`
-- `package.json`
-- `tests/`
-
-## Rescue Candidates
-
-### Carry forward into Nexus vNext
-
-1. `agent-defs.js`
-- agent identity definitions
-- useful as seed data/model for visible entities in the world
-
-2. `agents.js`
-- agent objects, state machine, connection lines
-- useful for visualizing Timmy / subagents / system processes in a world-native way
-
-3. `avatar.js`
-- visitor embodiment, movement, camera handling
-- strongly aligned with "training ground" and "walk the world" goals
-
-4. `ui.js`
-- HUD, chat surfaces, overlays
-- useful if rebuilt against real harness data instead of stale fake state
-
-5. `websocket.js`
-- browser-side live bridge patterns
-- useful if retethered to Hermes-facing transport
-
-6. `transcript.js`
-- local transcript capture pattern
-- useful if durable truth still routes through Hermes and browser cache remains secondary
-
-7. `ambient.js`
-- mood / atmosphere system
-- directly supports wizardly presentation without changing system authority
-
-8. `satflow.js`
-- visual economy / payment flow motifs
-- useful if Timmy's economy/agent interactions become a real visible layer
-
-9. `economy.js`
-- treasury / wallet panel ideas
-- useful if later backed by real sovereign metrics
-
-10. `presence.js`
-- who-is-here / online-state UI
-- useful for showing human + agent + process presence in the world
-
-11. `interaction.js`
-- clicking, inspecting, selecting world entities
-- likely needed in any real browser-facing Nexus shell
-
-12. `quality.js`
-- hardware-aware quality tiering
-- useful for local-first graceful degradation on Mac hardware
-
-13. `bark.js`
-- prominent speech / bark system
-- strong fit for Timmy's expressive presence in-world
-
-14. `world.js`, `effects.js`, `scene-objects.js`, `zones.js`
-- broad visual foundation work
-- should be mined for patterns, not blindly transplanted
-
-15. `test/smoke.mjs`
-- browser smoke discipline
-- should inform rebuilt validation in canonical Nexus repo
-
-### Archive as reference, not direct carry-forward
-
-- demo/autopilot assumptions that pretend fake backend activity is real
-- any websocket schema that no longer matches Hermes truth
-- Vite-specific plumbing that is only useful if we consciously recommit to Vite
-
-### Deliberately drop unless re-justified
-
-- anything that presents mock data as if it were live
-- anything that duplicates a better Hermes-native telemetry path
-- anything that turns the browser into the system of record
-
-## Concern Separation for Nexus vNext
-
-When rebuilding inside `the-nexus`, keep concerns separated:
-
-1. World shell / rendering
-- scene, camera, movement, atmosphere
-
-2. Presence and embodiment
-- avatar, agent placement, selection, bark/chat surfaces
-
-3. Harness bridge
-- websocket / API bridge from Hermes truth into browser state
-
-4. Visualization panels
-- metrics, presence, economy, portal states, transcripts
-
-5. Validation
-- smoke tests, screenshot proof, provenance checks
-
-6. Game portal layer
-- Morrowind / portal-specific interaction surfaces
-
-Do not collapse all of this into one giant app file again.
-Do not let visual shell code become telemetry authority.
-
-## Migration Rule
-
-Rescue knowledge first.
-Then rescue modules.
-Then rebuild the browser shell inside `the-nexus`.
-
-No more ghost worlds.
-No more parallel 3D repos.

 # ◈ The Nexus — Timmy's Sovereign Home
 
-The Nexus is Timmy's canonical 3D/home-world repo.
+A Three.js environment serving as Timmy's sovereign space — like Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, existing outside time. The Nexus is the central hub from which all worlds are accessed through portals.
 
-It is meant to become two things at once:
-- a local-first training ground for Timmy
-- a wizardly visualization surface for the living system
+## Features
 
-## Current Truth
+- **Procedural Nebula Skybox** — animated stars, twinkling, layered nebula clouds
+- **Batcave Terminal** — 5 holographic display panels arranged in an arc showing:
+  - Nexus Command (system status, harness state, agent loops)
+  - Dev Queue (live Gitea issue references)
+  - Metrics (uptime, commits, CPU/MEM)
+  - Thought Stream (Timmy's current thoughts)
+  - Agent Status (all agent states)
+- **Morrowind Portal** — glowing torus with animated swirl shader, ready for world connection
+- **Admin Chat (Timmy Terminal)** — real-time message interface, ready for Hermes WebSocket
+- **Nexus Core** — floating crystalline icosahedron on pedestal
+- **Ambient Environment** — crystal formations, floating runestones, energy particles, atmospheric fog
+- **WASD + Mouse Navigation** — first-person exploration of the space
+- **Post-Processing** — Unreal Bloom + SMAA antialiasing
 
-As of current `main`, this repo does **not** ship a browser 3D world.
-In plain language: current `main` does not ship a browser 3D world.
+## Architecture
 
-A clean checkout of `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus` on `main` currently contains:
-- Python heartbeat / cognition files under `nexus/`
-- `server.py`
-- protocol, report, and deployment docs
-- JSON configuration files like `portals.json` and `vision.json`
-
-It does **not** currently contain an active root frontend such as:
-- `index.html`
-- `app.js`
-- `style.css`
-- `package.json`
-
-Serving the repo root today shows a directory listing, not a rendered world.
-
-## One Canonical 3D Repo
-
-`Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus` is the only canonical 3D repo.
-In plain language: Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus is the only canonical 3D repo.
-
-The old local browser app at:
-- `/Users/apayne/the-matrix`
-
-is legacy source material, not a second repo to keep evolving in parallel.
-Useful work from it must be audited and migrated here.
-
-See:
-- `LEGACY_MATRIX_AUDIT.md`
-
-## Why this matters
-
-We do not want to lose real quality work.
-We also do not want to keep two drifting 3D repos alive by accident.
-
-The rule is:
-- rescue good work from legacy Matrix
-- rebuild inside `the-nexus`
-- keep telemetry and durable truth flowing through the Hermes harness
-- keep OpenClaw as a sidecar, not the authority
-
-## Verified historical browser-world snapshot
-
-The commit the user pointed at:
-- `0518a1c3ae3c1d0afeb24dea9772102f5a3d9a66`
-
-still contains the old root browser files (`index.html`, `app.js`, `style.css`, `package.json`, tests/), so it is a useful in-repo reference point for what existed before the later deletions.
-
-## Active migration backlog
-
-- `#684` sync docs to repo truth
-- `#685` preserve legacy Matrix quality work before rewrite
-- `#686` rebuild browser smoke / visual validation for the real Nexus repo
-- `#687` restore a wizardly local-first visual shell from audited Matrix components
-- `#672` rebuild the portal stack as Timmy → Reflex → Pilot
-- `#673` deterministic Morrowind pilot loop with world-state proof
-- `#674` reflex tactical layer and semantic trajectory logging
-- `#675` deterministic context compaction for long local sessions
-
-## What gets preserved from legacy Matrix
-
-High-value candidates include:
-- visitor movement / embodiment
-- chat, bark, and presence systems
-- transcript logging
-- ambient / visual atmosphere systems
-- economy / satflow visualizations
-- smoke and browser validation discipline
-
-Those pieces should be carried forward only if they serve the mission and are re-tethered to real local system state.

 ## Running Locally
 
-### Current repo truth
+```bash
+npx serve . -l 3000
+# Open http://localhost:3000
+```
 
-There is no root browser app on current `main`.
-Do not tell people to static-serve the repo root and expect a world.
+## Roadmap
 
-### What you can run now
+- [ ] Wire chat to Hermes WebSocket (`/api/world/ws`)
+- [ ] Pull live data into terminal panels from Timmy's actual state
+- [ ] Portal walk-through interaction to load destination worlds
+- [ ] Timmy's avatar (lizard wizard body he designs himself)
+- [ ] Connect to AlexanderWhitestone.com as public entry point
+- [ ] Integrate existing Replit timmy-tower world code
 
-- `python3 server.py` for the local websocket bridge
-- Python modules under `nexus/` for heartbeat / cognition work

-### Browser world restoration path
+- **Gitea Issue**: [#1090 — EPIC: Nexus v1](http://143.198.27.163:3000/rockachopa/Timmy-time-dashboard/issues/1090)
+- **Live Demo**: Deployed via Perplexity Computer
 
-The browser-facing Nexus must be rebuilt deliberately through the migration backlog above, using audited Matrix components and truthful validation.
+## Groq Worker
+
+The Groq worker is a dedicated worker for the Groq API. It is designed to be used by the Nexus Mind to offload the thinking process to the Groq API.
+
+### Usage
+
+To use the Groq worker, you need to set the `GROQ_API_KEY` environment variable. You can then run the `nexus_think.py` script with the `--groq-model` argument:
+
+```bash
+export GROQ_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+python -m nexus.nexus_think --groq-model "groq/llama3-8b-8192"
+```
+
+### Recommendations
+
+Groq has fast inference, which makes it a good candidate for tasks like PR reviews. You can use the Groq worker to review PRs by a Gitea webhook.
